## Usage

### Using `uv` (recommended)

1. Make sure you had installed [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) on your os system.

2. In your MCP client code configuration or **Claude** settings (file `claude_desktop_config.json`) add `serper` mcp server:
    ```json
    "mcpServers": {
        "serper": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": ["serper-mcp-server"],
            "env": {
                "SERPER_API_KEY": "<Your Serper API key>"
            }
        }
    }
    ```
    `uv` will download mcp server automatically using `uvx` from [pypi.org](https://pypi.org/project/serper-mcp-server/) and apply to your MCP client.

### Using `pip` for project
1. Add `serper-mcp-server` to your MCP client code `requirements.txt` file.
    ```txt
    serper-mcp-server
    ```

2. Install the dependencies.
    ```shell
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    ```

3. Add the configuration for you client:
    ```json
    "mcpServers": {
        "time": {
            "command": "python",
            "args": ["-m", "serper_mcp_server"],
            "env": {
                "SERPER_API_KEY": "<Your Serper API key>"
            }
        }
    }
    ```


### Using `pip` for globally usage

1. Make sure the `pip` or `pip3` is in your os system.
    ```bash
    pip install serper-mcp-server
    # or
    pip3 install serper-mcp-server
    ```

2. MCP client code configuration or **Claude** settings, add `serper` mcp server:
    ```json
    "mcpServers": {
        "serper": {
            "command": "python",    // or python3
            "args": ["serper-mcp-server"],
            "env": {
                "SERPER_API_KEY": "<Your Serper API key>"
            }
        }
    }
    ```


## Debugging

You can use the MCP inspector to debug the server. For `uvx` installations:

```bash
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx serper-mcp-server
```

Or if you've installed the package in a specific directory or are developing on it:

```bash
cd path/to/servers/src/serper
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run serper-mcp-server
```
