## โก What's New in v2.1.2
* ๐ค **GenAI Query Insights (`genai_query_insights`)**: Surfaces likely generative-AI / AI-Mode / conversational "fanout" queries across Google and Bing. This is **custom heuristic logic** โ no official API is provided by Google or Bing for GenAI citation data, so it flags prompt verbs, follow-ups, acknowledgements, and conversational phrasing on the regular query data both engines already return. See [docs โ](https://searchconsolemcp.saurabh.app/tools/seo-intelligence)
* ๐ชฒ **`analytics_query` fix**: `rowLimit` is now honored instead of being silently ignored (previously always returned up to 1000 rows); `limit` remains as a backward-compatible alias.
What's New in v2.1.0
* ๐ฐ **Google AdSense Integration**: Earnings reports, payments and account alerts via `setup --engine=adsense`. Enabling AdSense requires you to approve a separate `adsense.readonly` OAuth scope; your existing GSC, Bing, and GA4 configuration remains unchanged until you opt in.
* ๐ **OAuth-only AdSense auth**: The AdSense Management API supports user OAuth only โ setup now validates access live and rejects unsupported service-account configs with actionable guidance. Multi-account users get explicit publisher-account selection with full pagination (>100 accounts).
* ๐ **`adsense_report` upgrades**: Custom `startDate`/`endDate` now override preset `dateRange`s, plus a new `orderBy` parameter (`-ESTIMATED_EARNINGS`) for sorted revenue reports.
* ๐งช **End-to-end MCP test suite**: The built server binary is now tested over stdio and SSE exactly like an MCP host would drive it โ handshake, tool schemas, error envelopes, and multi-account resource behavior (11 e2e tests wired into CI).
What's New in v2.0.x
* ๐ฐ **Google AdSense Integration**: Earnings reports, payments and account alerts via `setup --engine=adsense`. Enabling AdSense requires you to approve a separate `adsense.readonly` OAuth scope; your existing GSC, Bing, and GA4 configuration remains unchanged until you opt in.
* ๐ **OAuth-only AdSense auth**: The AdSense Management API supports user OAuth only โ setup now validates access live and rejects unsupported service-account configs with actionable guidance. Multi-account users get explicit publisher-account selection with full pagination (>100 accounts).

What's New in v2.0.x
* ๐ฆ **MCPB One-Click Bundle Support (`.mcpb`)**: Drag and drop bundle installation for Claude Desktop.
* โก **Parallel Fetch Engine (`engine: "all"`)**: Multi-engine queries fetch Google, Bing, and GA4 concurrently with **50%+ lower latency**.
* ๐ **100% Backward Compatibility**: All ~96 legacy tool names continue to work seamlessly via our fallback router. [Read Backward Compatibility Guide โ](https://searchconsolemcp.saurabh.app/concepts/backward-compatibility)

## Why this exists
Site data lives in four different silos. Answering one question โ
*"did my ad revenue drop because of a traffic dip or a lower RPM?"*
โ usually means logging into four dashboards, exporting four CSVs,
and doing VLOOKUPs by hand.
Search Console MCP puts **GSC, Bing, GA4, and AdSense** behind one
set of tools your AI agent can call directly, and does the analysis
(cannibalization, anomaly detection, revenue attribution) *before*
the data ever reaches your context window.
| | Before | After |
| ------------ | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **Data** | 4 dashboards, manual exports | 1 unified context |
| **Analysis** | Manual VLOOKUPs & pivot tables | Deterministic SEO + revenue math, server-side |
| **Accounts** | Constant re-login | 20+ accounts, auto-resolved per site |
| **Insight** | Raw rows, agent guesses | Curated signals (opportunity scores, anomalies) |
---
## โก Quick Start
```bash
npx search-console-mcp setup
```
This opens your browser, authorizes your Google account, and stores your credentials securely (see [Security](#-security)). Then add it to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Antigravity, etc.):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"search-console": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["search-console-mcp"]
}
}
}
```
Restart your client โ and try one of the prompts below.
