SerpApi gives Claude access to structured search results from Google, Bing, YouTube, and other engines without the headache of parsing HTML or dealing with CAPTCHAs. You get clean JSON for web results, images, news, shopping, maps, and more. The skill covers all the engines (google_images, google_news, google_maps, etc.) and handles location targeting, pagination, and filtering. Honestly most useful when you need current information or local business data that Claude's training cutoff can't provide. The examples are solid, especially the defensive jq parsing for maps results. Just watch your API credits since searches count against your SerpApi quota.
