SerpApi MCP server
3 tools · Last check that passed 27 Oct 2026, 01:50 UTC
SerpApi's own remote MCP server gives an agent live search results from Google, Bing, YouTube, eBay and other engines, through the SerpApi account its API key belongs to. Once a day, Stackduke connects to it the way any MCP client would, with no account and no sign-in, and lists its tools. It never runs them.

The tools the server listed at the last check that passed, at its default address and settings, with no sign-in; an account that signs in, or other settings, may see other tools. What a tool is counted as doing is Stackduke's cautious reading of the server's labels, the tool's name and its description: where they disagree it takes whichever says the tool can do most, so it overcounts on purpose. It does not say the server is safe, and it does not list what a tool cannot do. Descriptions are not shown, because they are written for models and may try to steer them.

Know when SerpApi's tools change.
One email when SerpApi's official MCP server adds, removes or changes tools, with what changed. Nothing else.
What to watch for
- It lists its tools with no key, but its search tool needs a SerpApi API key, and the free plan allows 250 searches a month. SerpApi's MCP server documentation
- Search results come from the open web, and text an agent reads can carry instructions for it. OWASP, prompt injection
How to limit it
With SerpApi's own settings, as its documentation describes them. Stackduke has not tested them.
- Send the API key in an Authorization header, as SerpApi recommends. SerpApi notes that a key in the address can appear in request logs. SerpApi's MCP server documentation
What Stackduke is designed to do
Stackduke is designed to sit between your agents and their MCP servers: to check each tool call against your rules before it runs, hold the risky ones for a person to approve, and keep a record of what was decided.
It does not yet forward or block tool calls for customers. Today it reads what this server offers and publishes what changes.
