gemini-search-mcp Web Search Skill

Skill by ara.so — MCP Skills collection.

Overview

gemini-search-mcp is an MCP server that provides real-time web search capabilities to AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) using Google's AI Mode powered by Gemini. It bypasses traditional search API limitations by using Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) to execute searches through a real browser, giving unlimited, free access to Google Search results without requiring API keys.

The server exposes two MCP tools:

• web_search(query) - Search the web and get synthesized answers grounded in real-time results
• ask(prompt) - General questions where AI Mode auto-decides whether to search

Additionally, it can run as an OpenAI-compatible API server for non-MCP clients.
