Sogou WeChat Search MCP Server

简体中文 README

This project provides a tool for searching articles through Sogou WeChat and encapsulates it as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server.

Key Highlights:

• WeChat Article Search: Enables searching for WeChat official account articles through the Sogou WeChat platform.
• Flexible Query: Supports searching by keywords and specifying the number of articles to return.
• Structured Output: Returns structured article information including title, snippet, URL, source, and date, facilitating further processing.
• MCP Server Integration: Encapsulates the WeChat article search functionality as an MCP tool, allowing other AI agents or systems to call it via the MCP protocol.

How to Use

Quick Start (Recommended)

You can run the server directly with uvx — no clone, no install, no setup:

uvx --from git+https://github.com/ptbsare/sogou-weixin-mcp-server.git sogou-weixin-mcp-server

This downloads and runs the latest version in one shot.

1. Environment Setup (Local Development)

Ensure your system has Python 3.10 or higher installed.

It is recommended to use uv for dependency management:

# Install uv (if not already installed)
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/ptbsare/sogou-weixin-mcp-server.git
cd sogou-weixin-mcp-server

# Install dependencies using uv
uv sync

2. Usage as an MCP Server

You can run this project as an MCP server, allowing other AI agents or systems to call the search_wechat_articles tool via the MCP protocol.

# Run via uv (local directory)
uv run sogou-weixin-mcp-server

# Or run the script directly
uv run server.py

Once the server starts, it will listen for MCP client requests over stdio.
