# MCP Google Custom Search Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides web search capabilities through Google's Custom Search API. This server enables Language Learning Models (LLMs) to perform web searches using a standardized interface.

## 🌟 Features

- Seamless integration with Google Custom Search API
- Model Context Protocol (MCP) compliant server implementation
- Type-safe implementation using TypeScript
- Environment variable configuration
- Input validation using Zod
- Configurable search results (up to 10 per query)
- Formatted search results including titles, URLs, and descriptions
- Error handling and validation
- Compatible with Claude Desktop and other MCP clients

1. A Google Cloud Project with Custom Search API enabled

- Visit [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com)
   - Enable the Custom Search API
   - Create API credentials

2. A Custom Search Engine ID

- Visit [Programmable Search Engine](https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/)
   - Create a new search engine
   - Get your Search Engine ID

3. Local development requirements:
   - Node.js (v18 or higher)
   - npm (comes with Node.js)

## 🚀 Quick Start

1. Clone the repository:

```bash
   git clone https://github.com/limklister/mcp-google-custom-search-server.git
   cd mcp-google-custom-search-server
   ```

2. Install dependencies:

```bash
   npm install
   ```

3. Create a .env file:

```bash
   GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-api-key
   GOOGLE_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID=your-search-engine-id
   ```

```bash
   npm run build
   ```

5. Start the server:
   ```bash
   npm start
