A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
A Model Context Protocol server that gives Claude (and any MCP client) read-only access to your Google Search Console data. Ask Claude about your SEO performance, rankings, click-through rates, and indexing status — all from natural conversation.
9 tools that cover the full range of GSC data analysis:
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
gsc_query_performance | Flexible raw queries with full filter control — dimensions, date ranges, device, country |
gsc_top_pages | Top performing pages ranked by clicks, impressions, CTR, or position |
gsc_top_queries | Top search queries driving traffic to your site |
gsc_page_queries | "What queries does this page rank for?" |
gsc_query_pages | "Which pages rank for this query?" — cannibalization detection |
gsc_position_tracker | Compare two date ranges to find ranking changes — flags significant movers |
gsc_ctr_analysis | Quick wins: pages with high impressions but low CTR (title/meta optimization targets) |
gsc_list_sites | List all GSC properties your account can access |
gsc_inspect_url | Check index status, crawl info, mobile usability, and rich results for any URL |
All tools support response_format: "markdown" | "json" and a site_url parameter for multi-site use.
Once configured, just ask Claude things like:
git clone https://github.com/drewbeechler/gsc-mcp-server.git
cd gsc-mcp-server
npm install
npm run buildYou need OAuth 2.0 credentials to authenticate with the Search Console API. See Google Cloud Setup below for the full walkthrough.
Claude Code — add to ~/.claude.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"gsc": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/gsc-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"GSC_OAUTH_SECRETS_FILE": "/path/to/client_secrets.json",
"GSC_SITE_URL": "sc-domain:yoursite.com"
}
}
}
}Claude Desktop — add the same config to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows).
The first time a GSC tool is called, your browser will open for Google OAuth authorization. Sign in, approve, and the token is cached at ~/.gsc-mcp/token.json for all future sessions.
One-time setup to get OAuth credentials. Takes about 5 minutes.
gsc-mcp-server → click CreateGSC MCP Server) and your emailNote: The scopes are requested at runtime by the server — you don't need to manually add them in the console.
mkdir -p ~/.gsc-mcp
mv ~/Downloads/client_secret_*.json ~/.gsc-mcp/client_secrets.jsonnpx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.jsThis opens an interactive UI where you can test any tool. Try gsc_list_sites first to verify auth works.
"Unverified app" warning: If you set user type to External, you'll see this on first auth. Click Advanced → Go to GSC MCP Server (unsafe). This is normal for personal-use OAuth apps.
| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
GSC_OAUTH_SECRETS_FILE | Yes | Path to your client_secrets.json from Google Cloud |
GSC_SITE_URL | No | Default GSC property (e.g., sc-domain:example.com). Can also be passed per-tool call. |
You can set these in a .env file in the project root — the server loads it automatically via dotenv.
"Authentication failed (401)" — Delete ~/.gsc-mcp/token.json and restart to re-authorize.
"Site not found (404)" — Check the site_url format. Domain properties use sc-domain:example.com, URL-prefix properties use the full URL like https://example.com/.
"Access denied (403)" — Make sure your Google account has access to the Search Console property. Verify at search.google.com/search-console.
"No data returned" — GSC data lags 2-3 days. Default date ranges account for this, but if you've overridden dates to include today, that's likely the issue.
