# Connect Search Console to an assistant via MCP > Connect Google Search Console to an assistant with one hosted MCP URL. Our GSC source is live and read only, next to Google Ads. [Articles](https://www.getmcpads.com/articles) How-to. Published 30 Aug 2026. Updated 30 Aug 2026. By The Get MCP Ads team, published by BENLY HLG. ## In short 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. ## 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. ## Spec | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Product | Get MCP Ads | | Category | hosted MCP gateway | | Protocol | MCP (Model Context Protocol) | | Live sources | 6: Meta Ads, Pinterest Ads, Google Ads, TikTok Ads, Search Console, Google Analytics 4 | | Auth | OAuth 2.1 + dynamic client registration | | Transport | HTTPS, streamable HTTP | | Endpoint | `https://mcp.getmcpads.com/mcp` | | Account access | ticked-account allowlist, checked server-side | | Search Console tools | 18 (read only) | | Writes on GSC | None. This source cannot write | | Pricing | Free 0 (1 ad account, 1 seat, 200 tool calls per period, read only). Pro 39 per month. Team 99 per month. Agency 199 per month. | ## How do you connect Search Console to an assistant? Add the hosted URL `https://mcp.getmcpads.com/mcp` 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. 1. Open your MCP client and add a remote MCP server. 2. Paste `https://mcp.getmcpads.com/mcp` as the server URL and confirm. 3. 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? Worked prompts mapped to shipped gsc_* tools | Ask | Tools | | --- | --- | | Which of our pages are competing against each other in Search? | `gsc_detect_cannibalization`, then `gsc_cluster_queries` | | Where did we lose clicks between this month and last? | `gsc_find_losses_gains`, then `gsc_query_search_analytics` | | Compare Web, Image and Discover for this property. | `gsc_compare_search_types`, then `gsc_get_data_freshness` | ## When should you not use this GSC source? - You need to submit a sitemap or inspect-and-index as a write. This source is read only. `gsc_inspect_url` reads 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. ## Questions ### Is this a client-specific setup guide? No. The H1 is client-agnostic. Paste the hosted URL into any MCP-capable assistant as a remote server. Connecting Search Console and ticking properties still happens on Get MCP Ads. ChatGPT and Codex can use the same URL. Official Google Ads MCP still does not include Search Console, so the join with organic queries is this gateway. ### Can the assistant request indexing? No. The Search Console source is read only. gsc_inspect_url and gsc_bulk_inspect_urls read inspection status. gsc_list_sitemaps and gsc_get_sitemap_health read submitted sitemaps. There is no write tool to submit a sitemap or to request indexing. Do not expect a confirm:true path on this source. ### Does official Google Ads MCP include Search Console? No. Official Google Ads MCP is three read-only Ads API tools you run yourself, with no Google-hosted URL. Search Console is a different API. This gateway ships both, plus GA4, as separate live sources on one URL, each with its own ticked-account allowlist. ### How many properties can the assistant see after I connect? Only the properties you tick. Connecting a Google identity that can see many Search Console sites lists them and leaves them unticked. The gateway answers only for ticked IDs. The check runs server-side, including through run_tool. Untick to drop access on the next call. ### Can I join Search Console to Google Ads in one question? Yes, once both sources are connected and ticked. Paid search terms live in Google Ads; organic queries live in Search Console. The assistant calls google_ads_* and gsc_* in one thread. That is the point of one hosted URL. Official Google Ads MCP cannot do that join because it has no GSC tools. ### Do you ship X Ads next to Search Console? No. There is no X Ads source. Microsoft Advertising is soon: OAuth exists, tools do not. Live sources are Meta Ads, Google Ads, TikTok Ads, Pinterest Ads, GA4 and Search Console. Official X and Microsoft MCPs are separate products, not rows on this picker. ## Sources - [Google Ads MCP server: Developer integration guide](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/developer-toolkit/mcp-server) (Google, 2026) ## Related - [Search Console with your assistant](https://www.getmcpads.com/guides/sources/search-console): 18 tools, what to ask, what it can change. - [Search Console MCP Server](https://www.getmcpads.com/tools/search-console): The server itself: 18 tools, the endpoint, the repository. - [Search Console MCP API reference](https://www.getmcpads.com/docs/sources/search-console): Every parameter of every tool, with what it accepts. - [Google Ads and GA4 in the same MCP client](https://www.getmcpads.com/articles/google-ads-and-ga4-mcp): The other two Google sources. - [One MCP URL for six live sources](https://www.getmcpads.com/articles/one-mcp-url-six-sources): Organic next to paid. - [What a ticked-account allowlist is](https://www.getmcpads.com/articles/ticked-account-allowlist): Properties start unticked. ## Author Written by the team that ships Get MCP Ads, the hosted MCP gateway this page describes. Every count on the page is read from the tool catalogue rather than typed out, so it cannot drift from what the gateway serves.
