Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Google Search MCP Server (SERP)
A hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives Claude, Cursor, Windsurf and any other MCP client eight read-only Google Search tools. Pull the live SERP with its AI Overview and People Also Ask, run a Google AI Mode query, and read news, shopping, product detail and short-video results, all as structured JSON, with no Google Cloud project and no search-engine setup.

"SERP" and "Google Search" are the same product here. This server returns Google search-engine results pages, parsed.

What you need
An MCP client that speaks streamable HTTP with custom headers. A HasData API key from the dashboard, free to create with no card, and the trial covers about 100 to 200 calls depending on the tool. Nothing else. This is a remote server, so the simplest path is a URL and a header, with no Google Cloud project or Programmable Search Engine to set up. A stdio-only client can use the @hasdata/google-search-mcp (npm) or hasdata-google-search-mcp (PyPI) launcher instead.
Quick start
URL |
|
Transport | HTTP, streamable |
Auth header |
|
The server URL is the same for every client. We run it hands-on in Claude Code and Claude Desktop. The other blocks follow each client's own documented format for a remote server.
Clients with OAuth support can add the same URL as a connector and sign in without putting a key in a config file.
claude mcp add --transport http google-search "https://mcp.hasdata.com/api/mcp?apis=google_serp" \
--header "x-api-key: HASDATA_API_KEY"Claude Desktop loads only local (stdio) servers from its config file, so it reaches a remote server through a stdio launcher. The @hasdata/google-search-mcp package is that launcher, and it reads the key from the environment.
claude_desktop_config.json:
{

"google-search": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@hasdata/google-search-mcp"],

}
}
}Python instead of Node? Swap the launcher for the PyPI package, which uvx runs without a manual install:

"mcpServers": {
"google-search": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["hasdata-google-search-mcp"],
"env": { "HASDATA_API_KEY": "YOUR_KEY" }
}
}
}A client with OAuth support can instead add the URL as a custom connector and skip the launcher.

}Example prompts
Search Google for
best running shoesand give me the organic top ten plus the AI Overview.
One call, 10 credits. The SERP response carries the AI Overview inline alongside the organic results.
For the same query, take each People Also Ask question and pull its AI Overview answer with sources.
One call per question, 5 credits each. Each relatedQuestions entry holds an aiOverview.pageToken, and the AI Overview tool turns that token into the answer blocks and their references.
Ask Google AI Mode
what is the Model Context Protocoland give me the answer with its citations.
One call, 10 credits. AI Mode returns the generated answer as text blocks with a reference list.
Search Google Shopping for
nike air max, then pull the full product card for the top result: every store selling it, the price range and the review breakdown.
Two calls. Shopping is 10 credits and returns a token per product, and the immersive product tool spends 5 to expand that token into stores, variants and reviews.
Get the latest Google News for
artificial intelligence, and separately the short-video results forcooking pasta.
Two calls, 10 credits each.
The workflow leans on two chains. A SERP response hands back an aiOverview inline and a pageToken on every People Also Ask question, so extracting Google's generative answers is either free with the search or one 5-credit follow-up per question. A shopping result likewise hands back a token per product, so the jump from a listing to its full multi-store card is a single call.
Tools
Eight tools, all read-only. Samples below are trimmed from real calls, and the results in them change as Google changes, so read them as shapes. Each tool name links to its endpoint reference.
The samples are the payload, not the whole response. A tools/call result carries one text block, and that text is itself JSON holding url, status, text and json, with the scraped data under json. From a raw JSON-RPC response the path is result.content[0].text, parsed, then .json. A chat client unwraps that for you and code talking to the endpoint directly does not.
Google SERP
hasdata_google_serp_serp_getSearchResults
The full results page for a query.
Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
| string | yes | The search query, exactly as a user would type it |
| string | Two-letter country and language codes | |
| string | Geographic location for the search, by name or as a | |
| number | Approximate results per page. Google now caps a page at about ten and ignores anything higher, so | |
| number | Result offset for paging | |
| string | Search type and advanced filters, the raw Google parameters | |
| string |
|
Returns searchInformation, organicResults, aiOverview, relatedQuestions, relatedSearches, perspectives, immersiveProducts and pagination, with whichever blocks Google shows for the query. Organic entries carry position, title, link, displayedLink, source, snippet, snippetHighlitedWords, date and images.
