🚀 Quick Start

1. Set Up Google OAuth (Web Application)

Go to Google Cloud Console
Create a new project or select existing
Enable APIs:
- Search Console API
- Indexing API (optional)
Go to Credentials → Create Credentials → OAuth client ID
Select Web application
Add authorized redirect URI: https://your-domain.com/oauth/callback
Save your Client ID and Client Secret

2. Deploy

Option A: Railway (Easiest)

Click the button above
Set environment variables:
- GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID
- GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET
- GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI (your Railway URL + /oauth/callback)
- BASE_URL (your Railway URL)

Option B: Docker

# Build
docker build -t gsc-mcp-server .

# Run
docker run -p 8000:8000 \
  -e GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID="your-client-id" \
  -e GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET="your-secret" \
  -e GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI="https://your-domain.com/oauth/callback" \
  -e BASE_URL="https://your-domain.com" \
  -v ./data:/app/data \
  gsc-mcp-server

Option C: Manual

# Clone
git clone https://github.com/AminForou/google-search-console-mcp-v2.git
cd google-search-console-mcp-v2

# Install
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Set environment variables
export GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID="your-client-id"
export GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET="your-secret"
export GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI="http://localhost:8000/oauth/callback"

# Run
uvicorn gsc_server_remote:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

3. User Flow

Users visit your server → https://your-domain.com
Click "Sign in with Google" → OAuth flow
Get unique API key → Displayed after login
Configure Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gscServer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://your-domain.com/mcp/USER_API_KEY/sse"]
    }
  }
}

🔒 Security Considerations

HTTPS Required: Always use HTTPS in production
API Keys: Each user gets a unique key - treat it like a password
Token Storage: Uses SQLite by default - use PostgreSQL for production
CORS: Restrict origins in production
Rate Limiting: Add rate limiting for production
