v0.1.0 — initial release

Initial public release of plsearch — a free, local, browser-driven Google Search MCP server.

What''s here

• Streamable-HTTP MCP transport — one long-running server, many concurrent clients (Claude Code, LM Studio, MCP Inspector).
• Persistent Chrome profile — Google cookies survive across runs, dramatically lowering CAPTCHA frequency.
• Headless by default, reveal on CAPTCHA — invisible during normal use; a visible Chrome window appears only when Google challenges, so a human can solve it once.
• Multi-page pagination — the limit parameter walks start=0,10,20,… up to ~100 results on a single tab.
• Anti-bot tuning — automation-fingerprint flags scrubbed, explicit Chrome UA, configurable inter-request throttle (PLSEARCH_MIN_INTERVAL_SECONDS).
• CLI client — uv run plsearch query for shell scripts and debugging.

Platforms

Windows, macOS, and Linux — all three exercised by CI on every push.

Requirements

• Python 3.13+
• uv
• Google Chrome installed on host