The AI Overview arrives two ways. Usually
aiOverviewis inline, withtextBlocksandreferencesyou can read straight away. Sometimes Google gates it behind a token, and thenaiOverviewcarries apageTokenand ahasdataLinkinstead of the blocks. EveryrelatedQuestionsentry is that second case too. It holds aquestionand anaiOverviewwith the samepageTokenandhasdataLink, which the AI Overview tool below expands. So the People Also Ask answers are AI Overviews you fetch one token at a time. The top-levelaiOverviewis inline on most queries and a token on a few, so read it both ways.

}Google AI Overview
hasdata_google_serp_ai_overview_getAiOverviewResponse
Expands an AI Overview token into its answer.
Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
| string | yes | An |
Returns aiOverview with textBlocks and references. This is how you read the AI Overview when the SERP handed you a token rather than the blocks, and how you turn each People Also Ask question into a cited answer.
Tokens are valid for about 4 minutes. A stale one does not come back empty, it fails as a tool error,
isError: truewith the textHasData API error: 400 Bad Request. Catch it the way you catch a wrong key, and re-run the SERP for a fresh token.

Google News
hasdata_google_serp_news_getGoogleNews
The Google News results for a query or a news section.
Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
| string | A query. Omit it to read a section instead | |
| string | Country and language codes | |

Errors and failure paths
Your client almost never sees an HTTP error code from a tool call. The MCP layer answers 200 and puts the failure inside the result, with isError set to true and the reason as text. The agent reads a message where you might expect a status line.
A wrong key surfaces as tool output, not as a failed connection. Listing tools accepts any non-empty key, and the client completes its handshake and shows green. The first tool call then comes back with isError: true and the text HasData API error: 401 Unauthorized. Watch for that string, because nothing earlier in the flow reports the problem.
The one real HTTP error is a missing key. Authorization runs before any tool, and the connection itself fails with 401.
An argument that breaks the schema is rejected before it becomes a search. A search with no q comes back with isError: true and the text MCP error -32602: Input validation error, naming the field. Nothing is fetched and nothing is charged.
A stale AI Overview token fails as an error. A SERP response token is valid for about 4 minutes. Expanding one you stored earlier comes back with isError: true and the text HasData API error: 400 Bad Request, the same shape as a wrong key. Catch it and re-run the SERP to get a fresh token.
A block Google did not show is absent, not empty. A query with no AI Overview, no shopping pane or no People Also Ask returns a response without those keys rather than with empty ones. Test for the key before reading it.
Results that carry data also carry a requestMetadata.id worth quoting in support, plus html and json links to the stored artifact of that exact call.
Pricing, free tier and limits
Credits are per tool. The full SERP, AI Mode, News, Shopping and short videos cost 10 credits a call. SERP Light, immersive product and the AI Overview tool are 5. The AI Overview that comes inline with a SERP response is free, part of that 10-credit call, but expanding a token with the AI Overview tool, including every People Also Ask token, is a separate 5-credit call. Response size does not change the price.
The free trial is 1,000 credits over 30 days with no card, which is 100 full-SERP calls or 200 of the 5-credit calls. After that an active account keeps getting 100 credits topped up each day whenever its balance drops below 100, so a low-volume agent runs on the free tier indefinitely.
Paid plans start at $49 a month for 200,000 credits. The price per credit falls with volume, and current numbers live on the pricing page.
Your plan also sets concurrency. The free trial allows 1 request at a time, Startup 15, Business 30, Growth 50, and the high-volume plans run from 200 to 1,500. Concurrency is the only throttle. There is no separate requests-per-minute cap. Handle the overflow case defensively in anything unattended, because an agent that fans out across queries will reach the ceiling before you do.
Tool selection
?apis=google_serp exposes these eight tools. The parameter takes a list, and ?apis=google_serp,google_maps adds the Google Maps tools alongside search. Drop the parameter and you get everything HasData exposes, which is currently 57 tools.
A narrow list is usually the better default. A model choosing among eight tools picks correctly more often than one choosing among fifty-seven, and the tool descriptions themselves cost context on every turn.
How it compares
Google no longer offers a general search API. The official route is the Custom Search JSON API, and it answers a different question from this one.
The Custom Search JSON API searches a Programmable Search Engine you configure, over the sites you list or the whole-web index if you switch it on. It is capped at 100 free queries a day and then charges per thousand up to a daily ceiling, and it returns a stripped result set. It does not return the AI Overview, People Also Ask, the local pack, shopping, news or short videos, because those are features of the live results page rather than of the API. It is the right tool when you want to search your own site or a fixed set of sites and stay inside Google's official terms for that.
