Overview

What is SerpApi MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates with SerpApi to provide comprehensive search engine results and data extraction from multiple search engines.

How to use SerpApi MCP Server?

Use the hosted service at mcp.serpapi.com with your API key in the URL path or Authorization header. Configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) with a JSON entry pointing to https://mcp.serpapi.com/YOUR_SERPAPI_API_KEY/mcp. For self-hosting, clone the repository, run uv sync && uv run src/server.py, and set http://localhost:8000/YOUR_SERPAPI_API_KEY/mcp in your client.

Key features of SerpApi MCP Server

  • Multi-engine search (Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, YouTube, eBay, and more)
  • Engine-specific parameter schemas exposed as MCP resources
  • Real-time weather and stock market data via search queries
  • Dynamic detection and formatting of result types (answer boxes, organic, news, images, shopping)
  • Flexible compact or complete JSON response modes
  • Optional interactive UI tools (search_table and search_dashboard) for supporting hosts

Use cases of SerpApi MCP Server

  • Performing web searches through an AI assistant that uses MCP
  • Extracting structured search data (e.g., local business info, news results) for analysis
  • Fetching real-time weather or stock information without a separate API call
  • Building conversational agents that present search results as interactive tables or dashboards

Frequently asked questions

1

How does authentication work?

Two methods: path-based (include API key in URL: `/YOUR_API_KEY/mcp`) or header-based (`Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`).

2

What languages or runtimes are required?

Python 3.13+ is required for self-hosting. The hosted service requires only an API key and an MCP client.

3

Where does the data come from?

All search data is fetched from SerpApi, which aggregates results from supported search engines based on your query and parameters.

4

What are the known limits or error cases?

Common issues include a missing or invalid API key, rate limit exceeded (wait or upgrade plan), or "no results" for certain queries or engines.

5

Which transports are supported?

The server uses HTTP transport with a streamable HTTP endpoint (e.g., `https://mcp.serpapi.com/YOUR_API_KEY/mcp`). Self-hosted uses the same configuration on `localhost:8000`.
