Connect Claude to your Google Search Console data. Query search analytics, check indexing status, and manage sitemaps through natural conversation.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ installed
• Google Search Console account with at least one verified property
• Claude Desktop app installed

Installation

1. Run Setup

npx gsc-mcp-server --setup

This will open a browser for you to sign in with your Google account. That's it!

2. Add to Claude Desktop

Open your Claude Desktop config file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the server configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-search-console": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "gsc-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

If you already have other MCP servers, add it with a comma:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "other-server": { ... },
    "google-search-console": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "gsc-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop

Quit and reopen Claude Desktop to load the new server.

Usage

Once configured, ask Claude things like:

What you want	Example prompt
Top search queries	"What are my top 10 search queries this month?"
Page performance	"How is my /blog page performing in search?"
Check indexing	"Is https://mysite.com/new-post indexed?"
Compare periods	"Compare my search traffic this week vs last week"
Find opportunities	"Show me queries with high impressions but low CTR"
Manage sitemaps	"List my sitemaps" or "Submit my new sitemap"

Available Tools

Tool	Description
gsc_list_sites	List all your Search Console properties
gsc_search_analytics	Query clicks, impressions, CTR, and position
gsc_inspect_url	Check if a URL is indexed
gsc_list_sitemaps	List submitted sitemaps
gsc_get_sitemap	Get sitemap details
gsc_submit_sitemap	Submit a new sitemap
gsc_delete_sitemap	Remove a sitemap

Troubleshooting

"Permission denied" for a site? → Make sure your Google account has access to that property in Search Console

Need to re-authenticate? → Run npx gsc-mcp-server --setup again

Session expired? → Run npx gsc-mcp-server --setup to sign in again

Using Your Own OAuth Credentials (Optional)

The server works out of the box with shared OAuth credentials. For production use or higher rate limits, you can use your own:

1. Go to Google Cloud Console
2. Create a project and enable the Search Console API
3. Create OAuth 2.0 credentials (Desktop app)
4. Save credentials to ~/.gsc-mcp-server/credentials.json
5. Run npx gsc-mcp-server --setup to authenticate