This server returns the live Google results page as a visitor sees it, parsed. There is nothing to configure, the query runs against all of Google rather than a curated engine, and the AI Overview, People Also Ask, shopping and the rest come back as structured blocks.
Custom Search JSON API | This server | |
What it searches | A Programmable Search Engine you configure | The live Google results page |
Setup | A Cloud project and a search engine | One API key |
AI Overview and People Also Ask | Not returned | Inline, or by token |
Shopping, news, short videos, local | Not returned | Dedicated tools |
Free tier | 100 queries a day | 1,000 credits over 30 days, then a daily top-up |
Two rows decide it. If you only need to search your own sites and want Google's official API for that, the Custom Search JSON API is the fit. If you need the real SERP, its AI Overview, or any of the panes Google shows a searcher, the official API does not return them and this does.
What this server does not do. No crawling of the pages behind the results, no ranking history, and nothing that writes. It returns the parsed results page.
FAQ
What is a Google Search MCP server?
A server that exposes Google search results as tools an AI client can call. The client sends a tool call over the Model Context Protocol, the server fetches the results page and returns structured JSON, and the model works with the result and never sees a page of HTML. This one exposes eight read-only tools and runs remotely, so the client connects to a URL and starts no local process.
Is SERP the same as Google Search here?
Yes. A SERP is a search-engine results page. These tools return Google's results pages, so "SERP API" and "Google Search API" mean the same thing in this repo.
Is there an official Google Search MCP server?
Google publishes no MCP server and no general search API. The closest official product is the Custom Search JSON API, which searches a Programmable Search Engine you configure. Several community MCP servers, this one among them, return the live results page instead.
How do I get the AI Overview?
Run a SERP call. The aiOverview is usually inline with its textBlocks and references. When it comes back as a pageToken instead, and on every People Also Ask question, pass that token to the AI Overview tool to get the answer. Tokens expire quickly, so expand them from a fresh call.
Do I need a Google Cloud project or a Programmable Search Engine?
No. The only credential is your HasData key. Nothing to create in Google Cloud, and no per-API quota to manage.
Does the API key expire?
No. The key does not expire. Rotate it in the dashboard whenever you need to.
Is the data live or cached?
Live. Each call fetches the results page at request time and carries its own requestMetadata.id. Two identical calls are two separate fetches and not a replay of a stored copy.
Is this affiliated with Google?
No. HasData is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google. Google is a trademark of its respective owner. The tools work with publicly available data only, and you are responsible for using the results in line with Google's terms and the law that applies to you.

Development
This repository is configuration and documentation for a remote server. There is no build step and nothing to containerize.
It does carry a contract test. The README documents eight tools with specific parameters, and the upstream tool list can change without a commit here, which would leave this file quietly lying to you. The test asserts the documented tools exist with the parameters claimed, and runs weekly in CI as well as on every push.
HASDATA_API_KEY=your_key_here npm testOn PowerShell:
$env:HASDATA_API_KEY = "your_key_here"; npm testThe last check makes a real search and costs 10 credits, which is the price of a canary that can fail for the right reason. Listing tools succeeds with any non-empty key, so a test that only lists tools stays green with a revoked one.
