Overview
wigolo gives coding and self-hosted agents one tool surface for web search (18 engine adapters with rank fusion and on-device reranking), fetch, crawl, extract, cache, find-similar, research and an autonomous gather loop. It runs as an MCP server over stdio, a REST API on port 3333, or through TypeScript and Python SDKs. Core tools need no API keys; research and agent synthesis need an LLM provider or return a raw brief.
Who it is for: Developers giving coding or self-hosted agents local, keyless web access
Strengths
- Search, fetch, crawl, extract and cache work without API keys; data stays under ~/.wigolo/
- Results include verbatim excerpts with byte-offset source spans and a per-result score breakdown
- Fetch escalates from plain HTTP to a headless browser on challenges or SPA shells
- Also ships REST/OpenAPI, TS and Python SDKs, and LangChain, CrewAI, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK wrappers
Weaknesses
- Public beta status per the README
- AGPL-3.0 per README badge; detected license is NOASSERTION, so check LICENSING.md
- Synthesized answers from research and agent need an external or local LLM configured
- Datacenter IPs may fail on challenge-protected sites; proxy is opt-in
What it needs
- no GPU
- Docker
- Needs Node.js >= 20, ~1.5 GB disk for browser engine and models, Optional LLM provider (Gemini, Anthropic, OpenAI, Groq, Ollama)
- Models: Gemini, Anthropic, OpenAI, Groq, Ollama
- port 3333
