MCP tools · 3 exposed · ~711 tokens

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 →

Tool Tokens
domain_position ~311

Find where a domain ranks in Google's organic results for a keyword, in a country and on a device, right now. Prefer it over google_search when only one site matters: it returns that site's best position and every other position, or a note that the site is outside the checked depth. A subdomain counts as the domain: example.com also matches blog.example.com. Billed like google_search, per page of 10 results of depth that received results (https://serper.live/pricing).

NameTypeReqDescription
countrystringyesTwo-letter code of the market to search in, e.g. "US", "GB", "DE", "FR", "TR": Google sees a visitor from this country. Call list_countries for the markets that are open right now.
depthinteger–How many organic results to check, 1–100. Default: 10. Use 30 or more to see positions beyond the first page.
devicestring–Browser persona Google sees. Desktop and mobile rankings often differ. Default: desktop.
domainstringyesDomain to look for, e.g. "example.com". Scheme, path and a leading www are ignored.
languagestring–Google interface language (hl), e.g. "en", "de", "fr", "uk". Defaults to the language of the country; the market itself is set by country.
querystringyesSearch keyword, exactly as a person would type it into Google.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

google_search ~332

Run a live Google search for a country, language and device and return the organic results in Google's order: position, title, URL, domain and snippet, plus the questions of Google's "People also ask" block and its related searches. Ads, sitelinks, video and image blocks are left out, so position is the organic rank. Every call is a real, uncached search that usually takes 2–3 seconds and is billed to the Serper.live balance per page of up to 10 results that received results, after the free searches of the account (https://serper.live/pricing); a search that finds nothing costs nothing. Use it to see the whole result list; to check where one site ranks, use domain_position instead.

list_countries ~68

List the countries Serper.live can search right now, with the default Google interface language of each. Call it when unsure whether a market is open, then pass a returned code as country to google_search or domain_position. Desktop and mobile are available in every market. Free, no token needed.
