Give your AI agent real-time internet search via self-hosted SearXNG. No API key. No per-search cost. This guide provides the exact configuration required to load the agentic_web_search tool inside VS Code.

Step 1: Open the configuration file

Locate and open your VS Code configuration file at the following path:

Step 2: Add the server config

Copy and paste the following JSON snippet into the file. Save the file and restart VS Code.

    "agenticstore": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["agentic-store-mcp", "--tools", "agentic_web_search"]
    }

}
