Nothing serious here today

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

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: LITESCRAPE_API_KEY (Optional Litescrape API key. Without it, search, google_search, bing_search, google_maps and duckduckgo_search work from a free daily allowance; with it google_ai_mode, google_ai_overview, google_shopping and google_reviews are available too and the limits are lifted.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Available tools 9

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

google
google_ai_mode
Ask Google AI Mode a question and return its generated answer (ordered text_blocks: paragraphs, headings, lists, tables, code) with the sources it cited (references). Set continuable to get a token for follow-up questions; image_url adds a picture to the prompt. Slow: answers are generated per request. Requires an API key.
google_ai_overview
Return only the AI Overview Google generates for a search (ai_overview with ordered text_blocks and cited references), or null when Google shows none. Accepts the google_search parameters. Requires an API key.
google_maps
Search Google Maps for places (local_results with name, address, rating, reviews, hours, phone, website, coordinates) or fetch one exact place (place_results) by place_id, data_cid or data sequence. Filter by price, rating and opening hours. Free without an API key: 50 calls per network per day.
google_reviews
Return the Google Maps reviews of one place (reviews with rating, snippet, author, date, likes, owner response, guided details and dining subratings) plus place_info. Identify the place by place_id or data_id from a google_maps result. Sort, filter by topic or text, and follow pagination.next_page_token for more. Requires an API key.
google_search
Fetch a first-party Google Search results page as JSON: organic_results plus whichever modules Google served (knowledge_graph, answer_box, ai_overview, ads, related_questions, related_searches, local_results, top_stories, inline_videos and more). Supports localization, verticals (news, videos, local, shopping, patents), date filters and site restriction. Free without an API key: 25 calls per network per day.
google_shopping
Search Google Shopping and return the product grid (shopping_results with title, price, source, rating, thumbnail), category blocks, sponsored listings and the refinement chips Google renders (filters). Price bounds, sale, shipping and small business refinements are mutually exclusive; sort_by combines with one of them. Requires an API key.
bing
bing_search
Fetch a Bing web search results page as JSON: organic_results plus the modules Bing served (answer_box, knowledge_graph, copilot_answer, ads, related_questions, inline_videos, top_stories and more). Free without an API key: 50 calls per network per day.
duckduckgo
duckduckgo_search
Fetch ranked DuckDuckGo web results (organic_results with title, link, snippet) with region, safety and date controls. Free without an API key: 50 calls per network per day.
search
search
Search the web through Google and return ranked organic results (title, link, snippet) as JSON. Fast mode: no Knowledge Graph, ads or AI modules; use google_search for the full results page. Free without an API key (shares the google_search allowance).

Litescrape — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Litescrape do?
It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: bing_search, duckduckgo_search, google_ai_mode, google_ai_overview, google_maps, google_reviews and 3 more. 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 Litescrape 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 855 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Litescrape?
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 Litescrape need an API key?
No. Litescrape completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Litescrape?
It answers our handshake in 855 ms on average, which is faster than 12% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Litescrape?
The npm package litescrape-mcp-server was installed 74 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Litescrape open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
