TOOLKIT
Search Console MCP
Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, GA4 and AdSense behind one MCP server: 21 tools, of which 16 read and 5 change your property. Set up with one npx command and an OAuth window.

The reading side is the reason to install it: multi-engine analytics queries, period-over-period and drop-attribution comparisons, anomaly detection, URL inspection, PageSpeed, seven SEO audit types (quick wins, striking distance, cannibalisation, lost queries, brand versus non-brand), and a heuristic that flags conversational queries as likely AI-fan-out traffic, which the README is careful to call custom logic with no official API behind it.
The writing side is what our measure found and the shelf description did not say: `sites_manage` adds or deletes a property, `sitemaps_submit` and `sitemaps_delete` change sitemaps, and `indexing_submit` submits or removes URLs through IndexNow or the Google and Bing APIs. None of these has an approval step in the server. A careless prompt can delete a sitemap.
Tokens go to the OS keychain first, with an AES-256-GCM file fallback keyed to the machine; only the refresh token and its expiry are persisted.

Pairs with
Skills that work on what it reads
- seo-auditA full-site SEO audit that crawls, delegates to specialists and returns a 0 to 100 health score.
- seo-technicalA nine-category technical audit: crawlability, indexability, security, URLs, mobile, Core Web Vitals, structured data, JavaScript rendering and IndexNow.
- ai-seoThe longest AEO skill on the shelf: a three-pillar method (structure, authority, presence), an AI visibility audit, machine-readable files for agents, and monitoring that treats one run as an anecdote.
Method behind it
Our guide to measuring AI visibility explains why Search Console cannot show AI citations and what it can show (impressions on conversational queries). The server’s genai_query_insights tool is that same heuristic, and its README says so.
How to measure AI visibilityQuestions
Questions people ask before installing
Is it read-only?
No. Sixteen of its twenty-one tools read; five write, including delete operations on sites and sitemaps and URL removal requests, without a confirmation step in the server. Use a Google account whose Search Console role is restricted if you want it to be read-only.
Does it show AI Overview or ChatGPT citations?
No, and it does not claim to. genai_query_insights flags query phrasing that looks conversational; it is a heuristic over ordinary Search Console rows, labelled as such in the README.
Where do my tokens live?
macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager or Linux Secret Service; failing those, an AES-256-GCM file keyed to your hardware ID. Only the refresh token and expiry are stored.
