Google Search Console

Google Search Console Skill

Query GSC for search analytics, indexing status, and SEO insights.

Safety Boundaries

• This skill only connects to Google Search Console API endpoints.
• It does NOT modify your Search Console property — read-only queries only.
• It does NOT store or transmit credentials beyond the current session.
• It requires OAuth credentials set as environment variables.

Setup

1. Credentials: Set OAuth credentials in environment variables (or a local .env loaded by your shell)
2. Scopes: Requires webmasters.readonly scope on your Google Cloud OAuth consent screen
3. Access: Your Google account must have access to the Search Console properties
