Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Google Image Search every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Google Images results for a query, twenty a page: for each image its URL, width and height, its thumbnail with width and height, and the page it is on. `response.next_cursor` fetches the next twenty (null after the last page). Billing per call: 1 Credits.

Google Image Search — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Google Image Search do?

It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_v1, get_v2. 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 Google Image Search working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 365 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Google Image Search?

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 Google Image Search need an API key?

No. Google Image Search completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Google Image Search?

It answers our handshake in 365 ms on average, which is faster than 35% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
