MCP Integration

Node.js AI SDK Integration

Node.js developers can connect directly to the SearchMCP MCP server using libraries like @ai-sdk/mcp or the mcp-remote CLI. This enables real-time Google search inside your custom agents or LLM applications.

Install dependencies

First, add the MCP client library to your Node.js project:

pnpm add @ai-sdk/mcp
# or
npm install @ai-sdk/mcp
# or
yarn add @ai-sdk/mcp
Connect with @ai-sdk/mcp

Use the @ai-sdk/mcp client to establish a connection to SearchMCP. Add your x-api-key header for authentication:

import { connect } from "@ai-sdk/mcp";

const client = await connect({
  url: "https://api.searchmcp.io/mcp",
  headers: {
    "x-api-key": "smcp_<YOUR_API_KEY>"
  }
});

// List available tools
const tools = await client.listTools();
console.log(tools);

// Call the search tool
const result = await client.callTool("google_web_search", {
  query: "apple inc",
  numberOfResults: 5,
});
console.log(result);

Replace <YOUR_API_KEY> with your key from Dashboard → API Keys.

Alternative: mcp-remote CLI

You can also use mcp-remote in Node.js scripts to proxy requests to the SearchMCP server:

npx mcp-remote https://api.searchmcp.io/mcp --header "x-api-key: smcp_<YOUR_API_KEY>"
