Google Custom Search MCP capabilities
This catalog contains 3 public pages—one for every registered MCP tool in mcp-google-custom-search. Each page starts with the user's task, explains the result, and states whether the call changes real data (here: never — the Custom Search JSON API is read-only end to end).
Use this catalog to choose a ready-made capability. Full parameter schemas and API response details remain in the technical reference.
Search
- Search the web — Web search through your Programmable Search Engine: structured results with title, URL, snippet and metadata, plus pagination, language/country filters and safe search. Impact: read-only.
- Search for images — Image search (searchType=image) with size, type, color and license filters; each result carries the image file URL, its dimensions and a thumbnail. Impact: read-only.
Additional API methods
- Raw Custom Search API call — Escape hatch: a GET against any Custom Search JSON API path, returning the raw response envelope for parameters the typed tools don't expose. Impact: read-only.
