Usage

Using `uv` (recommended)

Make sure you had installed uv on your os system.

In your MCP client code configuration or Claude settings (file claude_desktop_config.json) add serper mcp server:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "serper": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": ["serper-mcp-server"],
            "env": {
                "SERPER_API_KEY": "<Your Serper API key>"
            }
        }
    }
}

uv will download mcp server automatically using uvx from pypi.org and apply to your MCP client.

Using `pip` for project

Add serper-mcp-server to your MCP client code requirements.txt file.
```
serper-mcp-server
```
Install the dependencies.
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Add the configuration for you client:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "serper": {
            "command": "python3",
            "args": ["-m", "serper_mcp_server"],
            "env": {
                "SERPER_API_KEY": "<Your Serper API key>"
            }
        }
    }
}

Using `pip` for globally usage

Make sure the pip or pip3 is in your os system.

pip install serper-mcp-server
# or
pip3 install serper-mcp-server

MCP client code configuration or Claude settings, add serper mcp server:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "serper": {
            "command": "python3",
            "args": ["serper-mcp-server"],
            "env": {
                "SERPER_API_KEY": "<Your Serper API key>"
            }
        }
    }
}

Debugging

You can use the MCP inspector to debug the server. For uvx installations:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx serper-mcp-server

Or if you've installed the package in a specific directory or are developing on it:

cd path/to/servers/src/serper
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run serper-mcp-server
