NPM Package Github Repo

About

Google CSE enables LLMs to search the web using a Google Custom Search Engine and retrieve a list of results containing the title, link, and snippet of each result; it is designed to be combined with other MCP servers to extract the content from search results or enable complex tool chaining workflows. Note that the free quota is limited to 100 searches per day; consider using another server if this is insufficient.

Key Features

  • Returns title, link and snippet for each search result.
  • Supports various configuration options for customizing search behavior (country, geolocation, language, result number).
  • Compatible with the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
  • Easy setup using environment variables for API key and engine ID.

Use Cases

  • Enabling LLMs to perform web searches.
  • Combining with other MCP servers (e.g., mcp-server-fetch) to extract content from search results.
  • Implementing 'deep search' or tool chaining workflows with LLMs.