Contributing
Corrections to the tool tables and the response samples are the most useful contribution, because those are the parts that drift. Include the call you made and the response you got. Pull requests from forks run the suite without a key, and the live checks skip instead of going red.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description carries the full burden. It transparently lists the response components (conversational text, cited links, subtopic breakdowns, follow-up suggestions, subsequentRequestToken) and mentions multi-turn continuation via the token. It implies a read-only GET operation, which is reasonable for a SERP tool. However, it does not disclose potential rate limits, authentication requirements, or error behavior, which would be expected from a tool with no annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, well-structured paragraph that starts with the core purpose, then details return fields, and ends with use cases and examples. It is informative but not overly verbose—the examples serve a practical purpose. It earns its place by providing both high-level intent and concrete invocation examples, though it could be slightly tightened without losing value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and no annotations, the description compensates by enumerating the expected response fields (conversational text, cited source links, subtopic breakdowns, follow-up suggestions, subsequentRequestToken) and giving example queries. It does not cover every parameter's nuances or error handling, but it gives an agent enough context to decide when to use the tool and what to expect. The lack of an output schema but clear return list supports a 4.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The tool description does not add detailed parameter semantics beyond the schema, but it does provide example queries for 'q' (e.g., 'Who is the CEO of HasData?') and indirectly references 'subsequentRequestToken' and 'continuable' via the 'multi-turn continuation' phrase. This adds some value, but it does not fully compensate for the schema's already-complete coverage, so a 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a clear verb+resource ('Get AI Mode SERP Results') and elaborates on what it captures ('Gemini-powered AI Mode answers from Google Search') and what it returns (conversational text, source links, subtopic breakdowns, follow-up suggestions, subsequentRequestToken). This distinguishes it from siblings like ai_overview_getAiOverviewResponse by emphasizing 'AI Mode' and 'Gemini-powered', making the tool's niche unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit use cases such as 'AI-answer monitoring', 'citation tracking', 'content research agents', and 'person/company data enrichment', with concrete example queries. While it does not list alternative sibling tools or explicitly state when not to use it, the context is clear enough for an agent to infer appropriate usage. The absence of exclusions lowers it slightly from a 5.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
hasdata_google_serp_ai_overview_getAiOverviewResponsegoogle_serp_ai_overview: GET /AInspect
Get AI Overview Results
Fetches the lazy-loaded Google AI Overview block via a pageToken returned by the Google SERP API (token valid for 4 minutes). Returns the AI-generated answer text, referenced source URLs, and expanded subtopic sections. Use as a follow-up call to Google SERP for tracking AI citations in SEO, fact-checking answers against sources, and LLM retrieval pipelines grounded in live Google results.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| pageToken | Yes | Token from `aiOverview` block in Google SERP API. Valid for 4 minutes. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does mention the token's 4-minute validity and that the content is lazy-loaded, which adds useful context. However, it does not explicitly state that the operation is read-only or that it has no side effects, nor does it address error handling for expired tokens. The 'fetches' verb implies a GET, but for a tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a moderate gap, earning a 3.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the purpose and then provides necessary detail. It is about three sentences long and each sentence adds value—how it works, what it returns, and when to use it. The use-case list is slightly verbose but still relevant for agent decision-making. It earns a 4 for being well-structured without unnecessary fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with one parameter, the description covers the essential context: the source of the token, its validity, the output contents, and typical use cases. It does not explain error behavior or pagination, but given the low complexity and absence of an output schema, it is sufficiently complete for an agent to call it correctly. A score of 4 reflects this adequacy.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema covers the only parameter (pageToken) with a description that already states its origin and validity. The tool description repeats this information without adding new meaning or providing additional guidance on how to obtain or handle the token. With schema description coverage at 100%, the baseline is 3, and the description does not exceed it.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('fetches') and resource ('lazy-loaded Google AI Overview block'), and clearly distinguishes this from sibling tools by focusing on the follow-up nature. It explicitly states what it returns (AI-generated answer text, referenced source URLs, expanded subtopic sections), so an agent can understand its unique purpose without ambiguity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description clearly states 'Use as a follow-up call to Google SERP', which gives a clear context for when to invoke it. It does not explicitly name alternatives or provide exclusions, but it makes the usage pattern (follow-up after obtaining a pageToken) explicit enough to differentiate from initial search calls. A score of 5 would require explicit alternatives, so 4 is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
hasdata_google_serp_events_getEventInformationgoogle_serp_events: GET /AInspect
Get Google Events Results
Scrapes the Google Events vertical for a query plus location (or uule) with date filters (today, tomorrow, this/next week, weekend, this/next month), virtual-event toggle, domain/country/language targeting, and pagination. Returns event title, start date/time, venue name and address, ticket/source links, description, and thumbnail. Use for event-discovery chatbots, local aggregators, calendar sync, competitive monitoring of event listings, and pulling upcoming shows/conferences for a region.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | Yes | Specify the search term for which you want to scrape the SERP. | |
