Provides read-only tools for querying Google Search Console data: lists accessible sites, lists submitted sitemaps and their status, retrieves search analytics such as clicks, impressions, CTR, and position by query, page, country, device, or date, and inspects a URL for index status, canonical URL, and mobile usability.
This server does not currently have a deployable release on Glama. Follow the repository's setup instructions to install and configure it for your MCP client, including any required credentials and local dependencies.
gsc-mcp-server is a free, open-source Google Search Console MCP server
that lets you query your real Search Console data — search performance,
sitemaps, URL indexing status — directly from a Claude chat. It's a
local Claude Desktop extension (a .mcpb install, no cloud middleman),
built from scratch on first-party SDKs only: Anthropic's own
@modelcontextprotocol/sdk and
Google's own googleapis client. No third-party MCP wrapper packages, no
hosted connector sitting between you and your data.
No. As of this writing, neither Google nor Anthropic publishes an official Google Search Console MCP connector for Claude. Several community-built options exist in Claude's own connector directory, but all of them are third-party code from unaudited authors, and some are hosted connectors — meaning your Google OAuth grant for Search Console would flow through that vendor's own servers, not just their code. This project exists to fill that gap with something inspectable: original code, small enough to read end to end, that only ever talks to Google's API from your own machine.

Four read-only tools, usable directly from a Claude Desktop chat once installed, covering everything the Search Console API actually exposes:
Tool | What it does |
| Lists the Search Console properties your Google account can access |
| Lists submitted sitemaps and their status for a property |
| Clicks, impressions, CTR, and position — by query, page, country, device, or date |
| Index status, canonical URL, and mobile usability for one exact page |
Typical things you can ask Claude once this is connected:
"List my Search Console sites."
"Show me search analytics for example.com over the last 28 days, broken down by query."
"Which sitemaps are submitted for this property, and are any of them erroring?"
"Inspect this URL and tell me its index status."
Google's Search Console API does not expose the "Pages" indexing-issue report (Not Found, Soft 404, Crawled – currently not indexed, Excluded by noindex, etc.) — that report has never had a public API and is UI/export-only. No Google Search Console MCP server, first-party or otherwise, can get around that. This server covers what the API does expose: search performance data, sitemap status, and single-URL inspection via the four tools above. If what you actually need is the bulk Pages report, export it from the GSC UI instead — there's no API path to it, for this project or any other.
See SETUP.md for the full, beginner-friendly walkthrough —
Google Cloud Console project creation, OAuth consent screen, credentials,
local authorization, and installing this as a Claude Desktop extension.
Windows and macOS/Linux commands are given side by side wherever they
actually differ.
The last step is a direct download, no build step required: grab
releases/gsc-mcp-server-v0.1.0.mcpb
and install it through Claude Desktop's Settings → Extensions → Advanced
settings → Install Extension… — the whole setup is free, with no credit
card required at any step.
A handful of other community google-search-console-mcp projects exist.
This one is deliberately not a fork or wrapper of any of them — it's
original code built directly on first-party SDKs, for two reasons:
Trust. Something that holds OAuth access to real Search Console data should be small enough to actually read end to end, not a black box you have to take on faith.
Dependency surface. Fewer, first-party-only dependencies (Anthropic's own MCP SDK, Google's own API client) means fewer places for a supply-chain problem to hide.
OAuth scope is webmasters.readonly only — this MCP server cannot change
anything in your Search Console account, submit sitemaps, or modify
settings. It can only read.
Runs locally as a Claude Desktop extension — there is no hosted backend, no cloud middleman, and no third party ever sees your Search Console data.
The OAuth client secret and the saved refresh token both live outside this
repository (~/.gsc-mcp-server/ by default) and are never committed —
see .gitignore.
Dependencies are limited to Anthropic's own MCP SDK, Google's own API
client, and zod (used by the MCP SDK itself for input validation).
Is this an official Google or Anthropic product? No — it's an independent, open-source project. Neither Google nor Anthropic currently ships an official Google Search Console MCP server.
Does it cost anything to set up?
No. Creating the Google Cloud project, configuring OAuth, and normal API
usage are all free, with no credit card required. See SETUP.md
for the full breakdown of why.
Can I use this with a Domain property, not just a URL-prefix property?
Yes — pass the site URL as it appears in Search Console, e.g.
sc-domain:example.com for a Domain property.
Does this work with claude.ai in a browser, or only Claude Desktop?
Only Claude Desktop today. It runs as a local process over stdio, which
claude.ai's web connector UI doesn't support (that requires a remote HTTPS
server) — see SETUP.md for the full explanation.
Is my Search Console data sent to this project, or to you? No. This server runs entirely on your own machine and talks directly to Google's API with your own OAuth credentials. Nothing is collected, logged, or sent anywhere by this project.
