What you can do with Google Search MCP
Use standard organic results for position-based research and Google AI Mode for generated answers with attached sources.
Retrieve live organic SERPs
Search any query and return organic positions, page titles, URLs, domains, snippets, highlighted terms, and sitelinks where Google displays them.
Inspect up to 100 results
Pull 10 to 100 organic results in one request, then ask the AI to identify ranking competitors, recurring page types, content patterns, and gaps.
Compare device and market results
Run the same query on desktop, mobile, or tablet and localize it by country and language to see how the visible competition changes.
Check a domain's current position
Find where a brand or page appears in a live result set and compare it with competitors. Each result is timestamped so the snapshot is clear.
Research with Google AI Mode
Ask complex questions and retrieve Google's generated response as structured JSON or formatted Markdown, with text blocks, lists, and source references.
Keep the supporting sources
Review reference links and supporting web results, plus local or shopping results when Google returns them, before turning the findings into a brief.
Use Google Search in your favorite AI.
Plus your whole marketing stack
One MCP connection brings live SERPs, Google AI Mode, analytics, reporting tools, and your preferred AI assistant into the same workflow.
