About Nimrod

Nimrod is an MCP server published by orchis.ai. Web search with quality scores; web pages are read on your computer by the local server.

It runs on your own machine: your AI client starts it from the MCP bundle package https://github.com/mixelpixx/Nimrod/releases/download/v2.1.0/nimrod.mcpb, with no version pinned, or you can connect to the hosted version instead.

It asks for one secret: NIMROD_API_KEY. Give it a key with the least access that still works.

Version 2.1.0 was published on 2 October 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.

Written from the registry entry. 9 automated checks on the registry entry and the package code: 6 pass, 1 warn, 0 fail, 2 info. How we check.
