Why this exists
SEO data lives in three different silos. Answering one question — "did my traffic drop because of a ranking loss or a UX issue?" — usually means logging into three dashboards, exporting three CSVs, and doing VLOOKUPs by hand.
Search Console MCP puts GSC, Bing, and GA4 behind one set of tools your AI agent can call directly, and does the SEO math (cannibalization, anomaly detection, opportunity scoring) before the data ever reaches your context window — so your agent gets insights, not spreadsheets.
| Before | After | |
|---|---|---|
| Data | 3 dashboards, manual exports | 1 unified context |
| Analysis | Manual VLOOKUPs & pivot tables | Deterministic SEO math, done server-side |
| Accounts | Constant re-login | 20+ accounts, auto-resolved per site |
| Insight | Raw rows, agent guesses | Curated signals (opportunity scores, anomalies) |
⚡ Quick Start
npx search-console-mcp setup
This opens your browser, authorizes your Google account, and stores your credentials securely (see Security). Then add it to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Antigravity, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"search-console": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["search-console-mcp"]
}
}
}
Restart your client — and try one of the prompts below.
💬 Try it
Paste these straight into your agent:
"My traffic dropped this week vs. last. Find exactly when it started and which pages are responsible."
"Find keywords for example.com ranking positions 8–15 with 1,000+ impressions — my best quick wins."
"Check for keyword cannibalization — are two of my pages competing for the same query?"
"Run
seo_auditon my top pages: which have high search visibility but poor CTR?"
More example prompts
- "Run a full SEO health check (
site_health_check), segmented by Brand vs Non-Brand." - "Fetch my top 5 pages by impressions and run
pagespeed_analyze— any correlation with declining rankings?" - "Compare Google vs Bing performance for the last 30 days (
compare_engines) — where is Bing winning?" - "Submit my latest URLs to Google and IndexNow using
indexing_submitwithmethod: "index_now"."
🔌 Connect your accounts
| Platform | Method | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| Google Search Console | OAuth (recommended) | npx search-console-mcp setup |
| Google Search Console | Service Account | Set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS — details |
| Bing Webmaster Tools | API Key | export BING_API_KEY="..." — get a key |
| Google Analytics 4 | Service Account | npx search-console-mcp setup --engine=ga4 |
Manage everything from the CLI:
npx search-console-mcp accounts list
npx search-console-mcp accounts add-site --account=you@company.com --site=example.com
npx search-console-mcp accounts remove --account=you@company.com
When your agent queries a site, the server auto-resolves which account owns it — no manual switching. Multi-account docs →
🖥️ Run tools from the CLI
Search Console MCP also exposes registered MCP tools as direct CLI commands. Use the run subcommand to list tools, inspect tool-specific arguments, and print results as JSON, CSV, or an ASCII table:
# List registered tools
npx search-console-mcp run --help
# Show options for one tool
npx search-console-mcp run analytics_query --help
# Run an SEO audit with JSON output
npx search-console-mcp run seo_audit --siteUrl=https://example.com --type=quick_wins
# Print array results as CSV or a table
npx search-console-mcp run analytics_query --siteUrl=https://example.com --startDate=2026-06-01 --endDate=2026-06-30 --dimensions=date,query --format=csv
npx search-console-mcp run sites_list --engine=all --format=table
Service Account setup (for servers/automation)
- Create a service account in the Google Cloud Console
- Generate a JSON key
- Add the service account email as a user in Search Console with "Full" or "Restricted" access
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/key.json"
