This server has been deprecated in favor of web-researcher-mcp, a complete Go rewrite that ships as a single binary. The original Node.js version provided Google Custom Search integration, web scraping, and research workflows, but faced issues with orphan process detection via npx and Google's discontinuation of entire web search. The new version resolves these problems by adding multiple search providers (Brave, Serper, SearXNG), native process lifecycle management, and a three-tier caching system with optional Redis support. If you're using the old version, migration is straightforward since your existing Google API credentials carry over. The repository is now archived and read-only.
