Search Google, Bing, Google News and Google Scholar, and read public pages, through the Serply MCP server. Use when you need current information beyond training data, recent news coverage, or academic papers, with source URLs. Remote server at https://api.serply.io/mcp with an API key from https://serply.io sent in the X-Api-Key header.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Serply Web Search
Current web, news and scholar search plus page reading via the Serply MCP server.
## Setup
The MCP server is remote (Streamable HTTP), so there is nothing to install. Every request needs a Serply API key in the `X-Api-Key` header; create one at [serply.io](https://serply.io). New accounts include free trial credits, and each call after that is billed to the key owner.
Add it with one command:
```bash
claude mcp add --transport http serply https://api.serply.io/mcp --header "X-Api-Key: ${SERPLY_API_KEY}"
```
Or add the entry to `.mcp.json` and set `SERPLY_API_KEY` in your environment:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"serply": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.serply.io/mcp",
"headers": {
"X-Api-Key": "${SERPLY_API_KEY}"
}
}
}
}
```
Other clients: see the [Serply MCP setup page](https://serply.io/mcp) and the [API docs](https://serply.io/docs).
## Tools
- `google_search` - Google web results with titles, links and descriptions. Supports `num`, `start` for pagination, and a country via `proxy_location`
- `google_news_search` - recent news coverage; `ceid` (for example `US:en`) scopes it to an edition

How to install
mdr add davepoon/buildwithclaude/serply-web-search@sha256:c423227198b34a3eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.8730c74, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
