Google Search Console MCP Server

Fork notice. This is a trimmed, read-only fork of ahonn/mcp-server-gsc. The Cloudflare "remote" variant and the write-capable submit_sitemap tool have been removed, and only the webmasters.readonly scope is wired. See SETUP.md for how this build is installed and run — the npx instructions below are from upstream and do not apply here. The rest of this README may reference features removed in this fork.
