Search the Web using Google Custom Search API

概览

What is Google Programmable Search Engine (PSE) MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the Google Programmable Search Engine (PSE) API. It exposes a search tool that lets MCP-compatible clients (such as VS Code, Copilot, and Claude Desktop) perform web searches using Google Custom Search.

How to use Google Programmable Search Engine (PSE) MCP Server?

No manual cloning or installation is needed. Add the configuration snippet to your MCP client’s settings (e.g., VS Code’s settings.json or Cline’s cline_mcp_settings.json), replacing <api_key> and <cx> with your Google API key and custom search engine ID. An optional <siteRestricted> flag (true/false) controls the endpoint used.

常见问题

What credentials do I need?

You need a Google API key and a Custom Search Engine ID (cx). Both are available from the Google Cloud Console.

How does the `siteRestricted` flag work?

It determines whether the server uses the Site‑Restricted API endpoint or the standard Custom Search endpoint. The default value (`true`) uses the restricted endpoint; set it to `false` to use the standard endpoint.

What parameters does the `search` tool accept?

Required: `q` (query). Optional: `page` (number), `size` (1–10), `sort` (only `"date"`), `safe` (boolean), `lr` (language code), and `siteRestricted` (boolean).

What runtime does the server require?

The server runs via `npx` (Node.js package runner). No separate installation steps are needed.

Which transport does it use?

The server communicates over stdio, which is the default transport for MCP servers.
