Category & Scope

Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Google Search Console MCP Tools (17)

gsc_sites

List every property the authenticated account can read. Call this first when a property string fails: it returns the exact `site_url` values the other tools expect, and whether each one is a domain property (`sc-domain:example.com`) or a URL-prefix property.

gsc_site_details

Permission level and property type for one property.

gsc_query

Query the Search Analytics report: clicks, impressions, CTR, position. This is the general-purpose tool. With no dates it covers the last 28 days ending today (UTC), with data_state=all so today's partial data is included, matching what the Search Console UI shows. Example: site_url="sc-domain:example.com", dimensions="query,page", period="last_28_days", row_limit=100. Returns a `# meta ...` line then a TSV table, or JSON with `meta` and `rows`. The meta names the exact range, the row count, whether more rows exist and the `start_row` to pass next.

gsc_performance_overview

Site totals for a period, compared with the preceding one by default. Start here: it answers "is the site up or down" in one call, with the percentage change on every metric. `position_delta` is negative when the average position improves.
