Litescrape tools (12, 1 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsbing_searchFreeGet Bing web search results.
call_toolwrite actionFreeRun a Litescrape tool found with find_tools. Pass its name and arguments matching its input schema; arguments may also take result_groups to keep only some top-level groups.
duckduckgo_searchFreeGet DuckDuckGo web search results.
find_toolsFreeFind the Litescrape tools for a task beyond the ones listed here: AI answers, maps details and reviews, app stores, retailers, real estate, jobs, social media, web pages and more. Describe the task in q to get the best matches first, or pass names to fetch specific tools. Each tool comes with its description and whether it works without an API key; best matches and named tools also carry their input schema. Run one with call_tool.
google_ai_modeFreeAsk Google AI Mode a question and return its generated answer (ordered text_blocks: paragraphs, headings, lists, tables, code) with the sources it cited (references). Set continuable to get a token for follow-up questions; image_url adds a picture to the prompt. Slow: answers are generated per request. Requires an API key.
google_ai_overviewFreeReturn only the AI Overview Google generates for a search (ai_overview with ordered text_blocks and cited references), or null when Google shows none. Accepts the google_search parameters. Requires an API key.
google_mapsFreeSearch Google Maps places, or get one place by ID.
google_reviewsFreeReturn the Google Maps reviews of one place (reviews with rating, snippet, author, date, likes, owner response, guided details and dining subratings) plus place_info. Identify the place by place_id or data_id from a google_maps result. Sort, filter by topic or text, and follow pagination.next_page_token for more. Requires an API key.
google_searchFreeGet Google search results, including the AI Overview and People also ask.
google_shoppingFreeSearch Google Shopping and return the product grid (shopping_results with title, price, source, rating, thumbnail), category blocks, sponsored listings and the refinement chips Google renders (filters). Price bounds, sale, shipping and small business refinements are mutually exclusive; sort_by combines with one of them. Requires an API key.
searchFreeSearch the web through Google and return ranked organic results (title, link, snippet) as JSON. Fast mode: no Knowledge Graph, ads or AI modules; use google_search for the full results page. Free without an API key (shares the google_search allowance).
web_fetchFreeRender one public web page in a fresh browser and return it as Markdown (default), HTML, plain text or a full-page PNG screenshot encoded as base64, with url, title, content and the status_code the site returned. Narrow the content with target_selector or remove_selector. Alpha. Requires an API key.

What the publisher says
From the Litescrape repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Litescrape MCP Server
Google Search, Bing, DuckDuckGo and Google Maps results for any MCP client, free and without an API key. Add a key for Google AI Mode, Google AI Overview, Google Shopping and Google Reviews, and to lift every limit.
Results come straight from the search engines' own pages as structured JSON, through the Litescrape API. Links are real destinations, never redirects, and nothing is cached: every call runs fresh.
Quick start
No account, no key, one line.
Claude Code
claude mcp add litescrape -- npx -y litescrape-mcp-serverCursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI and most other clients (mcp.json, claudedesktopconfig.json, or the client's MCP settings)
{
"mcpServers": {
"litescrape": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "litescrape-mcp-server"]
}
}
}VS Code
code --add-mcp '{"name":"litescrape","command":"npx","args":["-y","litescrape-mcp-server"]}'Codex CLI
codex mcp add litescrape -- npx -y litescrape-mcp-serverGemini CLI
gemini mcp add litescrape npx -y litescrape-mcp-serverRequires Node.js 20 or newer.
Hosted, nothing to install: clients that connect to remote servers can use https://mcp.litescrape.com/mcp instead. Same tools, same free allowance; send an API key as Authorization: Bearer lslive... to unlock the rest.
claude mcp add --transport http litescrape https://mcp.litescrape.com/mcpWhat you get without a key
One call runs at a time per network, and failed calls never count. When a limit is reached, the tool result says so and tells the model exactly how to add a key, so the agent can relay it to you.
Add an API key
A key unlocks googleaimode, googleaioverview, googleshopping and googlereviews, removes the daily limits and allows concurrent calls. Get one at litescrape.com, then set LITESCRAPEAPIKEY in the server's environment:
{
"mcpServers": {
"litescrape": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "litescrape-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"LITESCRAPE_API_KEY": "ls_live_..."
}
}
}
}With Claude Code: claude mcp add litescrape -e LITESCRAPEAPIKEY=lslive... -- npx -y litescrape-mcp-server
With the hosted endpoint: claude mcp add --transport http litescrape https://mcp.litescrape.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer lslive..."
