Semscraper MCP server
Which MCP servers are Semscraper's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

The registry name sits under semscraper.com. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

- Its tools do every use case we checked: track keyword rankings and pixel positions on Google; monitor AI Overviews and the sources they cite.
Once connected
- For "track keyword rankings and pixel positions on Google", the likely first call is google_search.
- For "monitor AI Overviews and the sources they cite", the likely first call is google_search.
Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

Worth a look
None of the five warning signs in these definitions.
A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

google_mapsCollects the listings of a Google Maps search for one or more keywords, in the order Google Maps shows them, from a given place. Each listing comes with its rank, name (title), CID, category (type), address, website, rating, review count…
get_serp_resultsReturns searches already created (google_search or google_maps), by their IDs (serp_...), e.g. the pending_ids of a previous call. Free: the searches were paid when created.
ai_overview_sourcesComputes, on the server, which domains Google cites in the AI Overviews of searches already created (google_search IDs): for each domain, the number of keywords where it is cited, the number of mentions, the keywords and its best position…
list_searchesLists the searches of the account, most recent first (ID, engine, keyword, device, location, language, depth, geolocation, status, whether the results were already fetched, cost, creation date), without their results. Free. Covers every…
get_balanceReturns the balance of the Semscraper account, in euros. Free.
list_google_versionsLists the supported Google versions as location / language pairs (186 Google domains, 117 languages), to pick valid location and language values. Free. Filter with a country domain, a code or a language name to keep the answer short.
get_queue_statusReturns how many searches of the account are pending, processing or done. Free. The account has its own queue: the robots serve accounts in turn, so a large batch flows through gradually.
How to connect
Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:
{
"mcpServers": {
"semscraper": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.semscraper.com/mcp"
}
}
}Add it
Claude Code, in a terminal
claude mcp add --transport http semscraper https://mcp.semscraper.com/mcpclaude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://mcp.semscraper.com/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.
Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.

Analytics and ad measurement tell us which pages and which of our ads do their job: Google Analytics and Google Ads, the Meta pixel, Yandex Metrica, and one first-party id of our own. Nothing is stored until you answer, and declining changes nothing about the site.
