G-Search MCP

A powerful MCP server for Google search that enables parallel searching with multiple keywords simultaneously.

This project is modified from google-search.

Advantages

  • Parallel Searching: Supports searching with multiple keywords on Google simultaneously, improving search efficiency
  • Browser Optimization: Opens multiple tabs in a single browser instance for efficient parallel searching
  • Automatic Verification Handling: Intelligently detects CAPTCHA and enables visible browser mode for user verification when needed
  • User Behavior Simulation: Simulates real user browsing patterns to reduce the possibility of detection by search engines
  • Structured Data: Returns structured search results in JSON format for easy processing and analysis
  • Configurable Parameters: Supports various parameter configurations such as search result limits, timeout settings, locale settings, etc.

Quick Start

Run directly with npx:

npx -y g-search-mcp

First time setup - install the required browser by running the following command in your terminal:

npx playwright install chromium

Debug Mode

Use the --debug option to run in debug mode (showing browser window):

npx -y g-search-mcp --debug

Configure MCP

Configure this MCP server in Claude Desktop:

MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "g-search": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "g-search-mcp"] } } }

Features

  • search - Execute Google searches with multiple keywords and return results
    • Uses Playwright browser to perform searches
    • Supports the following parameters:
      • queries: Array of search queries to execute (required parameter)
      • limit: Maximum number of results to return per query, default is 10
      • timeout: Page loading timeout in milliseconds, default is 60000 (60 seconds)
      • noSaveState: Whether to avoid saving browser state, default is false
      • locale: Locale setting for search results, default is en-US
      • debug: Whether to enable debug mode (showing browser window), overrides the --debug flag in command line

Example usage:

Use the search tool to search for "machine learning" and "artificial intelligence" on Google

Example response:

{ "searches": [ { "query": "machine learning", "results": [ { "title": "What is Machine Learning? | IBM", "link": "https://www.ibm.com/topics/machine-learning", "snippet": "Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science which focuses on the use of data and algorithms to imitate the way that humans learn, gradually improving its accuracy." }, ... ] }, { "query": "artificial intelligence", "results": [ { "title": "What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)? | IBM", "link": "https://www.ibm.com/topics/artificial-intelligence", "snippet": "Artificial intelligence leverages computers and machines to mimic the problem-solving and decision-making capabilities of the human mind." }, ... ] } ] }

Usage Tips

Handling Special Website Scenarios

Adjusting Search Parameters

  • Search Result Quantity: For more search results:
    Please return the top 20 search results for each keyword
    This will set the limit: 20 parameter.
  • Increase Timeout Duration: For slow loading situations:
    Please set the page loading timeout to 120 seconds
    This will adjust the timeout parameter to 120000 milliseconds.

Locale Settings Adjustment

  • Change Search Region: Specify a different locale setting:
    Please use Chinese locale (zh-CN) for searching
    This will set the locale: "zh-CN" parameter.

Debugging and Troubleshooting

Enable Debug Mode

  • Dynamic Debug Activation: To display the browser window during a specific search operation:
    Please enable debug mode for this search operation
    This sets debug: true even if the server was started without the --debug flag.
