## Usage

### Installing via Smithery

To install Serper MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@garylab/serper-mcp-server):

```bash
npx -y @smithery/cli install @garylab/serper-mcp-server --client claude
```

### Using `uv` (recommended)

1. Make sure you had installed [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) on your os system.

2. In your MCP client code configuration or **Claude** settings (file `claude_desktop_config.json`) add `serper` mcp server:
    ```json
    {
        "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](https://pypi.org/project/serper-mcp-server/) and apply to your MCP client.

### Using `pip` for project
1. Add `serper-mcp-server` to your MCP client code `requirements.txt` file.
    ```txt
    serper-mcp-server
    ```

2. Install the dependencies.
    ```shell
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    ```

3. Add the configuration for you client:
    ```json
    {
        "mcpServers": {
            "serper": {
                "command": "python3",
                "args": ["-m", "serper_mcp_server"],
                "env": {
                    "SERPER_API_KEY": "<Your Serper API key>"
                }
            }
        }
    }
    ```


### Using `pip` for globally usage

1. Make sure the `pip` or `pip3` is in your os system.
    ```bash
    pip install serper-mcp-server
    # or
    pip3 install serper-mcp-server
    ```

2. MCP client code configuration or **Claude** settings, add `serper` mcp server:
    ```json
    {
        "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:

```bash
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx serper-mcp-server
```

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

```bash
git clone https://github.com/garylab/serper-mcp-server.git
cd serper-mcp-server
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run serper-mcp-server -e SERPER_API_KEY=<the key>
```
