serpgrab: Google Search and Maps missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, but it did not say what kind of credentials it expects.

This server publishes 1 more address. The block above uses the one we reach during checks; the full list is under Endpoints below, and the author may intend a particular one for your client.

Available tools 2

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

google

google_maps_search

Businesses and places from Google Maps, 20 per page: name, type, rating and review count, price, address, phone, hours, website, coordinates and place_id. Put the place in the query ("plumber in denver co") or pass ll. Each page is one billed search.

google_search

Real-time Google web results: title, URL, date and snippet for each result, plus the AI Overview, answer box, knowledge panel, local pack, ads and "People also ask" when Google shows them. Question-style queries ("how do I...", "what is...") usually get an AI Overview. Each page read is one billed search, so use pages=1 unless you need more. Usually 2-6 s per page.

How do I connect serpgrab: Google Search and Maps?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You will need your own credentials: it refuses anonymous clients.

Does serpgrab: Google Search and Maps need an API key?
