Client Configuration

If you prefer to set it up manually, here are the instructions for the most popular clients.

Claude Desktop

Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "search-console": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "search-console-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BING_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here",
        "GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS": "/path/to/your/service-account.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

That’s it! Environment variables are optional and only needed if you are using a Bing API Key or a Google Service Account.
