MCP Server

Overview

The SERPHouse MCP Server enables AI assistants to access SERPHouse APIs through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Once configured, supported AI clients can perform Google searches, retrieve SERP data, analyze search results, and use SERPHouse tools directly within conversations.

The SERPHouse MCP Server is fully managed by SERPHouse, so there's no server to install, host, or maintain.

Endpoint

https://mcp.serphouse.com/YOUR_SERPHouse_API_KEY/mcp

Why SERPHouse MCP

21 MCP tools

Live Google, Bing, and Yahoo SERP, Google verticals, and account lookups — all exposed with typed schemas

Zero glue code

Your assistant picks the right tool; you describe what you need in plain language

Hosted or self-hosted

Use the managed endpoint at https://mcp.serphouse.com/YOUR_SERPHouse_API_KEY/mcp, or run the server on your own infrastructure

Built-in context

MCP resources (serphouse_capabilities, serphouse_constraints, serphouse_examples) teach the AI usage rules automatically


Prerequisites

Before configuring the SERPHouse MCP Server, ensure you have:

  • A SERPHouse account

  • An active SERPHouse API key

  • An MCP-compatible AI client such as Claude Code, Claude CLI, or OpenCode

You can generate your API key from your SERPHouse Dashboard.


Quick Start (Hosted)

The fastest path — no build step, no server to maintain.

1. Get your API key from the SERPHouse Dashboard.

2. Add the server to your MCP client config:

Replace YOUR_SERPHouse_API_KEY with your SERPHouse API key.

3. Start chatting. Ask your assistant to search Google, Bing, or Yahoo, look up locations, fetch jobs, or check your account — it will route to the correct tool.
