Serpix alternative: Google SERP API MCP - CrakSEO

Serpix is a Google SERP API built for AI applications: send a query, get compact JSON back, billed per successful search from prepaid credits. CrakSEO’s Google SERP API MCP is a remote MCP server rather than a REST API you wire up yourself, and it sits next to keyword, backlink, indexing and Search Console tools.
