    "williamvd4-web-search": {
      "command": "node",

    }
  }
}

You deploy a Web Search MCP Server to perform Google-based web searches without needing API keys. It returns structured results with titles, URLs, and descriptions, and you can control how many results are returned per query.

How to use

To search the web using your MCP client, call the single tool named search. Provide a query string to search and optionally specify how many results you want. The server will return a list of results with title, url, and description for each item. You can adjust the limit to balance breadth with latency, up to the maximum supported by the server.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installing: a running Node.js environment with npm available.

Step 1: Obtain the server files by downloading or cloning the project files.

Step 2: Install dependencies.

npm install

Step 3: Build the server.

npm run build

Step 4: Add the server to your MCP configuration using the local stdio runtime. You will run the server with Node and point to the built entry file.

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

Notes and configuration details

This server exposes a single tool named search which accepts a query and an optional limit to control the number of results returned. You can integrate the MCP server with your preferred MCP client by referencing the web_search server name in your client configuration and invoking the search tool.
