Siftdog MCP

Siftdog is an open-source, self-hosted Tavily-compatible API that provides web search, content extraction, crawling, and site mapping capabilities for AI agents. It exposes four read-only MCP tools (search, extract, crawl, map) over stdio or HTTP, allowing agents to retrieve ranked web results, clean markdown from pages, and follow site links without requiring a third-party search API key.
