Google Knowledge Graph Overview

The google-knowledge-graph MCP server connects MCP clients to Google’s public Knowledge Graph Search API. It provides one tool for text-based entity searches and another for retrieving entities by Machine ID (MID), returning names, types, descriptions, links, images, and relevance scores as JSON. Use it for entity verification, resolution, or structured lookups involving people, places, organizations, concepts, and other supported entity types. It runs through NPX or a local Node.js build and requires a Google Cloud API key with the Knowledge Graph Search API enabled.

Primary Use Cases for Google Knowledge Graph:
  • Verify entity details during research
  • Resolve names to Google Machine IDs
  • Filter entities by schema.org type
  • Retrieve structured metadata for known entities
