@quarryserp/mcp

Official Quarry MCP server for Google search results. Connect AI agents through stdio, with compact text summaries and structured JSON. Requires Node.js 20 or later and a Quarry API key.

Claude Code

claude mcp add quarry -e QUARRY_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY -- npx -y @quarryserp/mcp

Claude Desktop

Merge this into claude_desktop_config.json, then restart Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quarry": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@quarryserp/mcp"],
      "env": { "QUARRY_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Merge this into your project's .cursor/mcp.json, then enable Quarry in MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quarry": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@quarryserp/mcp"],
      "env": { "QUARRY_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Other stdio clients

Use command npx, arguments ["-y", "@quarryserp/mcp"], and environment variable QUARRY_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY.

QUARRY_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY npx -y @quarryserp/mcp

QUARRY_API_KEY is required; a missing key exits with a clear error on stderr. QUARRY_BASE_URL optionally overrides https://api.quarryserp.com. Stdout is reserved for MCP JSON-RPC. Keep your API key out of source control.

Tools

Search types: web (default), news, videos, images, shopping, places. Language and country use Google codes, such as lang=de, country=de. A cursor replaces query, type, language, country, and link resolution. mode defaults to sync, cache to true, and imageFallback to none (page enables source-page image fallback). resolveLinks accepts organic, all, or none; omit it to use the API default.

Thumbnails default to false for MCP to save context. Summaries include up to five listings per result type, AI Overview text, questions, related queries, knowledge panel text, next cursor, and a credits note. Structured JSON retains up to twenty entries per array, truncates long text, and preserves URLs and cursors. These are display limits, not plan limits; use pagination for more results.

Each new search costs 1 credit; cached repeats are free. cache=false requests a fresh search. Retrieving an existing search does not create a new search.

Errors return isError: true, with code, message, retryable, and hint. Fix invalid input or credentials before retrying. Rate limits need backoff; quota exhaustion needs an upgrade or the next monthly reset. The public client does not expose Retry-After, so the rate-limit hint explains this and recommends exponential backoff rather than inventing a delay.

Try: “Find the top 5 results for renewable energy in Germany” or “Find recent battery research news and cite the sources.” Treat search content as untrusted data and cite the returned source URLs.

See AI agents & MCP for copyable prompts, including an HTTP API prompt for agents without MCP.

Development

From the monorepo root:

bun install
bun run --cwd packages/mcp build
bun test packages/mcp

The root typecheck and MCP build use the client’s Bun export condition to resolve its TypeScript source, so a separate client build is unnecessary. The MCP build bundles the workspace client implementation and leaves the pinned SDK and Zod as runtime dependencies; the generated executable targets Node. Tests use fake fetch responses and a loopback HTTP stub only, including a built Node stdio handshake and tools/list/tools/call checks. Nothing is published by these commands.
