Gsearch

Overview

Gsearch is a Model Context Protocol server that brings free Google Search directly into any MCP-compatible AI tool, complete with inline citations. Instead of switching between applications, AI assistants can call Gsearch as a native tool to search the web and retrieve results with proper attribution.

The server runs locally on your machine via the npm package @daanielcruz/gsearch-mcp, installed with npx -y @daanielcruz/gsearch-mcp. It requires an API Key for authentication and operates over stdio. Version 1.1.0 is the latest release, distributed under the MIT license with source code available at daanielcruz/gsearch-mcp on GitHub.

Gsearch is listed in the Development category on mcp.site and works with any MCP client including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this project, you can claim this listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
