Overview

What is Google Search Tool?

Google Search Tool is a Playwright-based Node.js tool that bypasses search engine anti-scraping mechanisms to execute Google searches and extract results.

How to use Google Search Tool?

Install from source, build with pnpm build, then run google-search "search keywords" with optional flags (e.g., --limit, --timeout, --get-html). For MCP integration, configure your Claude Desktop’s claude_desktop_config.json with the command npx google-search-mcp (or alternative Windows configurations).
