Gemini DeepSearch MCP

Gemini DeepSearch MCP is an automated research agent that leverages Google Gemini models and Google Search to perform deep, multi-step web research. It generates sophisticated queries, synthesizes information from search results, identifies knowledge gaps, and produces high-quality, citation-rich answers.

Features

Automated multi-step research using Gemini models and Google Search
FastMCP integration for both HTTP API and stdio deployment
Configurable effort levels (low, medium, high) for research depth
Citation-rich responses with source tracking
LangGraph-powered workflow with state management

Usage

Development Server (HTTP + Studio UI)

Start the LangGraph development server with Studio UI:

make dev

Local MCP Server (stdio)

Start the MCP server with stdio transport for integration with MCP clients:

make local

Testing

Run the test suite:

make test

Test the MCP stdio server:

make test_mcp

Use MCP inspector

make inspect

With Langsmith tracing

GEMINI_API_KEY=AI******* LANGSMITH_API_KEY=ls******* LANGSMITH_TRACING=true make inspect

API

The deep_search tool accepts:

query (string): The research question or topic to investigate
effort (string): Research effort level - "low", "medium", or "high"
- Low: 1 query, 1 loop, Flash model
- Medium: 3 queries, 2 loops, Flash model
- High: 5 queries, 3 loops, Pro model

Returns:

answer: Comprehensive research response with citations
sources: List of source URLs used in research

Requirements

Python 3.12+
GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable

Installation

Install directly using uvx:

uvx install gemini-deepsearch-mcp

Claude Desktop Integration

To use the MCP server with Claude Desktop, add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:

macOS

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gemini-deepsearch": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["gemini-deepsearch-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GEMINI_API_KEY": "your-gemini-api-key-here"
      },
      "timeout": 180000
    }
  }
}

Windows

Edit %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gemini-deepsearch": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["gemini-deepsearch-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GEMINI_API_KEY": "your-gemini-api-key-here"
      },
      "timeout": 180000
    }
  }
}

Linux

Edit ~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gemini-deepsearch": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["gemini-deepsearch-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GEMINI_API_KEY": "your-gemini-api-key-here"
      },
      "timeout": 180000
    }
  }
}

Important:

Replace your-gemini-api-key-here with your actual Gemini API key
Restart Claude Desktop after updating the configuration
Set ample timeout to avoid MCP error -32001: Request timed out

Alternative: Local Development Setup

For development or if you prefer to run from source:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gemini-deepsearch": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "python", "main.py"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/gemini-deepsearch-mcp",
      "env": {
        "GEMINI_API_KEY": "your-gemini-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace /path/to/gemini-deepsearch-mcp with the actual absolute path to your project directory.

Once configured, you can use the deep_search tool in Claude Desktop by asking questions like:

"Use deep_search to research the latest developments in quantum computing"
"Search for information about renewable energy trends with high effort"

Agent Source

The deep search agent is from the Gemini Fullstack LangGraph Quickstart repository.
