Integration

Serper integration

Serper Google search API. Run web, image, video, news, shopping, scholar, patent, places, maps, review and Google Lens searches, get query autocompletions, and scrape a page into text and markdown. Every call is a POST carrying a JSON body, and results come back parsed rather than as a page to scrape.

What you can do with Serper

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Use Serper from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Serper in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Serper operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
