It was designed to give AI agents practical web research workflows packaged as Agent Skills. The package integrates DuckDuckGo search, direct page fetching, and Jina Reader for complex content extraction, returning results formatted for LLM consumption. It supports six research skills: article-audit (evaluating article accuracy and framing), deep-research (general lookups and deep dives), fact-check (verifying specific claims), news-monitor (recent updates), competitive-intel (market analysis), and tech-advisor (technology evaluation).\n\nThe package works with 50+ coding agents including Claude Code, Codex, VS Code/GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Pi Coding Agent, Kiro CLI, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, and JetBrains IDEs. It requires Python >=3.10 and runs as Agent Skills by default, with an optional MCP server fallback for tools that do not support skills. However, because this package is deprecated, new installations should use web-forager instead.","worth_installing":"No. This package is deprecated; the summary explicitly states 'Install web-forager instead.' While it has active maintenance, low install friction, and no known vulnerabilities, installing a deprecated package defeats the purpose. Install web-forager directly to avoid future maintenance burden and ensure you receive ongoing updates."},"id":"duckduckgo-mcp","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/duckduckgo-mcp","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/duckduckgo-mcp.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/duckduckgo-mcp/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-03-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"duckduckgo-mcp","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"DEPRECATED: This package has been renamed to web-forager.
