About MCP Google Cse
The tool only returns the results itself and not the content, the tool should be combined with other servers like mcp-server-fetch to extract the content from the search results. You may also combine it with other tools to enable some kind of "deep search" or tool chaining in general.
Tools (1)
google_search
Searches the custom search engine using the search term and returns a list of results containing the title, link and snippet of each result.
