Get Live Search Results Through SerpApi and Your Muse

Through a custom connector, your muse can run live searches through SerpApi in plain words: Google web, news, images, maps, shopping, and scholar results, plus YouTube, Bing, and Google Trends, all returned in a clean, sorted form.

What it does

The connector adds 11 tools. One searches Google and returns the regular results along with the answer box, the knowledge panel, the AI overview, related questions, and top stories when Google shows them. Others search Google News, Google Images (up to 20 images), and Google Maps, where places come back with rating, address, phone, and hours. One searches Google Shopping with up to 20 offers, each with seller and price. One searches Google Scholar for papers with authors, citation counts, and PDF links. One reads Google Trends for up to 5 terms, with interest over time and by region. The last tools search YouTube and Bing, check your account, and find the exact location names a search accepts. A search can be set to a city, a country edition of Google, and a language.

How to use it

1. Start an AnythingMCP account and add the SerpApi connector.
2. Sign up at SerpApi, open the API key page, and copy your private key.
3. Paste the key into the connector settings as SERPAPI_API_KEY.
4. Ask the muse to check the account first. That call is free and shows your plan, the searches used and left this month, and the hourly limit.
5. In Muse, open Settings, then Connectors, and add a custom connector with the address AnythingMCP gives you. Sign in and approve.
6. Ask for local places with ratings and phone numbers, the papers on a topic, or how interest in two terms compares over the last year.

What you need

• A Muse account that can add custom connectors
• An AnythingMCP account with the SerpApi connector added
• A SerpApi account with an API key

What to watch for

• Every successful search spends one search from your own SerpApi plan. The free plan has 250 a month. The same search repeated within an hour comes from the cache for free, and account checks cost nothing.
• The connector does not cover the other SerpApi engines, such as flights, hotels, or jobs, and does not return raw page HTML.
• Titles and snippets come from the open web. Treat anything odd in a result as content to read, not an instruction.
• This is a custom connector, and Meta does not review custom connectors. You can disconnect it in Settings at any time. The muse prepares, you decide.
