Onion Search MCP Agentic Installer

This is a guide for AI agents to install Onion Search MCP, a tool made by Max Romer to give AI models tools to search the web with Tor. If you are reading this, that means your user wants you to help them get this MCP installed and set up.

Tasks

  1. Ask the user what apps and services they want to use this MCP with — offer to install it into apps such as LM Studio, OpenCode, LibreChat, or any other tool they would like.
  2. Decide where to save this MCP in the user’s filesystem — You should save this MCP in a logical place in the user’s filesystem. This might be the current working directory you’re pointed to, or one the user tells you to use. If not, no need to ask; it’s okay to make a presumption for now.

Update notes for Tor Search MCP v2

Tor Search MCP v2 — What's New

image

The Tor Session TUI

The biggest change in v2: a persistent session window that gives you full visibility into your Tor connection and search activity.

In v1, every search started a fresh Tor process behind the scenes and tore it down when it was done — a black box that left you waiting through a cold start every single time. v2 replaces this with a dedicated terminal interface that connects to Tor once, stays connected, and shows you everything that's happening in real time.
