{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mofumofu3n-mcp-gemini-web-search": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/mcp-gemini-web-search/index.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}

You can run a dedicated MCP server that leverages the Gemini CLI to perform web searches locally. This lets you query Gemini via a standardized MCP interface and integrate Gemini search results into your workflows or assistant tools.

How to use

To use this MCP server with an MCP client, start the server locally and point your client at the provided stdio configuration. The server runs as a Node.js process and uses the Gemini CLI to perform web searches. For client configuration, add a Gemini Web Search entry that runs the Node command and points to the index file.

A typical client configuration shows how to launch the MCP server from your environment and how to reference the local index file. You will specify the command as node and provide the path to the server script as an argument. This enables your MCP client to invoke web search functionality through the Gemini CLI-backed server.

How to install

Prerequisites: Node.js v18 or higher, and a local installation of the Gemini CLI.

Step 1: Clone the repository.

git clone https://github.com/mofumofu3n/mcp-gemini-web-search.git
cd google-search-mcp

Step 2: Install the dependencies.

npm install

Additional setup and configuration

Configure your MCP client to run the server locally. The following configuration adds the Gemini Web Search server under your MCP clients, using Node to execute the server script.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gemini_web_search": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/mcp-gemini-web-search/index.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Notes

Replace /path/to/mcp-gemini-web-search/ with the actual path to your cloned repository. Ensure the Gemini CLI is installed locally so the server can perform web searches.