| gl | No | The two-letter country code for the country you want to limit the search to. Provide one exact documented value (245 allowed), e.g. `ac`, `af`. | |
| hl | No | The two-letter language code for the language you want to use for the search. Provide one exact documented value (159 allowed), e.g. `af`, `ak`. | |
| uule | No | The encoded location parameter. | |
| start | No | This parameter specifies the number of search results to skip and is used for implementing pagination. For example, a value of 0 (default) indicates the first page of results, 10 refers to the second page, and 20 to the third page. | |
| domain | No | Google domain to use. Default is google.com. Provide one exact documented value (195 allowed), e.g. `google.ac`, `google.ad`. | |

| location | No | Google canonical location for the search. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions pagination and the types of data returned (event title, date/time, venue, links), implying a read-only scraping operation. However, it does not explicitly state that the operation is non‑destructive, nor does it cover error behavior, rate limits, or authentication requirements. The disclosed behavior is sufficient for basic understanding but lacks depth.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is structured with a clear opening statement followed by a detailed list of capabilities and use cases. It is front-loaded with the core purpose and efficiently conveys the tool's scope. The use case list adds value without being overly verbose, though a slightly tighter structure could improve conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 8 parameters and no output schema, the description is quite complete. It explains the purpose, the parameters in a summarized way, the return fields, and the intended use cases. It lacks explicit notes on limitations (e.g., rate limits, authentication) but covers the essential information an agent needs to decide when to use the tool and what to expect. The presence of a comprehensive parameter schema also contributes to completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so all parameters are already well documented in the input schema. The description adds context by grouping parameters (e.g., date filters, virtual-event toggle) but does not introduce meaning beyond what the schema provides. It reinforces the purpose of the htichips parameter but does not compensate for any missing parameter details. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool scrapes the Google Events vertical for a query and location, listing specific filters and return fields. It explicitly names the resource (Google Events results) and distinguishes from siblings by focusing on events. The title reinforces the purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit use cases such as event-discovery chatbots, local aggregators, calendar sync, and competitive monitoring, giving clear context for when to use this tool. It does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use it, but the strong focus on events implicitly distinguishes it from sibling tools like general SERP or shopping searches.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
hasdata_google_serp_immersive_product_getImmersive_e29f691177google_serp_immersive_product: GET /AInspect
Get Immersive Product Information
Expands the Google Shopping Immersive Product pop-up given an immersiveProductPageToken from the Google Shopping API, with optional moreStores (up to ~13 merchants instead of 3–5) and nextPageToken for paginating stores. Returns multi-store offers (merchant, price, shipping, condition, URL), product specs, images, ratings, and the nextPageToken. Use for price-comparison bots, merchant discovery, dropshipping research, and aggregating full offer lists per product.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| pageToken | Yes | Token for displaying more product info in the Google immersive pop-up, available in the Google Shopping API response as the `immersiveProductPageToken` property. | |
| moreStores | No | Fetch additional store results in a single search. By default it returns 3–5 stores, and when true it returns up to 13 or the maximum available for the product. | |
| nextPageToken | No | Token used to retrieve the next page of store results. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses what is returned (offers, specs, images, ratings, nextPageToken) and the moreStores expansion behavior, which is useful. However, it does not mention pagination mechanics, error cases, response size, or any limits, leaving behavioral gaps for a tool with zero annotation coverage.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single information-dense paragraph that front-loads the core action and parameter semantics. No wasted sentences, though it packs many return fields into one long clause that could be lightly restructured for scanability.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no output schema and no annotations, the description lists the return content and parameter behavior, covering the essential call context. It is reasonably complete for a read-style tool, though it omits error handling and prerequisite clarification beyond the token requirement.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, which sets a baseline of 3, but the description adds real value on top: it quantifies moreStores ('up to ~13 merchants instead of 3-5') and explains nextPageToken's role in paginating stores. This enriches the schema's terse definitions meaningfully.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description names a specific verb ('Expands the Google Shopping Immersive Product pop-up') and resource, clearly distinct from the siblings (search results, AI mode, events, news). An agent can tell this tool apart immediately because it is the only one tied to the immersiveProductPageToken pop-up expansion.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Lists concrete use cases ('price-comparison bots, merchant discovery, dropshipping research, aggregating full offer lists'), giving clear context on when to call it. It stops short of explicit exclusions or 'when not to use' routing to alternatives, which would make it fully complete.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
hasdata_google_serp_news_getGoogleNewsgoogle_serp_news: GET /AInspect
Get Google News Results
Retrieves Google News results by free-text query, topicToken (World, Business, Technology, etc.), sectionToken, publicationToken (e.g. CNN, BBC), or storyToken (full-coverage cluster with sort by relevance/date).

