  • Free web search for AI agents. No API key required. Hosted MCP in active development.

  • Direct access to 60+ scraping and search tools. Extract structured data from Google (Search, Maps, Trends), Amazon, Airbnb, Social Media, and any web page directly into your AI agent.

  • Your agent needs the Google results page as it actually renders — organic and paid, the AI overview, maps, images, news, jobs and the finance panel — not a scraped guess. **What you can ask for** • "What does the SERP for this keyword look like in Germany, on mobile?" • "Does this query trigger an AI overview, and what does it say?" • "Who is advertising against our brand name?" • "Find local results and the map pack for this phrase." • "Search Google by this image and tell me where else it appears." **How to use it** Point any MCP client at https://mcp.aisa.one/seo-serp/mcp and sign in with OAuth — there is no key to create or paste. 38 tools across Google's surfaces: organic, ads and advertisers, AI mode, autocomplete, images, news, maps and local, events, jobs, datasets, scholar, finance quotes and markets, plus Semrush's organic and paid result sets. **Why this rather than the source** Location and language are parameters, so you can read the page a customer in another country sees. **It is also a door to the rest** The same login reaches 26 sources and 580+ operations. Read the SERP here, then ask the same agent who links to the winner or how much traffic they get — without adding a second server. **What it costs** Finding and inspecting an operation is free. Running one is billed per call at API prices, with no seat and no monthly minimum, and every call takes max_price_usd so an agent cannot overspend by accident. **Where else it reaches** https://mcp.aisa.one/seo-serp-other-engines/mcp for Bing, Yahoo, Baidu, Naver, Seznam and YouTube. https://mcp.aisa.one/seo/mcp for all of it at once — rankings, keywords, backlinks, site health and AI-answer visibility across DataForSEO, Semrush and Ahrefs.
