SerpApi MCP Server

About

SerpApi MCP exposes search engine results to AI assistants through SerpApi, supporting live research and structured search data retrieval.

Key Features

• Search supported engines such as Google, Bing and YouTube.
• Inspect engine-specific parameters through MCP resources.

Use Cases

Find current web information and retrieve sources for an agent research task.

Limitations

Search availability and usage limits follow the SerpApi account; this is a SerpApi integration rather than a Google-operated server.
