Real Google Search for your AI agent. No API key. Self-hosted. Over MCP.

Your agent calls google_search and gets Google's actual results page as typed JSON: every link resolved to its real URL, plus Google's answer boxes (sports results, top stories, videos), the AI Overview, People also ask and related searches. A real Firefox (Camoufox) runs Google's page as it is, on your own IP or through any proxy you already have.

Why: plain HTTP gets a JavaScript wall, automated Chrome got a CAPTCHA 2 out of 2 times in our test, and Google's official Custom Search API closes on 1 January 2027. Other search MCP servers either aren't Google's index (Brave, Tavily, Exa, DuckDuckGo) or charge per query (SerpApi, Bright Data).

A real, live call on a home IP with a warm session, rendered from the recorded result; the wait shown is the measured time. MP4

🚀 Quick start

uv tool install gsearch-agent                         # or: pipx install gsearch-agent
gsearch setup                                         # downloads the browser once (~1 GB), prints your MCP config
claude mcp add gsearch --scope user -- gsearch-mcp    # or any MCP client, below

Then just ask: "Search Google for what asyncio is and give me the top three links", "What do people also ask about asyncio?", "Find asyncio pages on python.org from the past year.", "Search for the asyncio docs and summarize the first result."

Without a proxy, gsearch uses your own IP, at most 20 searches an hour. For more, add a proxy in any format:

claude mcp add gsearch --scope user -e GSEARCH_PROXY="gate.example.com:7000:user-sid-{sid}:password" -e GSEARCH_DATA_LIMIT_MB=1000 -- gsearch-mcp

Claude Desktop, Cursor and other MCP clients

gsearch setup prints this block with the full path of gsearch-mcp filled in. Use the full path if your client doesn't find the command.
