serper-search

Search the public web through Serper instead of the built-in WebSearch tool. Use when an agent needs current information, general web sources, or URLs not available from local files and project APIs. SERPER_API_KEY is available in the environment.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by agentscope-ai on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Serper Search AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/agentscope-ai/ReMe.git /tmp/ReMe
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ReMe/skills/serper-search .claude/skills/serper-search

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Serper Search in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Serper Search on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Serper Search is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Serper Search

Use Serper whenever external web search is needed. Prefer local files and project APIs when they already contain the required information.

Rules

Do not use the built-in WebSearch tool.
Do not expose the API key in answers, logs, committed fixtures, or browser/client code.
Prefer authoritative and primary sources in the returned results.
Refine the query when freshness, date, company, product, or source type matters.

API

Endpoint: POST https://google.serper.dev/search
Auth header: X-API-KEY: $SERPER_API_KEY
Content type: application/json
Required body: {"q":"query text"}

Curl

bash
curl -s --location "https://google.serper.dev/search" \
  --header "X-API-KEY: $SERPER_API_KEY" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{"q":"apple inc"}'

Response Use

Prefer organic results for normal search answers.
Use searchParameters to confirm the query actually sent.
Treat credits as usage accounting.
Verify important claims against the linked source rather than treating snippets as complete evidence.
Summarize results with source titles and links; do not copy large passages from snippets or pages.

Failure Handling

If DNS/network fails, report it as an environment/network issue and retry only when external network is available.
If authentication fails, report that SERPER_API_KEY is missing or invalid without printing its value.
If results are irrelevant, refine the query with names, dates, locations, or source domains.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Serper Search AI skill do?

Why use Serper Search on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Serper Search is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Serper Search in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/agentscope-ai/ReMe/tree/main/skills/serper-search. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Serper Search?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Serper Search?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Serper Search with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Serper Search AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by agentscope-ai under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
