What it does

SerpApi — structured search-engine results for Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, and Baidu, plus dedicated endpoints for Google News, Images, Videos, Maps / local, Shopping, Scholar (academic), and Trends. Use when the user wants to web search, look up news, find local businesses, run a price check, gauge interest over time, or pull SERP data for research / SEO.

The SerpApi skill is one of 75+ pre-wired Syncore integrations that any MCP-compatible client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex CLI, and ChatGPT desktop — can call out of the box. You don't configure MCP servers or copy API keys into a JSON file; the Syncore daemon discovers the skill at startup and exposes its tools to whichever AI client is running.

Sample prompts

Once Syncore is installed and SerpApi is connected, ask your agent something like:

• “Search for from SerpApi.”
• “Search for images from SerpApi.”
• “Search for news from SerpApi.”
