If you set up your browser's default search engine as DuckDuckGo, this works from the location bar (at least in Firefox):

    !mdn await
This will perform a query to DuckDuckGo (the non-tracking search engine) first, and automatically redirect to MDN.

No need for extra add-ons; this is one of the standard set of 'bangs' DuckDuckGo provides.

If you go to chrome settings -> Manage search engines and define a new search engine with Keyword: "m" and "URL with %s in place of query": https://www.google.com/search?&q=site%3Adeveloper.mozilla.or... typing "m await" in the omnibar will jump to the first google result from MDN, which is what it seems mdn.io does.
