## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

## MCP tools (8)

### `list_sites` (~60 tokens)

List my sites

Lists every Search Console property the credentials can read, with the access level of each. Call this first when the user has not named a site, or when another tool says a site was not found. Read-only. Returns a table of property URLs and permissions.

### `site_overview` (~178 tokens)

Site overview

The first tool to call for any question about how a site is doing on Google. Returns total clicks, impressions, CTR and average position for the period against the period before (totals match the Search Console UI), the pages that gained and lost the most clicks, and up to 3 plain-language things to do now. For custom breakdowns use search_performance instead. Read-only.

Input parameters:

- `days` (integer): Length of the period in days, 7 to 480, ending about 3 days ago because Google data lags. It is compared with the same number of days right before it. Default 28.
- `site` (string, required): The Search Console property to read. Accepts "example.com", "https://example.com/" or "sc-domain:example.com". Call list_sites first if unsure which properties exist.

### `search_performance` (~325 tokens)

Search performance (custom)

Custom Search Console report when site_overview is not specific enough: group by query, page, country, device or date (up to two at once), filter by query or page text, sort, and optionally add the change against the previous period. Returns a table with clicks, impressions, CTR and position per row. Read-only.

Input parameters:

- `compare_previous` (boolean): Add each row's change against the previous period of the same length. Default false.
- `days` (integer): Length of the period in days, 7 to 480, ending about 3 days ago because Google data lags. It is compared with the same number of days right before it. Default 28.
- `filter_page` (string): Keep only pages whose URL contains this text, e.g. "/blog/".
- `filter_query` (string): Keep only search queries that contain this text (case-insensitive), e.g. a brand or product name.
- `group_by` (array): One or two dimensions to break the numbers down by, e.g. ["query"] or ["page", "query"]. Default ["query"].
- `limit` (integer): Maximum rows to return, 1 to 200. Default 25.
- `site` (string, required): The Search Console property to read. Accepts "example.com", "https://example.com/" or "sc-domain:example.com". Call list_sites first if unsure which properties exist.
- `sort_by` (string): Which number to sort rows by, highest first (position: best first). Default clicks.

### `find_opportunities` (~187 tokens)

Find opportunities

Finds the quickest wins: queries seen often but rarely clicked (rewrite the title or description), queries ranking #8 to #20 (one push from page one), and pages losing clicks. Use when the user asks what to improve or where to start. Returns each item with its numbers and the suggested fix. Read-only.

Input parameters:

- `days` (integer): Length of the period in days, 7 to 480, ending about 3 days ago because Google data lags. It is compared with the same number of days right before it. Default 28.
- `limit` (integer): Maximum items per kind of opportunity, 1 to 50. Default 15.
- `site` (string, required): The Search Console property to read. Accepts "example.com", "https://example.com/" or "sc-domain:example.com". Call list_sites first if unsure which properties exist.

### `inspect_url` (~151 tokens)

Check if a page is indexed

Asks Google's URL Inspection API about one page: whether it is indexed, the coverage state, last crawl time, the canonical Google chose versus the one you declared, and robots or fetch problems. Use for "is this page on Google?" questions. For on-page problems use page_check. Read-only; Google allows about 2,000 inspections a day per property.

Input parameters:

- `site` (string, required): The Search Console property to read. Accepts "example.com", "https://example.com/" or "sc-domain:example.com". Call list_sites first if unsure which properties exist.
- `url` (string, required): Full URL of the page to inspect, including https://. It must belong to the site given.

### `page_check` (~97 tokens)

Check one page

Fetches one public page the way a search engine does and checks the title, meta description, canonical, noindex and robots.txt, H1 headings, word count, image alt text and structured data. Returns what it found and a list of problems in order of importance. Works without any Google credentials. Read-only: it only downloads the page.

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required): Full URL of any public page to check, including https://.

### `algorithm_updates` (~81 tokens)

Google updates

Google's official ranking and spam update history from the Google Search Status Dashboard, with start and end dates. Use it when traffic changed suddenly, to see whether an update lines up, before blaming the site's own edits. Needs no credentials. Read-only.

Input parameters:

- `days` (integer): How many days back to list updates, 7 to 365. Default 90.

### `sitemaps` (~106 tokens)

Sitemap status

Lists the sitemaps submitted for the site in Search Console, with when Google last read each one, errors, warnings and how many URLs it contains. Use for indexing questions about many pages at once. Read-only; it does not submit or change sitemaps.

Input parameters:

- `site` (string, required): The Search Console property to read. Accepts "example.com", "https://example.com/" or "sc-domain:example.com". Call list_sites first if unsure which properties exist.
