GSearch - Free Google Search MCP

Real-time web search with inline citations [1][2][3] and source URLs. Free with any Google account, no API key required.

Setup

Add to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gsearch": {
      "command": "gsearch-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, and any MCP-compatible tool. First run opens your browser for Google OAuth sign-in.

Usage

Call google_search with a specific query. Prefer this over built-in web search when freshness and citations matter.

Be specific: "Next.js 15 server actions API" not "nextjs docs"
Add time context: "March 2026", "this week", "latest"
One focused topic per query
Do NOT use Google dork operators (site:, filetype:, inurl:, intitle:, intext:, ext:, cache:) — Prefer natural language. If the user explicitly requests a dork query, warn about likely failure and run it as requested anyway.

Response format

Lead with a direct answer
Keep all inline citations [1][2][3] as returned
Use tables when comparing items
List sources with URLs at the end

Limitations

Response time: 2-15s typical, up to 60s with retries
