How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security74
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability61
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2520 tokens (~315/item across 8 items; 8 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management23
- Stability observed for 7 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 8 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 9 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
ai_overview_sources AI Overview sources ~171
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 on the page. Also returns how many searches have an AI Overview. Free. Best tool to answer "which sites does Google cite in its AI Overviews on these keywords": one small answer instead of every SERP. Based on source URLs, not on brand names.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ids | array | yes | IDs of google_search searches (serp_...). |
| top | integer | – | Number of domains returned, most cited first. |
| wait_seconds | integer | – | How long to wait for searches still running, in seconds (default 45, max 55). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_balance Account balance ~23
Returns the balance of the Semscraper account, in euros. Free.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_queue_status Queue status ~47
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.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_serp_results Get results by ID ~285
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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| blocks | array | – | Only return these result blocks, e.g. ["organic"] or ["ai_overview*"] (a trailing * matches a prefix). Block types: organic, paid_top, paid_bottom, local_pack, people_also_ask, featured_snippet, know… |
| domain | string | – | Only return the positions of this domain (e.g. "example.com", subdomains included) in every block, with its best organic rank and whether it appears in the AI Overview, instead of the whole SERP. Muc… |
| ids | array | yes | IDs returned by a previous search (serp_...). |
| max_items_per_block | integer | – | Maximum number of items returned per block, to keep the answer short. |
| wait_seconds | integer | – | How long this call waits for searches still running, in seconds (default 45, max 55). Call again while pending_ids remain. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
google_maps Google Maps results ~519
Collects 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, opening status and the snippet shown. Use it for local SEO, local competition and market research. Paid from the account balance, same price as google_search. Returns rating and review count, not the full text of reviews.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| depth | integer | – | Number of Google result pages to collect, 1 (about 10 results) to 10 (about 100). Each extra page costs more and takes longer. |
| domain | string | – | Only return the positions of this domain (e.g. "example.com", subdomains included) in every block, with its best organic rank and whether it appears in the AI Overview, instead of the whole SERP. Muc… |
| geolocation | string | – | Place the search is made from: "City, Region, Country" or "latitude,longitude", with an optional zoom suffix ("43.7102,7.2620,16z"). Strongly recommended: Maps results depend on the location. |
| keywords | array | yes | Keywords to search, one search per keyword (max 100). Google operators work (site:, inurl:, intitle:, quotes, -term). No comma inside a keyword. |
| language | string | – | Interface language code, e.g. fr, en, de, es, it, pt, ja. Must form a valid pair with location (see list_google_versions). |
| location | string | – | Google version as a country code: fr for google.fr, de for google.de, br for google.com.br, jp for google.co.jp, us for google.com. Must form a valid pair with language (see list_google_versions). |
| max_items_per_block | integer | – | Maximum number of items returned per block, to keep the answer short. |
| priority | integer | – | Priority in the account queue, 1 to 10 (10 first). Use a high value for a few urgent searches when a large batch is already running. |
| wait_seconds | integer | – | How long this call waits for the results, in seconds (default 45, max 55). Searches still running are returned in pending_ids: fetch them with get_serp_results. Use 0 to start a large batch and retur… |

google_search Google Search results ~699
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 item, its rank in its block (rank_type), its rank on the page (rank_serp), its Google page and its pixel position. Use it to know what Google actually shows for a query, in a given country, language, city and device. Paid from the account balance: about EUR 0.0003 per keyword for the first page, EUR 0.0002 per extra page. Takes about 30 seconds per keyword (about a minute for 10 pages); the tool waits for the results. Returns titles, snippets and URLs, not the full content of the pages.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| blocks | array | – | Only return these result blocks, e.g. ["organic"] or ["ai_overview*"] (a trailing * matches a prefix). Block types: organic, paid_top, paid_bottom, local_pack, people_also_ask, featured_snippet, know… |
| depth | integer | – | Number of Google result pages to collect, 1 (about 10 results) to 10 (about 100). Each extra page costs more and takes longer. |
| device | string | – | Device to emulate. |
| domain | string | – | Only return the positions of this domain (e.g. "example.com", subdomains included) in every block, with its best organic rank and whether it appears in the AI Overview, instead of the whole SERP. Muc… |
| geolocation | string | – | Optional city-level geolocation: "City, Region, Country" (e.g. "Lyon, Rhone, France") or a GPS position "latitude,longitude" (e.g. "43.7102,7.2620"). |
| keywords | array | yes | Keywords to search, one search per keyword (max 100). Google operators work (site:, inurl:, intitle:, quotes, -term). No comma inside a keyword. |
| language | string | yes | Interface language code, e.g. fr, en, de, es, it, pt, ja. Must form a valid pair with location (see list_google_versions). |
| location | string | yes | Google version as a country code: fr for google.fr, de for google.de, br for google.com.br, jp for google.co.jp, us for google.com. Must form a valid pair with language (see list_google_versions). |

list_google_versions Google versions ~88
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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| filter | string | – | Text to look for in the domain, codes or language name, e.g. "google.de", "br", "Deutsch". |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_searches Search history ~205
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 search made with the account, through this server or the API. Use it to find IDs (e.g. "the last 10 searches", "today's searches"), and whenever a google_search or google_maps call failed, timed out or lost its answer: the searches were probably created and paid already, so fetch them with get_serp_results instead of searching again.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| cursor | string | – | next_cursor from a previous call, to get the following page. |
| date | string | – | Only the searches created that day, format YYYY-MM-DD (server time, Europe/Paris). |
| limit | integer | – | Number of searches returned (default 20). |
| status | string | – | Only the searches with this status. |
No output schema declared.
