Pages/slides/sheets carry <!-- page N --> style markers for citation. Long documents stop at max_tokens (default 20000) and end with a cursor to continue; choose pages with pages: "1-5,8". A directory returns its readable files.searchSearch documents for text: one file, many files, whole directories (recursive, .gitignore aware), or URLs, across every format read supports. Returns each hit as file + page/slide/sheet + a snippet with the match in bold. mode auto (default) finds the exact phrase and falls back to BM25-ranked passages when there is none; literal or ranked force one. Narrow directories with glob, e.g. "*.pdf".list_propertiesStarting point — see every GSC property you can access and your permission level on each.get_property_detailsCheck the type and permission level of one specific property.add_propertyRegister a new site in Search Console (verification is a separate step).delete_propertyDrop a property from the authenticated account's Search Console site list. Historical data is not destroyed — the property can be added back.list_sitemapsSee which sitemaps are submitted and whether Google reports errors or warnings.get_sitemap_detailsDrill into one sitemap: URL counts by content type, last download time, error and warning counts.submit_sitemapSubmit a new sitemap after publishing or moving one.delete_sitemapWithdraw a sitemap that is stale, duplicated, or returning errors.get_search_analyticsThe raw query — full control over dimensions, filters, search type, row limit, data state, aggregation. Use when the shaped tools below don't fit.get_performance_summary"How are we doing?" — clicks, impressions, CTR, position with period-over-period comparison. Trend advice is withheld when the previous period returned no data at all.compare_periodsCompare two explicit date ranges side by side (before/after a release, seasonal comparison).get_top_queriesTop queries by clicks, each scored against the CTR benchmark for its position.Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
