gsc-mcp

MCP server for Google Search Console API and Google Indexing API — full API coverage.

When to Use

Task	Tool
"Check which queries my site ranks for"	`search_analytics_query`
"Notify Google about an eligible job posting or livestream URL"	`indexing_publish`
"Find pages with indexing errors"	`url_inspection_inspect`
"Get search performance data for the last 30 days"	`search_analytics_query`
"Compare click-through rates between mobile and desktop"	`search_analytics_query` (group by `device`)
"Submit my sitemap to Google"	`sitemaps_submit`
"Batch notify eligible job posting/livestream URLs"	`indexing_batch_publish`

For AI agents: See llms.txt for a machine-readable summary. Copy templates/CLAUDE.md or templates/AGENTS.md into your project to teach your agent about this MCP.

Unlike other GSC MCP servers that only wrap searchAnalytics.query, this server exposes every endpoint available in the Google Search Console and Indexing APIs.

Search Analytics

Tool	Description
`search_analytics_query`	Query search performance data (clicks, impressions, CTR, position) with filtering and grouping. Supports hourly data with the `hour` dimension.

URL Inspection

Tool	Description
`url_inspection_inspect`	Inspect a URL's index status, crawl info, rich results, and AMP (the deprecated mobile-usability field may be absent)

Indexing API

Tool	Description
`indexing_publish`	Notify Google about an eligible `JobPosting` or `BroadcastEvent` URL update/removal
`indexing_get_metadata`	Get latest notification metadata for an eligible URL (requires `contentType`; not index status)
`indexing_batch_publish`	Batch notify up to 100 eligible URLs and report every embedded request status

Indexing API eligibility: Google supports this API only for pages with JobPosting structured data or livestream pages with BroadcastEvent embedded in a VideoObject. The tools require contentType so callers must identify which supported type applies. A successful API response confirms receipt of the notification; it does not guarantee that Google indexed the URL. Use url_inspection_inspect to check index status. See Google's Indexing API usage guide.

Authentication

Two authentication methods are supported:

Option 1: OAuth2 Refresh Token

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gsc-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mikusnuz/gsc-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GSC_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
        "GSC_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret",
        "GSC_REFRESH_TOKEN": "your-refresh-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Required OAuth2 scopes:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/webmasters
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/indexing

Option 2: Service Account

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gsc-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mikusnuz/gsc-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GSC_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY_PATH": "/path/to/service-account-key.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

For Search Console read/write tools, add the service account as an owner or user with sufficient permission. For Indexing API tools, Google requires the service account to be added as a delegated owner of the property; user-level access is not sufficient.
