Step 1: Verify Connection
Start by asking the agent what it can see. This verifies that the authentication is working. User Prompt:“List the sites I have access to in Search Console.”Expected Agent Response:
“I can see the following sites:
Step 2: Get a Basic Performance Summary
Now, ask for a high-level overview of a specific site. User Prompt:“Give me a summary of how https://example.com performed in the last 28 days compared to the period before.”The agent will likely use the
compare_periods tool to give you a breakdown of clicks, impressions, and CTR changes.
Step 3: Run an Intelligence Tool
This is where the power of the MCP shines. Instead of asking for data, ask for an analysis. User Prompt:“Can you find any ‘quick wins’ for https://example.com? I’m looking for pages ranking just off the first page that have high impressions.”The agent will use the
seo_quick_wins tool, which performs a deterministic filter to identify the best opportunities.
Step 4: Run a Site Health Check
Now try the health check tool to get an instant diagnostic across your properties. User Prompt:“Run a health check on all my sites and tell me which ones need attention.”The agent will use the
sites_health_check tool to check performance trends, sitemap status, and traffic anomalies — returning a status of healthy, warning, or critical for each site.
Tips for Success
- Specify the Site: Always include the
siteUrlin your prompt if you have access to multiple sites. - Be Outcome-Oriented: Instead of “show me my clicks,” say “analyze why my clicks dropped.”
- Context is King: Tell the agent what the site is about to get better qualitative insights.
