Autom MCP Server

Official Model Context Protocol server for the Autom SERP API.

Google, Bing and Brave search results as structured JSON — web, maps, news, shopping, images, jobs and AI Mode.

It lets Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and any MCP client call the API as tools. Runs over stdio (local) or Streamable HTTP (self-hosted).

Requirements

• Node.js 20 or newer
• a Autom API key — sign up, then copy it from the dashboard

Hosted server (recommended)

Autom runs this server for you at https://mcp.autom.dev/ (Streamable HTTP). Send your API key in the x-api-key header; nothing to install.

claude mcp add --transport http autom https://mcp.autom.dev/ --header "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autom": {
      "url": "https://mcp.autom.dev/",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

The hosted server and this package expose the same API; run the package locally when you want stdio, your own network egress, or to self-host it.

Run it locally

Claude Code

claude mcp add autom --env AUTOM_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY -- npx -y @automdev/mcp

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and other clients

Add the server to the client's MCP configuration (claude_desktop_config.json, .cursor/mcp.json…):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autom": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@automdev/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "AUTOM_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code

{
  "servers": {
    "autom": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@automdev/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "AUTOM_API_KEY": "${input:autom-api-key}"
      }
    }
  },
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "autom-api-key",
      "description": "Autom API key",
      "password": true
    }
  ]
}

Claude Desktop extension

Download the .mcpb bundle from the releases page and open it; Claude Desktop asks for your API key.
