And MCP makes the experience even better. With Zenserp MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Zenserp with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zenserp/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### Why use Composio? Apart from a managed and hosted MCP server, you will get: - CodeAct: A dedicated workbench that allows GPT to write its code to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling. - Large tool responses: Handle them to minimise context rot. - Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 870+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so GPTs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need. ## Connect Zenserp to Codex ### How to install Zenserp MCP in Codex ### Run the setup command Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex. ```bash codex mcp add composio --url https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## What is the Zenserp MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Zenserp MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Zenserp account. It provides structured and secure access to real-time search engine results, so your agent can perform actions like running Google searches, grabbing news headlines, pulling images, analyzing trends, and even fetching local business data on your behalf. - Comprehensive Google and Bing search: Instantly run structured web searches and retrieve up-to-date SERP data from Google or Bing for any query. - Automated news and trend analysis: Have your agent fetch recent Google News articles or analyze keyword popularity over time using Google Trends data. - Reverse image and visual content search: Perform reverse image lookups or image searches to discover where an image appears online or find relevant pictures for any topic. - Shopping and video discovery: Search Google Shopping for product offers or Google Video for relevant multimedia results, all via agent-driven queries. - Local and map-based business lookup: Let your agent use Google Maps search to find businesses or places based on location, keywords, or coordinates for local intelligence. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `ZENSERP_BING_SEARCH` | Bing Search | Tool to obtain bing search results. use when you need real-time scraping of bing serps from bing.com. | | `ZENSERP_GOOGLE_NEWS_SEARCH` | Google News Search | Tool to perform a google news search. use when you need recent news articles for a topic. example: "search news for climate change". | | `ZENSERP_GOOGLE_REVERSE_IMAGE_SEARCH` | Google Reverse Image Search | Tool to perform a reverse image search on google. use after obtaining a public image url to find where the image appears online. | | `ZENSERP_GOOGLE_SHOPPING_SEARCH` | Google Shopping Search | Tool to perform a google shopping search. use when you need structured product offers and pricing data via zenserp api. | | `ZENSERP_GOOGLE_TRENDS` | Google Trends | Tool to retrieve google trends data. use when comparing keyword popularity over time. | | `ZENSERP_GOOGLE_VIDEO_SEARCH` | Google Video Search | Tool to perform a google video search via zenserp. use when you need video-specific search results. | | `ZENSERP_YANDEX_SEARCH` | Yandex Search via Zenserp | Tool to obtain yandex search results via zenserp api. use when you need programmatic access to yandex search data after constructing a query. | | `ZENSERP_ZENSERP_GOOGLE_IMAGE_SEARCH` | Zenserp Google Image Search | Tool to perform a google image search via zenserp. use when you need structured image search results for a specific query. | | `ZENSERP_ZENSERP_GOOGLE_MAPS_SEARCH` | Google Maps Search | Tool to perform a google maps (local) search. use when you need localized business results for a given query. provide 'location' or 'lat'/'lng' for geotargeting. | | `ZENSERP_ZENSERP_GOOGLE_SEARCH` | Zenserp Google Search | Tool to perform a standard google search via zenserp. use when you need structured serp data for a given query. | | `ZENSERP_GOOGLE_SHOPPING_SEARCH` | Google Shopping Search | Tool to perform a google shopping search. use when you need structured product offers and pricing data via zenserp api. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Zenserp MCP server provides comprehensive access to Zenserp operations through Composio.

With a standalone Zenserp MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Zenserp tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Zenserp and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Codex? Yes, you can. Codex fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Zenserp tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Zenserp while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Zenserp scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Zenserp data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
