Google Search MCP Integration Guide

serp MCP 服务器集成

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a model context protocol launched by Anthropic that allows AI models (such as Claude, GPT, etc.) to call external tools through standardized interfaces. With the SERP MCP Server provided by AceData Cloud, you can directly perform Google searches in AI clients like Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, etc., to obtain search results for web pages, images, news, videos, locations, and more.

Feature Overview

The SERP MCP Server provides the following core functionalities:

• Web Search — Search Google web results
• Image Search — Search Google images
• News Search — Search Google news
• Video Search — Search Google videos
• Location Search — Search Google location information
• Map Search — Search Google maps
• Multilingual and Multiregional — Supports custom country and language parameters
• Time Range Filtering — Filter results by day, week, month, year

Prerequisites

Before use, you need to obtain an AceData Cloud API Token:

1. Register or log in to the AceData Cloud platform
2. Go to the Google SERP API page
3. Click “Acquire” to get the API Token (first-time applicants receive free credits)

Installation Configuration

Method 1: pip Installation (Recommended)

pip install mcp-serp

Method 2: Source Installation

git clone https://github.com/AceDataCloud/MCPSerp.git
cd MCPSerp
pip install -e .

Once the installation is complete, you can use the mcp-serp command to start the service.

Using in Claude Desktop

Edit the Claude Desktop configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "serp": {
      "command": "mcp-serp",
      "env": {
        "ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN": "Your API Token"
      }
    }
  }
}

If using uvx (no need to install the package in advance):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "serp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-serp"],
      "env": {
        "ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN": "Your API Token"
      }
    }
  }
}

After saving the configuration, restart Claude Desktop to use the Google search-related tools in the conversation.

Using in VS Code / Cursor

Create a .vscode/mcp.json in the project root directory:

{
  "servers": {
    "serp": {
      "command": "mcp-serp",
      "env": {
        "ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN": "Your API Token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or use uvx:

{
  "servers": {
    "serp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-serp"],
      "env": {
        "ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN": "Your API Token"
      }
    }
  }
}
