MCP Gemini Google Search

日本語

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides Google Search functionality using Gemini's built-in Grounding with Google Search feature.

This project is inspired by the GoogleSearch tool from gemini-cli.

Features

• Uses Gemini's built-in Grounding with Google Search feature
• Provides real-time web search results with source citations
• Compliant with MCP standard protocol
• Supports stdio transport
• Supports both Google AI Studio and Vertex AI

Requirements

• Node.js 18 or later
• Google AI Studio API key (Get one here) or Google Cloud Project with Vertex AI enabled

Installation

npm install -g mcp-gemini-google-search

Usage

Claude Code Configuration

You can set up this MCP server in Claude Code using the CLI:

For Google AI Studio

# Add to user scope (available across all projects)
claude mcp add gemini-google-search \
  -s user \
  -e GEMINI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here" \
  -e GEMINI_MODEL="gemini-2.5-flash" \
  -- npx mcp-gemini-google-search

# Or add to project scope to share with your team
claude mcp add gemini-google-search \
  -s project \
  -e GEMINI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here" \
  -e GEMINI_MODEL="gemini-2.5-flash" \
  -- npx mcp-gemini-google-search

For Vertex AI

# Add to user scope (available across all projects)
claude mcp add gemini-google-search \
  -s user \
  -e GEMINI_PROVIDER="vertex" \
  -e VERTEX_PROJECT_ID="your-gcp-project-id" \
  -e VERTEX_LOCATION="us-central1" \
  -e GEMINI_MODEL="gemini-2.5-flash" \

latest TypeScript features

It appears you're asking about the latest features in TypeScript. Here's a summary of recent updates and key features, based on the provided search results:

**Key Features in Recent TypeScript Updates:**

*   **Satisfies Operator:** This operator lets you specify that a value conforms to a specific type without fully enforcing it.[1,2]
*   **Const Type Parameters:** Using `const` with type parameters provides more precision with function generics, helping specify literal types and prevent unwanted transformations.[2] This ensures arrays are treated as immutable, maintaining their literal types.[2]
*   **Improved Enum Types:** Enums are more robust, especially `const enum`, which optimizes enums by inlining their values at compile time.[2] From version 5.0, all enums are treated as a type union, even with calculated values.[1]
*   **Template Literal Types:** Template literal types are more expressive, allowing you to create types that build on literals, similar to JavaScript template strings.[2]
*   **Unions and Intersections with Discriminated Unions:** TypeScript offers better handling for union and intersection types, which are frequently used to build flexible types.[2] Discriminated unions allow you to create complex structures with ease and clear type guards.[2]
*   **New ECMAScript Set Methods:** Support for new methods like `union`, `intersection`, and `difference` for more powerful set operations.[3]

**TypeScript 5.8 Highlights (March 2025):**

*   **Module Node18 Flag:** Provides a stable reference point for users fixed on Node.js 18, without incorporating certain behaviors of `--module nodenext`.[4]
*   **Optimizations:** Introduces optimizations that improve the time to build up a program and update it based on file changes, especially in `--watch` mode or editor scenarios.[4] This includes avoiding array allocations during path normalization.[4]
*   **Import Assertions:**  `--module nodenext` in TypeScript 5.8 will issue an error if it encounters an import assertion, as Node.js 22 no longer accepts them using the `assert` syntax, recommending `with` instead.[4]

**Other Notable Features & Improvements:**

*   **Inferred Type Predicates:** Improved type inference, especially with arrays and filtering.[3]
*   **Control Flow Narrowing for Constant Indexed Accesses:** Better type narrowing for accessing object properties.[3]
*   **Regular Expression Syntax Checking:** Basic syntax checks are performed on regular expressions, flagging errors like unclosed parentheses.[3]
*   **Array filter Fixes:** Properly filters the type of arrays when you use the filter function.
*   **Object Key Inference Fixes:** Improves type inference.

**Performance Enhancements:**

*   **Go Rewrite:**  A full rewrite of TypeScript in Go has been promised for version 7.0, which has demonstrated significant speed improvements (up to 10x-15x in some cases).[5] This will affect the compiler (`tsc`) and IDE performance (loading, hovers, errors, etc.).[5] The team chose Go for its structural similarity to the current JavaScript implementation.[5]
*   **TypeScript 5.0:** This update aimed to accelerate coding processes and simplify development by refining code, data structures, and streamlining import/export operations.[6]

In summary, TypeScript is continuously evolving with new features and improvements aimed at enhancing developer productivity, code quality, and performance.[6]
