Google Search MCP Server

What is Google Search MCP Server?

A standalone Windows MCP server that gives Claude Google search and web research capabilities, powered by SerpAPI. It ships as a single self-contained .exe — no Node.js, no npm install, no external runtime.

How to use Google Search MCP Server?

Download the pre-built .exe from the releases page, place it permanently, and configure your SerpAPI key in the env block of your MCP client config (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json). Restart Claude Desktop after saving. The server also offers a GUI installer when double-clicked, plus CLI subcommands (init, uninstall, status, diagnose, service).