| sectionToken | No | Token for a sub-section under a topic, for example Business → Economy. Use only when `topicToken` or `publicationToken` is present. | |
| publicationToken | No | Token for a specific publisher such as CNN or BBC. Not allowed with `q`, `storyToken`, or `topicToken`. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are absent, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses the return payload (article title, snippet, source publisher, published date, thumbnail, URL) and navigation tokens, but does not explicitly state it is a read-only operation, nor mention pagination or rate limits. Adequate but incomplete.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with 'Get Google News Results' and then concisely explains query modes and return fields. It is well-structured and free of fluff, though slightly long due to the enumeration of use cases.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 8 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description covers the primary use cases and token navigation, but omits pagination, error handling, and explicit read-only behavior. It is sufficient for basic usage but leaves gaps for deeper agent planning.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% and each parameter has a detailed description. The description adds a summary of token usage and examples (e.g., World, Business, CNN, BBC), but largely restates schema info. It does not significantly deepen parameter understanding beyond what the schema already provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States the specific verb 'Get' and resource 'Google News Results', then elaborates on the many query modes (free-text, topicToken, sectionToken, publicationToken, storyToken) and the return fields. This clearly distinguishes it from siblings like shopping, product, and general SERP tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly lists use cases (news monitoring, brand/PR tracking, topical aggregators, publisher-specific feeds, story coverage) and explains when to use each token type. It does not explicitly exclude alternatives, but the domain-specific purpose makes the appropriate context clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It describes what it does and what it returns (depending on searchType) but does not mention error conditions, rate limits, authentication needs, or any side effects. It is a GET operation, but lacks disclosure of potential limitations or response formats beyond the stated content.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is reasonably concise, starting with a redundant header line but then providing useful details. It is structured into purpose, output, and use cases. The first sentence is slightly redundant with the title, but the rest is efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 9 parameters and no output schema, the description explains return content well ('product title, images, price, ratings, specs, merchant offers... review text'). It does not mention pagination nuances beyond what the schema covers, but is generally complete for an agent to invoke correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description mentions searchType and filters, but the schema already describes the filter parameter in detail. The description adds context about use cases but does not significantly enhance parameter understanding beyond what the schema already provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb ('Pulls') and resource ('product data from Google Shopping'), and explicitly differentiates by productId and searchType. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like shopping search or AI mode by focusing on product-level details.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit use cases ('price intelligence, catalog enrichment, review mining, competitor spec comparison, building shopping assistants'). It does not explicitly mention when not to use it or name alternative tools, but the use cases imply the appropriate context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It clearly states what the tool returns (organic results, ads, knowledge graph, related searches, People Also Ask, local pack, featured snippets, AI Overview pageToken) and examples of query patterns. It does not mention rate limits, error handling, or side effects, but for a read-only search scraper it is sufficiently transparent about its behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is long but dense, front-loaded with the core purpose and then expanding into features and use cases. It uses a single flowing paragraph without bullet points, but each clause adds information. It is not excessively verbose and every sentence earns its place, though a more structured layout would improve scannability.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 19 parameters and no output schema, the description covers a lot: use cases, return types, and example queries. It does not explicitly address edge cases, error responses, or limitations, and it does not differentiate clearly from sibling tools, but the core functionality is well documented and the schema fills in parameter details.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds meaning beyond the schema by grouping parameters (location/uule, country, language, domain, device type, safesearch, time/date filters, tbm verticals) and illustrating with real-world queries like 'Roman Milyushkevich LinkedIn' and 'HasData CEO'. This adds semantic value that helps an agent map parameters to use cases.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a clear verb-resource pair ('Get Google Search Results') and then enumerates a vast feature set that distinguishes it from siblings. Phrases like 'Full-featured Google Search scraper' and the list of supported filters and result types (organic, ads, knowledge graph, People Also Ask, AI Overview) make it immediately obvious this is the comprehensive SERP tool compared to niche siblings such as serp_light.