### Description (declared)

# Google Custom Search Engine MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server that provides search capabilities using a CSE (custom search engine). This server enables LLMs to provide a regular google search term and returns the found search results.

The tool only returns the results itself and not the content, the tool should be combined with other servers like [mcp-server-fetch](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/fetch) to extract the content from the search results.
You may also combine it with other tools to enable some kind of "deep search" or tool chaining in general.

**The free quota is 100 searches (1 tool call == 1 search) per day, if you don't want to set up billing and this is insufficient for your use case, you should consider using another server.**
