Search the web.Skip the API keys.

One query, fourteen sources, one ranked list.

qany runs your query against public search, news, code, package, and paper indexes. It removes duplicate URLs, fuses the rankings with Reciprocal Rank Fusion, and adjusts the order with query overlap, source intent, and what you have read before.

When not to use it. qany is a poor fit if you need sub-second latency or an SLA, if you run high query volume or pool IPs, if you need semantic search over a curated index, or if you need compliance guarantees. A paid API will beat qany on vague or invented-word queries.

Three commands to a search.

qany runs on Bun 1.4.2, and the build and the test suite target that version.

curl -fsSL https://bun.com/install | bash

bun add -g @qexle/qany

qany search "bun htmlrewriter"

Six commands, one binary.

The CLI prints three lines per result. Pass --json when another program is reading.

qany search "sqlite fts5 bm25" -n 5
qany more https://bun.com/docs/runtime/html-rewriter
qany fetch https://bun.com/docs/runtime --max-chars 4000
qany serve -p 8787

Question-shaped searches rerank automatically. When every engine returns nothing, qany retries once with DuckDuckGo's autocomplete suggestion. Set QANY_CACHE_DIR to move the cache, QANY_NO_CACHE=1 to disable it, and QANY_NO_LEARN=1 to stop recording pages in the local corpus.

Point your agent at it.

qany speaks MCP over stdio. It also serves a local HTTP API. There is no hosted account and no token exchange.

claude mcp add --transport stdio qany -- bunx @qexle/qany@0.3.0 mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qany": {
      "command": "bunx",
      "args": ["@qexle/qany@0.3.0", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

opencode mcp add qany -- bunx @qexle/qany@0.3.0 mcp

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "qany": {
        "type": "local",
        "command": ["bunx", "@qexle/qany@0.3.0", "mcp"]
      }
    }
  }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qany": {
      "command": "bunx",
      "args": ["@qexle/qany@0.3.0", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

qany serve -p 8787

curl "http://localhost:8787/search?q=bun+htmlrewriter"
curl "http://localhost:8787/search?q=bun+htmlrewriter&n=5&format=json"
curl "http://localhost:8787/fetch?url=https://example.com&max_chars=4000&format=json"

Any MCP client. Spawn bunx @qexle/qany@0.3.0 mcp and speak newline-delimited JSON-RPC 2.0 on stdin and stdout. qany implements tools/list, tools/call for search, more, recall, and fetch, server/discover for MCP 2026-07-28, and the legacy initialize handshake.

A retrieval system with its own ranking.

qany runs fourteen engines and ranks the merged result itself, with Reciprocal Rank Fusion, a relevance vote and a freshness tie-break.

export interface Engine {
  name: string;
  minIntervalMs: number;
  search(query: string, num: number): Promise<SearchResult[]>;
}

The honest part.

qany is free because it reads public endpoints. That trade shows up in four places.
