## Questions about the Google Search Console MCP

### Do I need a Google Search Console account?

Yes. Manifold reads data from properties you own and have verified in Search Console. Connect your Google account with OAuth in the app.

### Which Search Console data can my agent read?

Clicks, impressions, CTR and average position grouped by query, page, country, device or date. Sitemaps with their status and errors. URL inspection for index status, canonical and mobile usability.

### Can it read data for sites I don't own?

No. Console tools only read properties you have verified in your own Search Console account. For public SEO data on any site, the SEO tools read Google's public results. [SEO MCP](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/mcp/seo.md).

### Which clients does it work with?

Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Grok, OpenCode and any other client that connects to a remote MCP server. Sign in with OAuth, or use an API key from the dashboard for scripts. [Setup guides for every client](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/clients.md).

### What does it cost?

Console tools are free. Your own Search Console and Bing data costs nothing. Every workspace starts with 500 free credits for the SEO and social tools. [Plans and pricing](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/pricing.md).
