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.

Whose server it is
  • Registry namecom.semscraper/semscraperverified in the MCP registry

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.

On 2026-10-21 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 614 ms.

Should an agent connect itConnect it
  • 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.

  • not sure · collect Google Maps listings with ratings and review counts

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

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_search

    Collects the real Google results page (SERP) for one or more keywords, rendered in a real browser, and returns every block (organic results, ads, local pack, People Also Ask, AI Overview with its citations and sources...) with, for each…

  • google_maps

  • get_serp_results

    Returns 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_sources

    Computes, 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_searches

    Lists 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_balance

  • list_google_versions

    Lists 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_status

    Returns 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/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.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.
