# Google Search for your AI agent: the live results page, as data

RouterGrowth gives an agent Google through one MCP server: the live results for a keyword and location with every result feature and whether an AI Overview appears, Google News articles, keyword volume, and where a brand shows up in Google AI Mode. Bing is one parameter away, and each call is paid on its own.

## Connect

MCP server: `https://api.routergrowth.com/mcp` (OAuth, or an API key header).

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http routergrowth https://api.routergrowth.com/mcp
```

```bash
npm install -g routergrowth && routergrowth setup
routergrowth run -c seo.serp -i '{"keyword": "best crm for startups", "location": "United States"}'
```

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.routergrowth.com/v1/run \

  -d '{"capability": "seo.serp", "input": {"keyword": "best crm for startups", "location": "United States"}}'
```

## Worth knowing

- **Live, not cached.** seo.serp fetches the results page when you ask, for the location and language you set, on Google or Bing.
- **Built for rank tracking.** One call per keyword returns positions, features and AI Overview presence, so a weekly tracker is a loop the agent runs itself.
- **Search for answers, too.** web.search is the agent's own search: sources it can read and cite, not a results page to parse.

## Questions

### Is there a Google Search MCP server?

RouterGrowth is an MCP server with live Google and Bing results, Google News, keyword volume and agent web search as tools.

### Is this a SERP API?

Yes. seo.serp returns the organic results, the features on the page and whether an AI Overview is present, as JSON, for a keyword and a location.

### Can I use it as a rank tracker?

Yes. Run seo.serp for each keyword on a schedule and compare positions. You pay per results page, with no monthly plan for a tracked project.
