Bing Search MCP Overview

The leehanchung/bing-search-mcp MCP server exposes Microsoft Bing Search API queries to MCP-compatible AI clients. It provides separate tools for general web, news, and image searches, with parameters for result count, offset, market, and news freshness. Configure a Bing API key through the environment, then run the server locally with uvx. Reach for it when an agent needs Bing-backed search results rather than direct browser automation.
