About this resource

Content

Google Search Console MCP Server connects Claude to Google Search Console data. It exposes tools for capability discovery, property listing, search analytics, period comparison, page/query analysis, URL inspection, indexing audits, sitemap review, and guarded Search Console management operations.

Use it when an SEO, developer, or content team wants Claude to analyze Search Console properties through OAuth or a service account while keeping credentials in a local MCP configuration.

Source Review

These sources were reviewed on 2026-06-06. Prefer the live repository, README, license, Python package metadata, server source, MCP config, dependency list, Dockerfile, tests, and plugin manifest for current setup and behavior.

Features

  • List Search Console properties and permission levels.
  • Get property details and verification information.
  • Query search analytics by query, page, country, device, and date range.
  • Compare performance between two periods.
  • Get a site-level performance overview.
  • Find search terms driving traffic to a specific page.
  • Inspect URL indexing and crawl status.
  • Batch-inspect up to ten URLs.
  • Check multiple URLs for indexing issues.
  • List, inspect, submit, or delete sitemaps depending on tool and safety flag.
  • Re-run OAuth authentication from the MCP client.
  • Toggle fresh versus final Search Console data with GSC_DATA_STATE.

Installation

Enable the Google Search Console API, create OAuth desktop credentials or a service account, and grant access to the target Search Console properties.

OAuth configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gscServer": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-search-console"],
      "env": {
        "GSC_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRETS_FILE": "<absolute-path-to-client-secrets-json>",
        "GSC_DATA_STATE": "all"
      }
    }
  }
}

Service account configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gscServer": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-search-console"],
      "env": {
        "GSC_CREDENTIALS_PATH": "<absolute-path-to-service-account-json>",
        "GSC_SKIP_OAUTH": "true",
        "GSC_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE": "false"
      }
    }
  }
}

After configuration, call get_capabilities and list_properties before using analytics or URL inspection tools.

Use Cases

  • Ask Claude which queries and pages are driving search traffic.
  • Compare Search Console performance across two time periods.
  • Inspect whether a page is indexed and when Google last crawled it.
  • Batch-check important URLs for indexing issues.
  • Review sitemap status and errors.
  • Submit a sitemap after human review.
  • Diagnose SEO drops by country, device, query, page, CTR, and position.
  • Generate weekly SEO summaries from Search Console analytics.

Safety and Privacy

Search Console data can reveal site strategy, private URLs, search demand, page performance, crawl status, and technical SEO issues. Keep OAuth credentials, service account keys, cached tokens, property URLs, query exports, page-level reports, sitemap URLs, and URL inspection results out of public logs and screenshots.

Destructive operations are disabled by default. Leave GSC_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE set to false for analysis-only workflows, and require explicit review before adding or deleting Search Console properties or deleting sitemaps.

Duplicate Check

No AminForou/mcp-gsc, Google Search Console MCP, Search Console MCP server, GSC MCP, or matching source URL entry was found in content/mcp or README.md. Existing Google Workspace and Google Analytics entries do not cover Google Search Console properties, indexing inspection, search analytics, and sitemap management.

Safety notesThe server requests the Google Search Console webmasters scope and can access every property available to the authenticated account. add_site, delete_site, and delete_sitemap are disabled by default and only run when GSC_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE is true. manage_sitemaps can submit or delete sitemaps depending on action and destructive settings. URL inspection and analytics tools can reveal indexing issues, search terms, landing pages, countries, devices, click-through rates, and ranking positions. Use least-privilege service accounts, avoid full-access credentials where read-only analysis is enough, and confirm exact site_url values with list_properties.Code Index MCP reads repository files, builds shallow and deep indexes, exposes file summaries, and can return source snippets through search and file resources. Point `--project-path` at one approved repository; avoid broad parent directories, home directories, generated dependency trees, or secret-heavy paths. Deep indexing and watcher refreshes can consume CPU, memory, disk IO, and temp storage on large codebases. The server can create and clear index/cache settings and temporary directories used for stored index data. Search results, file summaries, and symbol bodies can surface credentials, private code, customer data, internal URLs, or proprietary implementation details if they exist in the repository.Search results expose skill metadata and install instructions; installing a skill can give an agent executable scripts, shell commands, and third-party repository access. Treat discovered skills like unreviewed dependencies—inspect `SKILL.md`, scripts, and publisher sources before `npx skills add` or equivalent installers run. Self-hosted HAPI deployments inherit API rate limits and outbound network access to `https://skills.sh/api`; scope firewall and logging policies accordingly. Hosted remotes process search queries on vendor infrastructure; avoid sending confidential project names or customer identifiers in search strings when policy requires on-prem discovery.Read-only product catalog access by default; no write or delete operations exposed. API key should be stored in the MCP client config or environment, never committed.
Privacy notesOAuth client secrets, service account JSON, cached token files, Search Console properties, page URLs, query terms, sitemap URLs, countries, devices, clicks, impressions, CTR, and positions can be sensitive. The server stores OAuth tokens under a user config directory unless GSC_CONFIG_DIR is changed. Service account files and OAuth tokens must stay out of prompts, issue comments, logs, screenshots, and repository files. Redact property URLs, query data, page URLs, tokens, credential file paths, and inspection results before sharing MCP transcripts.Tool calls may expose file paths, filenames, source code snippets, imports, classes, methods, functions, symbols, search matches, complexity summaries, and project settings. Index data and temp directories can persist derived repository structure or symbol metadata outside the source tree. File watcher status, exclude patterns, and settings can reveal local project layout and development conventions. If an MCP client forwards tool results to a model provider, repository contents and search snippets may leave the local machine. Exclude secrets, generated artifacts, vendored dependencies, build output, and private data before indexing.Search queries, skill names, registry metadata, and tool responses enter MCP client context and may be logged by the hosted remote operator. skills.sh registry responses can include publisher URLs, install counts, and repository identifiers that reveal technology choices to shared clients. Installing skills from search results may download repository archives or scripts that process local files; review each skill's privacy posture before use. Self-hosted HAPI CLI mode keeps search traffic on your infrastructure but still contacts the public skills.sh API unless you mirror the backend.BuyWhere API key is sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header on every request. Search queries are sent to BuyWhere's API to retrieve product data; no third-party analytics or telemetry is included in MCP responses. BuyWhere may log API request metadata (endpoint, timestamp, status) for abuse prevention and billing.
Prerequisites
  • Google Cloud project with the Search Console API enabled.

Install
Run `uvx mcp-search-console` with either `GSC_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRETS_FILE` for OAuth or `GSC_CREDENTIALS_PATH` plus `GSC_SKIP_OAUTH=true` for a service account.