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It provides explicit use cases: SEO rank tracking, keyword research, SERP-feature monitoring, competitor analysis, grounding LLMs, and especially person/company data enrichment with concrete examples. However, it never contrasts itself with the sibling serp_light or states when to choose this over other SERP tools, so it lacks explicit when-not guidance and alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden, and it does disclose key traits: it omits rich blocks, returns only organic results, and supports specific filters. However, it doesn't mention error handling, rate limits, or potential staleness of data—common concerns for scraping tools. It adds value but isn't exhaustive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured and front-loaded: it states the core purpose, then omissions, capabilities, return format, and use cases. Every sentence contributes value, but it's slightly long given the detailed schema already available. Still, no fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the 12 parameters, detailed schema, and no output schema, the description covers the essential decision-making info: what it returns, key filtering options, and typical use cases. It doesn't explicitly explain pagination mechanics (though schema does) or edge cases, but the provided context is sufficient for an agent to select and invoke it correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3, but the description groups parameters into meaningful categories (location/uule, country, language, filters, pagination), giving agents a high-level understanding of how they combine. It adds conceptual clarity beyond the schema's individual parameter descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool is a lightweight Google Search scraper that returns only organic results, explicitly listing what it omits (AI Overview, knowledge graph, PAA, etc.) and what it returns (title, link, snippet, position). This makes it readily distinguishable from siblings like serp_getSearchResults or news/shopping tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicit use cases are given: high-volume keyword monitoring, bulk rank tracking, backlink discovery, and any workflow where only the ten blue links matter. This implies when not to use it (when rich SERP blocks are needed), though it doesn't explicitly name the alternative tool like hasdata_google_serp_serp_getSearchResults. Clear context but no formal exclusion.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
hasdata_google_serp_shopping_getSearchResultsgoogle_serp_shopping: GET /AInspect
Get Shopping Search Results
Scrapes Google Shopping listings for a query with location/uule, country/language/domain, time/date filters, device type, shoprs filter-helper IDs, and offset pagination. Returns product title, price, merchant/source, rating, reviews count, thumbnail, product link, productId, immersiveProductPageToken, and filter chips with hasdata_link for refining by brand/price/condition/promotions. Use for e-commerce price tracking, catalog building, promotion discovery, and feeding productIds into the Product API or tokens into the Immersive Product API for deeper data.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | Yes | Specify the search term for which you want to scrape the SERP. | |
| gl | No | The two-letter country code for the country you want to limit the search to. Provide one exact documented value (245 allowed), e.g. `ac`, `af`. | |
| hl | No | The two-letter language code for the language you want to use for the search. Provide one exact documented value (159 allowed), e.g. `af`, `ak`. | |
| tbs | No | This parameter supports various filters that can be combined by separating them with a comma. Here are examples of these filters: - Specific Time Range: `cdr:1,cd_min:10/17/2018,cd_max:3/8/2021` - Filter results to show only those within the defined date range. - Sort by Date: `sbd:1` - Results are sorted by date, from the most recent to the oldest. - Sort by Relevance: `sbd:0` - Results are sorted by relevance to the search query. - Sites with Images: `img:1` - Only show results from webpages that contain images. Quick Date Range (qdr): - `qdr:h` - Show results from the past hour. - `qdr:d` - Limit results to the past day. - `qdr:w` - Filter results from the week. - `qdr:m` - Display results from the past month. - `qdr:y` - Show results from the past year. - `qdr:h10`, `qdr:d10`, `qdr:w10`, `qdr:m10`, `qdr:y10` - Specify a number to show results from the last 10 hours, days, weeks, months, or years respectively. These filters enhance the control over search results, allowing for precise retrieval of information based on specific criteria. | |
| uule | No | The encoded location parameter. | |
| start | No | This parameter specifies the number of search results to skip and is used for implementing pagination. For example, a value of 0 (default) indicates the first page of results, 40 refers to the second page, and 80 to the third page. | |
| domain | No | Google domain to use. Default is google.com. Provide one exact documented value (195 allowed), e.g. `google.ac`, `google.ad`. | |
| shoprs | No | Specifies the helper ID for applying search filters. Must be used with the updated `q` parameter, which includes the selected filter (e.g., Coffee sale). To apply filters, use the `hasdata_link` from `filters[index].options[index]` in the JSON. Apply multiple filters by following each `hasdata_link` one by one. To remove a filter, follow its specific `hasdata_link`. | |
| location | No | Google canonical location for the search. | |
| deviceType | No | Specify the device type for the search. |

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the response fields (product title, price, merchant/source, rating, etc.), the filtering mechanism via shoprs and hasdata_link, and pagination via start. It also mentions that tokens can be fed into the Immersive Product API. It does not mention rate limits or auth, but those are often outside tool descriptions. The GET method in the title implies read-only, and the description aligns. It adds substantial behavioral context beyond the schema.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two paragraphs, efficiently front-loading the purpose and then detailing output fields and use cases. It avoids redundancy and keeps each sentence informative. Slightly longer than necessary but still well-organized and easy to scan.