---
## ๐ฌ Try it
Paste these straight into your agent:
> **"My traffic dropped this week vs. last. Find exactly when it started and which pages are responsible."**
> **"Find keywords for example.com ranking positions 8โ15 with 1,000+ impressions โ my best quick wins."**
> **"Check for keyword cannibalization โ are two of my pages competing for the same query?"**
> **"Run `seo_audit` on my top pages: which have high search visibility but poor CTR?"**
More example prompts
- *"Run a full SEO health check (`site_health_check`), segmented by Brand vs Non-Brand."*
- *"Fetch my top 5 pages by impressions and run `pagespeed_analyze` โ any correlation with declining rankings?"*
- *"Compare Google vs Bing performance for the last 30 days (`compare_engines`) โ where is Bing winning?"*
- *"Submit my latest URLs to Google and IndexNow using `indexing_submit` with `method: "index_now"`."*

## ๐ Connect your accounts
| Platform | Method | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| **Google Search Console** | OAuth (recommended) | `npx search-console-mcp setup` |
| **Google Search Console** | Service Account | Set `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` โ [details](#service-account-advanced) |
| **Bing Webmaster Tools** | API Key | `export BING_API_KEY="..."` โ [get a key](https://www.bing.com/webmasters/settings/api) |
| **Google Analytics 4** | Service Account | `npx search-console-mcp setup --engine=ga4` |
| **Google AdSense** | OAuth (read-only) | `npx search-console-mcp setup --engine=adsense` โ [headless servers](#headless-servers) |
Manage everything from the CLI:
```bash
npx search-console-mcp accounts list
npx search-console-mcp accounts add-site --account=you@company.com --site=example.com
npx search-console-mcp accounts remove --account=you@company.com
```
When your agent queries a site, the server auto-resolves which account owns it โ no manual switching. [Multi-account docs โ](https://searchconsolemcp.saurabh.app/getting-started/multi-account)
Headless servers (Docker, CI, VPS)
AdSense cannot use service accounts, and config files are machine-encrypted โ so authorize once on any machine with a browser and transfer the grant:
```bash
# 1. On your laptop (after setup --engine=adsense):
npx search-console-mcp adsense-export
# 2. On the server (prints a ready-to-run command on step 1):
npx search-console-mcp adsense-import --token='...' --publisher-id='accounts/pub-...'
```
The token is stored encrypted on the server and auto-refreshes โ no browser needed again. Setup over SSH also works directly: when no browser is detected, `setup` prints the authorization URL plus `ssh -L 3000:localhost:3000` port-forward instructions instead of failing.

## ๐ฅ๏ธ Run tools from the CLI
Search Console MCP also exposes registered MCP tools as direct CLI commands. Use the `run` subcommand to list tools, inspect tool-specific arguments, and print results as JSON, CSV, or an ASCII table:
```bash
# List registered tools
npx search-console-mcp run --help
# Show options for one tool
npx search-console-mcp run analytics_query --help
# Run an SEO audit with JSON output
npx search-console-mcp run seo_audit --siteUrl=https://example.com --type=quick_wins
# Print array results as CSV or a table
npx search-console-mcp run analytics_query --siteUrl=https://example.com --startDate=2026-06-01 --endDate=2026-06-30 --dimensions=date,query --format=csv
npx search-console-mcp run sites_list --engine=all --format=table
```
Service Account setup (for servers/automation)
1. Create a service account in the [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/serviceaccounts)
2. Generate a JSON key
3. Add the service account email as a user in Search Console with "Full" or "Restricted" access
4. `export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/key.json"`

Backward Compatibility Notice (96+ Legacy Tools)
All legacy tool names (`bing_sites_list`, `seo_quick_wins`, `sitemaps_get`, `bing_index_now`, `indexing_submit_url`, `opportunity_matrix`, etc.) continue to work transparently via our fallback router.

## ๐ Security
- **OS keychain first** โ tokens stored in macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, or Linux Secret Service
- **AES-256-GCM fallback** โ encrypted with a key derived from your machine's hardware ID; a stolen file is useless on another device
- **Minimal storage** โ only `refresh_token` and `expiry_date` are persisted, at `mode 600`
- **Silent refresh** โ tokens renew automatically in the background
