Purpose‑built search API designed for AI agents, LLMs, and RAG pipelines, with minimal overhead, low p95 latency, and clean JSON.
Built for REST and MCP
Use a single REST endpoint POST /v1/search with your query, location, and freshness window for servers, or register our MCP server as a tool and call google_web_search. Query live web results, extract knowledge graphs, and pass citations back to your LLM — all with one call.
Trusted by AI leaders
Teams building agents, RAG, and orchestration choose SearchMCP for speed, reliability, and price.
“SearchMCP is the first search API that felt built for agents. Latency is stellar and the JSON is exactly what our ranker needs.”
“We swapped our SERP stack in a day. Costs dropped ~70% and success rates improved. MCP integration was dead simple.”
“Finally, a web search API priced and tuned for LLMs. Reliable, fast, and the team ships features quickly.”
“SearchMCP made our agent demos feel like production. Time-to-first-result is the best we’ve seen.”
