Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

documents

get_documents

Use this tool to retrieve the full content of a single document or up to 20 documents in a single call. The document names should be obtained from the `parent` field of results from a call to the `search_documents` tool. Set the `names` parameter to a list of document names.

search_documents

Use this tool to find documentation about Google developer products. The documents contain official APIs, code snippets, release notes, best practices, guides, debugging info, and more. It covers the following products and domains: * ADK: adk.dev * Android: developer.android.com * Apigee: docs.apigee.com * Chrome: developer.chrome.com * Dart: dart.dev * Firebase: firebase.google.com * Flutter: docs.flutter.dev * Fuchsia: fuchsia.dev * Gemini CLI: geminicli.com * Go: go.dev * Google AI: ai.google.dev * Google Antigravity: antigravity.google * Google Cloud: cloud.google.com & docs.cloud.google.com * Google Developers, Ads, Search, Google Maps, Youtube: developers.google.com * Google Home: developers.home.google.com * Google Maps Platform: mapsplatform.google.com * TensorFlow: www.tensorflow.org * Web: web.dev This tool returns chunks of text, names, and URLs for matching documents. If the returned chunks are not detailed enough to answer the user's question, use `get_documents` with the `parent` from this tool's output to retrieve the full document content.

answer

answer_query

Use answer_query to get a grounded answer to a query about Google developer products. This tool has limited quota. This tool will synthesize information from the corpus to generate an answer to the query. answer_query grounds answers using the same corpus as search_documents. This tool returns the generated answer_text and a list of document names (references) used to generate the answer. Use get_documents with the document names to fetch the entire document content if needed. If you get a 429 out of quota error, use search_documents instead.

Googleapis — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Googleapis do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: answer_query, get_documents, search_documents. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Googleapis working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 212 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Googleapis?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Googleapis need an API key?

No. Googleapis completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Googleapis?

It answers our handshake in 212 ms on average, which is faster than 61% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
