### Description (declared)

# google-search-mcp

MCP tools over Google Search, through a dedicated logged-in browser profile. Personalized
organic results, ads stripped, the full advanced-operator surface, and pagination.

Published on PyPI as **`gsearch-mcp`** (`google-search-mcp` was already taken, by an
unrelated Custom Search API wrapper). Import package and repo keep the longer name.

Three-layer shape: all site knowledge in `client.py`, a CLI that mirrors the tools 1:1 as the
debugging surface, and a thin MCP wrapper.

## Why this exists

No official Google Search API serves this intent. The Custom Search JSON API returns results
from a *configured subset* of the web with no personalization, is **closed to new customers**,
and **sunsets 1 Jan 2027**. That is a §0 Q1 negative on all three sub-questions.

What you get that a keyword search API does not:

- **The advanced-operator surface** — `site:`, `filetype:`, exact phrase, exclusions,
  `before:`/`after:` bounds, freshness windows down to the **past hour**, **verbatim**
  (no synonyms or stemming), every Google vertical, region and language bias. All
  server-side, all free once the transport works. This is the strongest reason to use it;
  no keyword API has an equivalent.
- **Better sources on technical queries.** Measured head-to-head against the harness
  `WebSearch` and the Brave API on `MCP stateless server migration`: this returned the
  Google and Cloudflare engineering blogs, the spec's own GitHub issue and the Spring
  docs, where both alternatives returned a page of SEO blogspam paraphrasing the same
  announcement. Full comparison in `docs/ROADMAP.md`.
- **Personalized ranking.** Measured at **~3.4× the run-to-run noise floor**: disabling it moved
  roughly a third of the top-10. Qualitatively it resolves ambiguous technical queries toward the
  domain sense — `spring` returns Spring Framework rather than the film, `mcp server` returns
  Cloudflare's engineering blog rather than a content farm. Full method and caveats in
 …
