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.
