Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified that this server's namespace belongs to serpgrab.com, which also runs its endpoint. That identifies the publisher; it does not make the server's tools safe.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted MCP server that gives an assistant real-time Google web search results and Google Maps place listings through two tools.

What you can do: Run Google web searches and get titles, URLs, dates, snippets, plus AI Overview, answer box, knowledge panel, local pack, ads and People also ask when shown; control pages, country, language, location and recency window. Search Google Maps for businesses and places, 20 per page, with rating, review count, price, address, phone, hours, website, coordinates and place_id; position the search by query or map coordinates. Results come back as compact text written for a model's context rather than raw JSON.
When to use it: Useful when an assistant needs current web results or local business and place details, such as answering question-style queries that benefit from an AI Overview, or finding and comparing businesses in an area.
Requirements: Remote streamable HTTP endpoint; nothing to install. A serpgrab API key sent in the X-API-Key header is required to run tools (listing tools works without one); free tier is 250 searches a month. RapidAPI Pro subscribers instead use X-RapidAPI-Key and X-RapidAPI-Host. Clients that only take a URL can pass the key as a query parameter; stdio-only clients connect via mcp-remote.

Before you install

Requires an API key; keep it private, since clients that only accept a URL store the key inside the URL with their settings. Each results page read is one billed search, and the Pro plan costs $15 a month for 5,000 searches. On RapidAPI, connecting and each tool call count against the plan's requests. Queries and search parameters are sent to a third-party service.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open serpgrab: Google Search and Maps in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Connect X-API-Key credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.serpgrab%2Fgoogle-search/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

README

serpgrab MCP server

A hosted MCP server that gives AI agents real-time Google search and Google Maps results, from serpgrab. There is nothing to install: add one URL to your MCP client.

This repository holds the setup docs and client config examples. The server itself runs on our infrastructure and is not open source. It is listed in the official MCP registry as com.serpgrab/google-search.

Tools

google_search: Google web results (title, URL, date, snippet), plus the AI Overview, answer box, knowledge panel, local pack, ads and "People also ask" when Google shows them.
google_maps_search: businesses and places from Google Maps, 20 a page, with rating, reviews, price, address, phone, hours, website, coordinates and place_id.

Results come back as compact text written for a model's context, not raw JSON.

`google_search`

Argument	Default
`query`	(required)	The search, as typed into Google
`pages`	1	Result pages to read, 1-3 (about 10 results each)
`country`	`us`	Two-letter country Google searches from (`gl`)
`language`	`en`	Interface language (`hl`)
`location`		Search as if from a place, e.g. `Austin, Texas, United States`
`time`		`hour`, `day`, `week`, `month` or `year`: only recent results

`google_maps_search`

Argument	Default
`query`	(required)	What to look for, e.g. `pizza in austin tx`
`ll`		Map position, `@latitude,longitude,zoomz`, e.g. `@30.2672,-97.7431,14z`
`page`	1	Results page, 20 places each
`country`	`us`	Two-letter country (`gl`)
`language`	`en`	Interface language (`hl`)

Get a key

Free: 250 searches a month, email signup, no card: https://serpgrab.com/#signup

Connecting and listing the tools work without a key; running a tool needs one. Each results page the agent reads is one search.

Setup

Replace YOUR_KEY with your serpgrab key.

Claude Code

bash

claude mcp add --transport http serpgrab https://api.serpgrab.com/mcp \  --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY"

claude mcp add --transport http serpgrab https://api.serpgrab.com/mcp \  --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY"

Cursor

In ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or .cursor/mcp.json in a project:

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "serpgrab": {      "url": "https://api.serpgrab.com/mcp",      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_KEY" }    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "serpgrab": {      "url": "https://api.serpgrab.com/mcp",      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_KEY" }    }  }}

VS Code

In .vscode/mcp.json, or run MCP: Open User Configuration:

json

{  "servers": {    "serpgrab": {      "type": "http",      "url": "https://api.serpgrab.com/mcp",      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_KEY" }    }  }}

{  "servers": {    "serpgrab": {      "type": "http",      "url": "https://api.serpgrab.com/mcp",      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_KEY" }    }  }}

Windsurf

In Cascade's MCP menu, choose Open MCP config file and add:

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "serpgrab": {      "serverUrl": "https://api.serpgrab.com/mcp",      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_KEY" }    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "serpgrab": {      "serverUrl": "https://api.serpgrab.com/mcp",      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_KEY" }    }  }}

Codex

In ~/.codex/config.toml:

toml

[mcp_servers.serpgrab]url = "https://api.serpgrab.com/mcp"http_headers = { "X-API-Key" = "YOUR_KEY" }

[mcp_servers.serpgrab]url = "https://api.serpgrab.com/mcp"http_headers = { "X-API-Key" = "YOUR_KEY" }

Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT and other clients that only take a URL

Put the key in the URL and choose no authentication:

Claude.ai and Claude Desktop: Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector.
ChatGPT: turn on developer mode, then Settings › Connectors › Create.

We don't log keys sent in the URL, but the client stores the URL with its settings, so keep it as private as the key.

Clients that only speak stdio

Connect through mcp-remote:

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "serpgrab": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://api.serpgrab.com/mcp", "--header", "X-API-Key:YOUR_KEY"]    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "serpgrab": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://api.serpgrab.com/mcp", "--header", "X-API-Key:YOUR_KEY"]    }  }}

Pro plan on RapidAPI

Pro is $15 a month for 5,000 searches, on RapidAPI. Subscribers connect through RapidAPI's gateway with their RapidAPI key:

bash

claude mcp add --transport http serpgrab https://google-serp-search-results-json.p.rapidapi.com/mcp \  --header "X-RapidAPI-Key: YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY" \  --header "X-RapidAPI-Host: google-serp-search-results-json.p.rapidapi.com"

claude mcp add --transport http serpgrab https://google-serp-search-results-json.p.rapidapi.com/mcp \  --header "X-RapidAPI-Key: YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY" \  --header "X-RapidAPI-Host: google-serp-search-results-json.p.rapidapi.com"

RapidAPI counts every request to the server, so connecting uses about three of your plan's requests, and each tool call one more.

Transport

Streamable HTTP, stateless, with JSON replies (no SSE stream). Only POST is used.

The API underneath

serpgrab returns Google results in SerpApi's JSON format, so the same key also works for your own code: see the migration guide and the OpenAPI spec.
