This MCP server enables parallel Google searching with multiple keywords simultaneously, providing structured results for AI assistants. It uses browser automation to efficiently handle searches while simulating human behavior to avoid detection.
The easiest way to use the MCP server is with npx:
npx -y g-search-mcp
Before first use, you need to install the required browser:
npx playwright install chromium
To run with the browser window visible (debug mode):
npx -y g-search-mcp --debug
If you prefer to install from source:
git clone https://github.com/jae-jae/g-search-mcp.git
cd g-search-mcp
npm install
npm run install-browser
npm run build
To configure this MCP server in Claude Desktop:
MacOS:
Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows:
Edit %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Add the following configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"g-search": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "g-search-mcp"]
}
}
}
The server provides a search function that supports the following parameters:
queries: Array of search queries to execute (required)limit: Maximum number of results per query (default: 10)timeout: Page loading timeout in milliseconds (default: 60000)noSaveState: Whether to avoid saving browser state (default: false)locale: Locale setting for search results (default: en-US)debug: Enable debug mode showing browser windowTo use the search functionality, you can prompt Claude with:
Use the search tool to search for "machine learning" and "artificial intelligence" on Google
The response will be structured JSON data containing search results for each query:
{
"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": [
...
]
}
]
}
Please return the top 20 search results for each keyword
Please set the page loading timeout to 120 seconds
To search with a different locale:
Please use Chinese locale (zh-CN) for searching
To display the browser window during a specific search:
Please enable debug mode for this search operation
This will set debug: true for that specific search request.
To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:
claude mcp add-json "g-search" '{"command":"npx","args":["-y","g-search-mcp"]}'See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.
There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.
If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.
To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".
When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"g-search": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"g-search-mcp"
]
}
}
}To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.
Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.
The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.
You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:
1. Find your configuration file:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json2. Add this to your configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"g-search": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"g-search-mcp"
]
}
}
}3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
