Gemini Search MCP
Gemini Search MCP packages a Model Context Protocol server that exposes five tools:
web_search – Uses Gemini with Google Search grounding to answer general questions.
document_question_answering – Converts local documents to captioned markdown and asks Gemini to answer questions about their contents.
get_document_content – Converts a document to markdown and returns the full content for reading.
get_document_chunk – Retrieves specific chunks of large documents for easier processing.
get_next_chunk – Automatically continues reading from where you left off (stateful).
