Google Search Console inside your AI assistant
A hosted MCP server that lets ChatGPT, Claude, Codex or Cursor answer questions from your own Google Search Console data. You connect the Search Console properties you choose, with read-only access to Google, and ask about search traffic, queries and indexing. Paid plans add a 16-month history, SERP lookups, keyword research, Core Web Vitals and schema checks; Pro adds Google Analytics 4 reports and competitor keyword gaps, and Max adds backlink lookups and technical page audits. The free plan covers one Search Console property with a 30-day history, and the AI assistant's own subscription is separate.
