Deep Search MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that performs comprehensive web searches by combining Google search with advanced content extraction using Mozilla's Readability algorithm.
Features
- Advanced Content Extraction - Uses Mozilla's Readability algorithm (same as Firefox Reader View) for clean article extraction
- Multiple Search Types - Web search, news search, and image search
- Domain Filtering - Include or exclude specific domains from results
- Retry Logic - Automatic retries with exponential backoff for reliability
- Controlled Concurrency - Fetches pages in batches to avoid overwhelming servers
- Full Content - Returns complete page content, not just snippets
Prerequisites

This MCP server uses Serper.dev for Google search results.
- Go to https://serper.dev
- Sign up for a free account (2,500 free searches)
- Copy your API key from the dashboard

Configuration for Different MCP Clients
Kiro / Claude Desktop
Add to ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json or claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"deep-search": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "deep-search-mcp"],
"env": {
"SERPER_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
}
}
}
}
VS Code with Continue
Add to your Continue config:
{
"mcpServers": [
{
"name": "deep-search",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "deep-search-mcp"],
"env": {
"SERPER_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
}
}
]
}
Search Types
Web Search (default)
Standard Google search with full page content extraction using Mozilla Readability.
News Search
Searches Google News for recent articles. Use search_type: "news" or the dedicated deep_search_news tool.
Image Search
Searches Google Images and returns:
- title - Image title/description
- link - Source page URL where the image is hosted
- snippet - Direct image URL
Note: Image search returns metadata and URLs only - it does not download or display actual images.
How It Works
- Search - Queries Google via Serper API to get top results
- Fetch - Downloads each result page with retry logic (web/news only)
- Extract - Uses Mozilla Readability to extract clean article content
- Format - Returns consolidated markdown with full content from each page
Requirements
- Node.js 18+
- Serper API key (get one free)
