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, 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 opportunity_matrix on my top 20 pages: which have high search visibility but poor on-site engagement?"

  • "Run a full SEO health check, segmented by Brand vs Non-Brand, with 3 high-impact actions."
  • "Fetch my top 5 pages by impressions and run a PageSpeed audit — any correlation with declining rankings?"
  • "Compare Google vs Bing performance for the last 30 days — where is Bing winning?"
  • "Am I too dependent on Google? Flag keywords where 85%+ of clicks come from one engine."

🔌 Connect your accounts

Platform Method Setup
Google Search Console OAuth (recommended) npx search-console-mcp setup
Google Search Console Service Account Set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALSdetails
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 [email protected] --site=example.com
npx search-console-mcp accounts remove [email protected]

When your agent queries a site, the server auto-resolves which account owns it — no manual switching. Multi-account docs →

  1. Create a service account in the Google Cloud Console
  2. Generate a JSON key
  3. Add the service account email as a user in Search Console with "Full" or "Restricted" access
  4. export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/key.json"

🔒 Security

  • OS keychain first — tokens stored in macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, or Linux Secret Service
  • AES-256-GCM fallback — encrypted with a key derived from your machine's hardware ID; a stolen file is useless on another device
  • Minimal storage — only refresh_token and expiry_date are persisted, at mode 600
  • Silent refresh — tokens renew automatically in the background
