This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

Google Researcher — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Google Researcher?
Google Researcher runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package google-researcher-mcp.
Is Google Researcher still maintained?
The author archived this repository on GitHub, meaning it is no longer maintained. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect Google Researcher?
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 runs locally, so the command pulls google-researcher-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
Is Google Researcher open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 34 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.
