Hi team,

I'd like to request that "serper" (Serper.dev) be added as a supported web search provider in tools.web.search.provider.

Currently the allowed values are: brave, perplexity, grok, gemini, kimi

Serper is a popular and affordable Google Search API that many users already have configured. It would be great to have it as a supported option.

Reference: https://serper.dev

Thank you!

Fix Plan

To add Serper as a supported web search provider, follow these steps:

  • Update the tools.web.search.provider configuration to include Serper
  • Add Serper API integration to handle search queries

Code Changes

# Update allowed providers
ALLOWED_PROVIDERS = [
    'brave',
    'perplexity',
    'grok',
    'gemini',
    'kimi',
    'serper'  # Add Serper to the list
]

# Example Serper API integration
import requests

def search_serper(query, api_key):
    url = 'https://serper.dev/search'
    params = {
        'q': query,
        'key': api_key
    }
    response = requests.get(url, params=params)
    return response.json()

Verification

  • Test the updated configuration by setting tools.web.search.provider to serper
  • Verify that search queries are successfully handled by the Serper API

Extra Tips

  • Ensure you have a valid Serper API key for integration
  • Review Serper's API documentation for any specific requirements or limitations: https://serper.dev/docs
