Free on GitHub, paid in hours

Anyone can clone a free MCP to scrape Google Images. Whether that stays free depends on the shape of your project.

▤ Google Images APIOne query in, the parsed image results out. Scraper API
FAQ

Before you wire it in

Do I need a Google account or a Custom Search key?

No. The only credential is your HasData key. The tool reads the public results page a signed-out visitor sees, with no Programmable Search Engine to configure and no daily quota of its own.

Do I get the full-size image?

You get its URL. Each result carries original with the file's own address, originalWidth and originalHeight in pixels, and a Google-hosted thumbnail. Download from original if you need the bytes.

What is tbs?

The filter string Google Images itself uses. isz:l for large, ic:trans for transparent backgrounds, itp:clipart for clip art, sur:cl for Creative Commons licences, qdr:w for the past week. Combine them with commas.

How do I page through the results?

ijn is the zero-based page index. Positions continue from one page to the next, so the first result of page 1 is position 101.

Can I localise the search?

Yes. gl sets the country, hl the language, and location a city for results that depend on where the searcher stands. domain switches the Google edition, google.fr or google.co.jp instead of google.com.

How fresh is the data? Is anything cached?

Every tool call fetches the page at that moment, so a new image that ranks today is already in the results. Nothing is served from a cache.

How many calls can run in parallel?

One on the free tier, five on Startup, fifteen on Basic, and fifty on Growth. The larger Growth volumes raise it to 200, 300 and 500.

What happens when I run out of credits?

Nothing is charged on top of the plan. Calls stop until the billing cycle renews.

Does it work with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code and Claude Code?

Yes, all four, plus anything else that speaks MCP over streamable HTTP. Claude Desktop connects through OAuth, and the rest take the URL and an API key header.

Is HasData affiliated with Google?

No. HasData is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google LLC. Google and Google Images are trademarks of their respective owner.
