How to integrate Serpapi MCP with Pi

Pi is a minimal, self-extensible coding agent that lives in your terminal — one agent loop over Claude, GPT-5, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, and 20+ other providers, with maximum extension surface and minimum product opinion. Its core ships four tools (read, write, edit, bash) and self-extends at runtime through skills, extensions, and packages.

This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your Serpapi account to Pi. You can do this through either Composio Connect CLI or Composio Connect MCP. Because Pi already runs shell commands as first-class tools and ships no built-in MCP, the CLI is the recommended path — it's faster to set up, needs no server config, and chains multi-step tasks more reliably. The MCP path is also fully supported through Pi's official pi-mcp-adapter extension.

What is Composio Connect?

Composio Connect is a consumer offering that lets anyone plug 1,000+ applications directly into their agent harness — including Pi. It can:

• Search and load tools from relevant toolkits on-demand, reducing context usage.
• Chain multiple tools to accomplish complex workflows via a remote workbench, without excessive back-and-forth with the LLM.
• Manage app authentication end-to-end with zero manual overhead.

Prerequisites: Install Pi

Pi needs Node.js 18+ (Node 22 recommended). Install the agent globally with npm:

The Serpapi MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your SerpApi account. It provides structured and secure access to real-time search engine results, so your agent can perform actions like scraping search data, analyzing trends, retrieving product listings, and exploring local business information on your behalf.

• Real-time web search across engines: Instantly fetch structured search results from Google, Bing, Baidu, and DuckDuckGo for any query, including organic results, ads, and rich snippets.
• Product and marketplace data extraction: Automatically search eBay for products and retrieve detailed, structured product data to power research or price comparison workflows.
• Event and job listings discovery: Let your agent search Google Events and Google Jobs to uncover upcoming events, conferences, or relevant job postings with granular location and keyword filters.
• Financial and stock information retrieval: Seamlessly pull the latest company details, stock prices, market news, and trends from Google Finance using a simple query.
• Location and map-based search: Enable your agent to perform Google Maps searches to find local businesses, attractions, or venues—complete with structured location data and optional GPS-based results.

Way Forward

With Serpapi connected, Pi can now act on your behalf whenever you ask it to.

From here, you can extend Pi further:

• Connect more apps: Calendar, Slack, Notion, Linear, and hundreds of others are available through the same Composio Connect setup. Each new integration compounds what Pi can do for you.
• Build workflows across tools: Once multiple apps are connected, Pi can chain actions together — turn an email into a calendar invite, a Slack message into a Linear ticket, or a meeting note into a follow-up draft.
• Lean into Pi's extension surface: Wrap common Serpapi flows as Pi skills or prompt templates so recurring tasks become one-line commands, and use directTools in the MCP adapter to promote your most-used Serpapi tools into Pi's tool list directly.
