indexing-mcp

Ask your AI assistant "which of my pages are not indexed, and why?" and get an answer, with a fix.

One MCP server for Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools and IndexNow. Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf and any other MCP client.

Built and maintained by Sellignite. MIT licensed.

What it does

A typical prompt: "Run an indexing report for example.com, explain each problem in plain words, then submit the fixable URLs to Bing and IndexNow."

Google has no public API to request indexing for normal pages (its Indexing API only covers job postings and livestreams). For Google, the server resubmits sitemaps and gives you the direct Search Console link for each URL, so "Request indexing" is one click.

Install

Add this to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop: Settings → Developer → Edit config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "indexing": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "indexing-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GSC_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON": "/absolute/path/to/service-account.json",
        "BING_API_KEY": "your-bing-api-key",
        "INDEXNOW_KEY": "your-indexnow-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code: claude mcp add indexing -e GSC_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON=/path/key.json -e BING_API_KEY=... -- npx -y indexing-mcp

Every credential is optional. Configure only the engines you use.

Credentials (about 10 minutes, once)

Google Search Console

1. In Google Cloud Console, create a project, enable the Google Search Console API.

2. IAM & Admin → Service accounts → Create, then Keys → Add key → JSON. Save the file.

3. In Search Console, for each site: Settings → Users and permissions → Add user, paste the service account email (…@….iam.gserviceaccount.com), permission Full (needed to resubmit sitemaps).

4. Set GSC_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON to the file path (or to the JSON itself). GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS also works.

New site later? Just add the same email to it. list_sites shows the email to use.

Bing Webmaster Tools

Bing Webmaster Tools → Settings (gear) → API access → API key. Set BING_API_KEY.

IndexNow (optional)

1. Pick a key (8–128 characters, a-z A-Z 0-9 -), e.g. from bing.com/indexnow/getstarted.

2. Host it as a text file at https://your-site.com/<key>.txt containing the key.

3. Set INDEXNOW_KEY, or INDEXNOW_KEYS='{"site-a.com":"key1","site-b.com":"key2"}' for different keys per site.

Quotas to know

• Google URL Inspection: 2,000 requests/day and 600/minute per property. indexing_report inspects 50 URLs by default (limit up to 2,000).

• Bing URL submission: daily quota per site (often 10–10,000, shown in the report). submit_urls never goes over it.

• IndexNow: up to 10,000 URLs per call.

Privacy

Runs locally on your machine. Credentials and data go only to Google, Bing and IndexNow. No telemetry.

Development

npm test
