SerpApi MCP
the six Ws · specification
Developers and agents that need structured Google, Bing, or other search engine results pages.
SerpApi's official MCP server wraps its scraping API to return structured search, news, maps, and shopping results.
Runs locally or via a hosted endpoint that proxies requests to SerpApi's cloud scraping infrastructure.
Used whenever an agent needs live, structured SERP data instead of a single web-search summary.
Gives agents machine-readable search results (ranks, snippets, ads, local packs) rather than raw HTML.
Requires a paid or free-tier SerpApi API key tied to a usage quota.
Official, published under the serpapi GitHub organization, open source; the API key is billed per search and returns only public search-result data, so it does not expose private user data.
