Research topics using Google search and web scraping.
This MCP server, developed by mzxrai, enables AI assistants like Claude to perform real-time web research. It integrates Google search, webpage content extraction, and screenshot capture capabilities. The server maintains a research session tracking visited pages, search queries, and extracted content. It is designed for seamless integration with the Claude Desktop app on macOS and Windows. By bridging AI capabilities with live web data, this implementation empowers more informed and up-to-date conversations. It is particularly useful for scenarios requiring fact-checking, gathering current information on topics, or conducting multi-source research in AI-assisted writing, analysis, and decision-making tasks.
