# test-serper-mcp MCP Server
This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides with authentication via Bearer tokens access to the test-serper-mcp API. It enables AI agents and LLMs to interact with test-serper-mcp through standardized tools.
## Features
- 🔧 **MCP Protocol**: Built on the Model Context Protocol for seamless AI integration
- 🌐 **Full API Access**: Provides tools for interacting with test-serper-mcp endpoints
- 🔐 **Secure Authentication**: Supports API key authentication via Bearer tokens
- 💳 **HTTP 402 Payment Protocol**: Dual-mode operation (authenticated or paid access)
- 🔗 **D402 Integration**: Uses traia_iatp.d402 for blockchain payment verification
- 🐳 **Docker Support**: Easy deployment with Docker and Docker Compose
- ⚡ **Async Operations**: Built with FastMCP for efficient async handling
## API Documentation
- **test-serper-mcp Website**: [https://google.serper.dev](https://google.serper.dev)
- **API Documentation**: [https://serper.dev/docs](https://serper.dev/docs)
## Available Tools
This server provides the following tools:
- **`example_tool`**: Placeholder tool (to be implemented)
- **`get_api_info`**: Get information about the API service and authentication status
*Note: Replace `example_tool` with actual test-serper-mcp API tools based on the documentation.*
## Installation
### Using Docker (Recommended)
1. Clone this repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Traia-IO/test-serper-mcp-mcp-server.git
cd test-serper-mcp-mcp-server
```
2. Set your API key:
```bash
export TEST_SERPER_MCP_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
```
3. Run with Docker:
```bash
./run_local_docker.sh
```
### Using Docker Compose
1. Create a `.env` file with your configuration:
```env
# Server's internal API key (for payment mode)
TEST_SERPER_MCP_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
# Server payment address (for HTTP 402 protocol)
SERVER_ADDRESS=0x1234567890123456789012345678901234567890
# Operator keys (for signing settlement attestations)
MCP_OPERATOR_PRIVATE_KEY=0x1234567890abcdef...
MCP_OPERATOR_ADDRESS=0x9876543210fedcba...
# Optional: Testing mode (skip settlement for local dev)
D402_TESTING_MODE=false
PORT=8000
```
2. Start the server:
```bash
docker-compose up
```
### Manual Installation
1. Install dependencies using `uv`:
```bash
uv pip install -e .
```
2. Run the server:
```bash
TEST_SERPER_MCP_API_KEY="your-api-key-here" uv run python -m server
```
## Usage
### Health Check
Test if the server is running:
```bash
python mcp_health_check.py
```
### Using with CrewAI
```python
from traia_iatp.mcp.traia_mcp_adapter import create_mcp_adapter_with_auth
# Connect with authentication
with create_mcp_adapter_with_auth(
url="http://localhost:8000/mcp/",
api_key="your-api-key"
) as tools:
# Use the tools
for tool in tools:
print(f"Available tool: {tool.name}")
# Example usage
result = await tool.example_tool(query="test")
print(result)
```
## Authentication & Payment (HTTP 402 Protocol)
This server supports **two modes of operation**:
### Mode 1: Authenticated Access (Free)
Clients with their own test-serper-mcp API key can use the server for free:
```bash
# Request with client's API key
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/mcp \
-H "Authorization: Bearer CLIENT_TEST_SERPER_MCP_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"example_tool","arguments":{"query":"test"}}}'
```
**Flow**:
1. Client provides their test-serper-mcp API key
2. Server uses client's API key to call test-serper-mcp API
3. No payment required
4. Client pays test-serper-mcp directly
### Mode 2: Payment Required (Paid Access)
Clients without an API key can pay-per-use via HTTP 402 protocol:
```bash
# Request with payment proof (x402/d402 protocol)
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/mcp \
-H "X-PAYMENT: <base64_encoded_x402_payment>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"example_tool","arguments":{"query":"test"}}}'
```
**Flow**:
1. Client makes initial request without payment
2. Server returns HTTP 402 with PaymentRequirements (token, network, amount)
3. Client creates EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization payment signature
4. Client base64-encodes payment and sends in X-PAYMENT header
5. Server verifies payment via traia_iatp.d402.mcp_middleware
6. Server uses its INTERNAL test-serper-mcp API key to call the API
7. Client receives result
### D402 Protocol Details
This server uses the **traia_iatp.d402** module for payment verification:
- **Payment Method**: EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization (gasless)
- **Supported Tokens**: USDC, TRAIA, or any ERC20 token
- **Default Price**: $0.001 per request (configurable via `DEFAULT_PRICE_USD`)
- **Networks**: Base Sepolia, Sepolia, Polygon, etc.
- **Facilitator**: d402.org (public) or custom facilitator
### Environment Variables for Payment Mode
```bash
# Required
TEST_SERPER_MCP_API_KEY=your_internal_test-serper-mcp_api_key # Server's API key (for payment mode)
SERVER_ADDRESS=0x1234567890123456789012345678901234567890 # Server's payment address
# Required for Settlement (Production)
MCP_OPERATOR_PRIVATE_KEY=0x1234... # Private key for signing settlement attestations
MCP_OPERATOR_ADDRESS=0x5678... # Operator's public address (for verification)
# Optional
D402_FACILITATOR_URL=https://facilitator.d402.net # Facilitator service URL
D402_FACILITATOR_API_KEY=your_key # For private facilitator
D402_TESTING_MODE=false # Set to 'true' for local testing without settlement
```
**Operator Keys**:
- **MCP_OPERATOR_PRIVATE_KEY**: Used to sign settlement attestations (proof of service completion)
- **MCP_OPERATOR_ADDRESS**: Public address corresponding to the private key
- Required for on-chain settlement via IATP Settlement Layer
- Can be the same as SERVER_ADDRESS or a separate operator key
**Note on Per-Endpoint Configuration**:
Each endpoint's payment requirements (token address, network, price) are embedded in the tool code.
They come from the endpoint configuration when the server is generated.
### How It Works
1. **Client Decision**:
- Has test-serper-mcp API key? → Mode 1 (Authenticated)
- No API key but willing to pay? → Mode 2 (Payment)
2. **Server Response**:
- Mode 1: Uses client's API key (free for client)
- Mode 2: Uses server's API key (client pays server)
3. **Business Model**:
- Mode 1: No revenue (passthrough)
- Mode 2: Revenue from pay-per-use (monetize server's API subscription)
## Development
### Testing the Server
1. Start the server locally
2. Run the health check: `python mcp_health_check.py`
3. Test individual tools using the CrewAI adapter
### Adding New Tools
To add new tools, edit `server.py` and:
1. Create API client functions for test-serper-mcp endpoints
2. Add `@mcp.tool()` decorated functions
3. Update this README with the new tools
4. Update `deployment_params.json` with the tool names in the capabilities array
