wigolo Adds 2,529 Stars in a Week Running Embeddings, Reranking and a Browser Engine On-Device — 18 Search Adapters, Zero API Keys

GitHub·high signal

KnockOutEZ/wigolo (3,641 stars, +2,529 this week, 244 forks) is an MCP server exposing ten web tools — search, fetch, crawl, extract, cache, find_similar, research, agent, diff, watch — backed by 18 direct search adapters with rank fusion and ML reranking, all running locally on Node ≥20 with ~1.5GB disk under ~/.wigolo/. Core search works with no API keys via public engines, and query data never leaves the machine. In its own four-way benchmark against WebSearch, Tavily, and Exa all tools converged on the same answer, but wigolo alone returned verbatim excerpts pinned to byte-offset source spans with explainable score decomposition — citation provenance an agent can actually verify.
