Which sources does Google's AI Overview cite for "what is an mcp server"?
Ten cited sources. The answer opens:
"An MCP server is a lightweight software bridge that gives AI models a standardized way to safely connect to external tools, data sources, and files."
Cited: Stack Overflow Blog, Datadog, K2view, modelcontextprotocol.io, Truefoundry, Cyberhaven, Medium and three YouTube videos.

What does Google AI Mode answer when asked to compare MCP with function calling?
They sit at different layers, and are complementary.
Function calling is an execution primitive inside one LLM API. MCP is a client-server protocol for discovering, securing and running those tools across models.
A seven-row table compares architecture, portability, latency, governance, capabilities and setup cost. Ten sources cited.

FAQ
Before you wire it in
Do I need a Google Cloud project or a Custom Search key?
No. The only credential is your HasData key. Every tool reads the public results a signed-out visitor sees, so there is no daily query cap to plan around and no separate index.
Why do two tools return the same rankings at different prices?
Because they read different amounts. The full SERP tool parses every block on the page and bills 10 credits. The light one returns organic results and pagination for 5. Rank tracking across thousands of keywords should use the light one.
How do I get the text of an AI Overview?
In two calls. The SERP response carries an <code>aiOverview</code> block with a <code>pageToken</code>, and the AI Overview tool turns that token into the paragraphs and the cited references. That is why the second tool takes no query of its own.
What is the difference between AI Overview and AI Mode?
An AI Overview is the summary Google puts above the results for a normal query. AI Mode is the conversational surface, and it can be continued: set <code>continuable</code>, keep the returned token, and a follow-up question lands in the same session.
Can I search a specific city rather than a country?
Yes. <code>location</code> takes a Google canonical location such as <code>Austin, Texas</code>, which is what changes the local pack and the localised organic results. <code>gl</code> and <code>domain</code> only move the market and the Google front end.
How fresh is the data? Is anything cached?
Every tool call fetches the page at that moment, so a ranking change from an hour ago is already reflected. 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 is a trademark of its respective owner.
