You can use this MCP server to perform Google Web Searches via the Gemini API and get citations with source links. It enables seamless integration with MCP clients to query the web and retrieve grounded results.

How to use

You interact with the google_web_search tool through an MCP client. Start the local MCP server you configured, then request searches by providing a query like you would in a web search. The tool returns search results that include citations and source links so you can verify information. Use it to look up current topics, clarify facts, or gather background material for writing and planning.

How to install

Prerequisites: ensure you have Node.js 18+ installed on your system.

# Install the MCP server globally (production setup)
npm install -g gemini-google-web-search-mcp

# Or install from source
# git clone https://github.com/yourusername/gemini-google-web-search-mcp.git
# cd gemini-google-web-search-mcp
# npm install
# npm run build
