Everything you need to know about SearchBase.
SearchBase is a privacy-focused search engine optimized for AI Agents and LLMs. It scrapes the web, strips away noise like ads and navbars, and returns clean, token-optimized Markdown content directly to your context window.
Yes, the core engine is open source and free to self-host under the AGPLv3 license. If you prefer not to manage infrastructure, you can sign up and use the managed SearchBase Cloud with usage-based billing.
SearchBase uses headless browsing to access the web, processes the HTML to extract only relevant content, and converts it into high-quality Markdown. This ensures you get the most information with the least amount of tokens.
Absolutely! SearchBase is built with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) in mind, making it incredibly easy to integrate into any AI agent or LLM workflow.
