Connect Search Console to an assistant via MCP
Google Search Console is a live source on the hosted MCP URL, with 18 read-only tools. You connect it in the dashboard, tick properties, then paste the URL into Claude. Official Google Ads MCP does not include Search Console. There is no write on this source, and no X Ads on this gateway.

What this is about
Read this in
Each one opens that assistant with this URL and asks it for a summary.
Key takeaways
- Search Console on this gateway is 18 tools, all read only.
- Ticking a Search Console property is a separate allowlist from Google Ads customers.
- Official Google Ads MCP is ads-only: 3 read-only tools, no GSC, no Google-hosted URL.
- The same URL also carries Google Ads (38 tools) and GA4 if you connect them.
- An agent cannot complete OAuth or the ticked-property allowlist.
- There is no X Ads source. Microsoft Advertising is soon, with no tools.
How do you connect Search Console to an assistant?Link to this section
Add the hosted URL https:/ as a remote MCP server in your client. Connecting Search Console and ticking properties still happens on Get MCP Ads. Those two steps need a person.
- Open your MCP client and add a remote MCP server.
- Paste
https:/as the server URL and confirm./ mcp. getmcpads. com/ mcp - Approve the sign-in page. Connecting platforms and ticking accounts still happens on Get MCP Ads, not inside the client.
The H1 of this page is client-agnostic on purpose. ChatGPT and Codex can use the same URL; they are not repeated here.
What can you ask Search Console?Link to this section
Worked prompts mapped to shipped gsc_* tools
| Ask | Tools |
|---|---|
| Which of our pages are competing against each other in Search? | gsc_, then gsc_ |
| Where did we lose clicks between this month and last? | gsc_, then gsc_ |
| Compare Web, Image and Discover for this property. | gsc_, then gsc_ |
When should you not use this GSC source?Link to this section
- You need to submit a sitemap or inspect-and-index as a write. This source is read only.
gsc_inspect_urlreads inspection status; it does not request indexing. - The property is not ticked. Connecting the Google identity is not enough.
- You only wanted Google's official Ads MCP. That server does not include Search Console.
- You need X Ads or Microsoft Advertising tools. This gateway does not ship them.