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (10 parameters, nested filter structure, pagination), the description covers the essential information: what it returns, how to use filters, and how to connect to downstream APIs. It lacks explicit error handling or rate limit info, but for an agent selecting and invoking the tool, the provided context is sufficient for correct usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so each parameter is already well-documented in the schema. The tool description adds some high-level context (e.g., 'offset pagination' for start, 'shoprs filter-helper IDs' for shoprs, 'location/uule' for location), but it does not significantly deepen the meaning beyond what the schema already provides. It meets the baseline for high coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it scrapes Google Shopping listings for a query, and lists specific filters and return fields. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools by explicitly focusing on 'Shopping Search Results' as opposed to general SERP, news, events, etc. The verb 'Get' and resource 'Shopping Search Results' are specific and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear use cases: e-commerce price tracking, catalog building, promotion discovery, and feeding productIds into the Product API or tokens into the Immersive Product API. It does not explicitly state when NOT to use it or compare to alternatives, but the use cases are sufficiently contextual to guide an agent. It lacks explicit exclusions or mention of sibling tools, so it stops short of a 5.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
hasdata_google_serp_short_videos_getShortVideosSearchResultsgoogle_serp_short_videos: GET /AInspect
Get Short Videos Search Results
Scrapes the Google Short Videos carousel (TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, etc.) for a query with location/uule, country (gl/cr), language (hl/lr), device type, and page-based pagination. Returns video title, thumbnail, duration, source platform, channel/creator, publish date, and direct video URL. Use for short-form content discovery, viral-trend monitoring, influencer research, cross-platform video aggregation, and sourcing short clips to summarize or embed in LLM responses.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | Yes | Search query term for retrieving short videos results. | |
| cr | No | The country code for the country you want to limit the search to. Provide one exact documented value (237 allowed), e.g. `countryAF`, `countryAL`. | |
| gl | No | The two-letter country code for the country you want to limit the search to. Provide one exact documented value (245 allowed), e.g. `ac`, `af`. | |
| hl | No | The two-letter language code for the language you want to use for the search. Provide one exact documented value (159 allowed), e.g. `af`, `ak`. | |
| lr | No | The 'lr' parameter specifies the language of the websites to return results from. This parameter filters results based on the language of the web content. | |
| page | No | Page number for paginated results, where 0 is the first page. | |
| uule | No | The encoded location parameter. | |
| location | No | Google canonical location for the search. | |
| deviceType | No | Specify the device type for the search. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions 'scrapes' (indicating a read-only external fetch), pagination, and the returned fields. However, it omits potential behavioral specifics such as rate limits, authentication requirements, or whether results are cached or live. While not misleading, it lacks depth on operational constraints.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured and front-loaded with the core action and scope. The first sentence is direct, followed by a concise list of parameters and use cases. It is slightly verbose with the five-item use-case list, but overall it is efficient and avoids unnecessary fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 9 parameters and no output schema, the description is sufficiently detailed. It names the output fields (title, thumbnail, duration, etc.) and covers the main parameter groups. It does not mention pagination limits or size, but these are minor and likely not required for an agent to invoke it correctly. Overall, it provides enough context for effective use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% coverage with detailed descriptions for every parameter. The description adds only high-level categorization (location/uule, country gl/cr, language hl/lr, device type, page), which is useful for grouping but does not explain nuances like the difference between gl and cr or hl and lr beyond what the schema already provides. Since the schema carries the load, the description adds marginal semantic value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states what the tool does: it scrapes the Google Short Videos carousel for a query, listing the specific content sources (TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels) and the types of results returned. The name and title reinforce this, but the description adds detail that distinguishes it from sibling tools focused on products, shopping, news, or standard search results.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description lists concrete use cases (short-form content discovery, viral-trend monitoring, influencer research, cross-platform aggregation, and sourcing clips for LLM responses), making the intended usage clear. It does not explicitly mention alternatives, but the sibling tools are semantically distinct (e.g., news, products), so the usage context is unambiguous. Lacks explicit 'when not to use' guidance, but the purpose is narrowly defined.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Each tool addresses a distinct Google Search vertical (web, shopping, news, events, short videos, AI mode/overview) with clear boundaries. Even where two tools are similar (full vs. light SERP, shopping search vs. product info), their purposes are explicitly differentiated.
All tools follow the pattern `hasdata_google_serp_<category>_<Action>`, with snake_case categories and camelCase actions. The only deviation is the immersive product tool's hash suffix (`getImmersive_e29f691177`), which breaks the clean convention but does not obscure intent.
With 10 tools, the server covers all major Google Search verticals without redundancy or bloat. Each tool serves a distinct scraping need, making the count well-scoped for its purpose.
The tool surface covers web search (both full and lightweight), shopping (search, product details, immersive offers), news, events, short videos, and AI-generated responses. Minor gaps like a dedicated maps/images tool are mitigated by the full SERP tool's `tbm` parameter, making the coverage strong overall.
