Lookup allowances reset monthly; Core Web Vitals checks reset daily. Google algorithm updates are free on every plan. Cancel anytime. ## Connecting Connecting uses **Google OAuth** (no API key for OAuth-capable clients). The full, always-current, client-by-client setup guide is published as agent- readable Markdown at https://www.advancedgsc.com/mcp/skill — fetch that to install the server in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Claude.ai, ChatGPT, or Claude Desktop. API-key clients (Windsurf, Zed, Antigravity) use an `Authorization: Bearer ` header with the server URL. After connecting, call `get_capabilities` to see the live plan, connected properties, and available tools — trust it over anything here. ## FAQ ### What is an MCP server? Model Context Protocol lets AI assistants call real tools and fetch live data. Our server gives any MCP-compatible AI client (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and others) direct access to your Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4. No copy-pasting. No exports. Just ask. ### Is my GSC and GA4 data secure? Your OAuth token is AES-256 encrypted at rest and we never store raw access tokens. We never sell your data or use it for training. By design, this product sends your GSC and GA4 data to the AI client you connect, so that data is subject to that provider's privacy policy. The in-app support assistant is powered by OpenAI and only receives your plan and connection context, never your raw site data. ### What can my AI do with MCP that it cannot do without it? Without MCP, you are the data pipe. You export a CSV, paste rows into the chat, and give the AI a static snapshot. It can only work with what you hand it. With MCP, the AI fetches what it needs, when it needs it. Ask "what pages dropped this month and why?" and it queries Search Console, pulls top queries, checks indexing status, and cross-references GA4, all in one go. If it needs 20 queries, it runs 20. You never touch an export. ### Can I cancel anytime? Yes, cancel from your dashboard at any time. Your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period. ### How is this different from the open-source version on GitHub? The open-source version runs locally, requires Python and a Google Cloud OAuth setup, and only works with desktop apps. This hosted version needs no install, works in web AI clients like Claude.ai and ChatGPT, and adds GA4 tools, advanced SEO tools, and direct support. The free version still works and we still maintain it. This is for people who want it done for them. ### Do I need to install anything? No. This is a hosted server. It runs on our infrastructure, not your computer. You sign in, connect your Google account, and paste one line of JSON into your AI client. Nothing to install, nothing to maintain. ### How long does setup take? A couple of minutes for most people. Sign in with your Google account, pick a plan, choose your properties, and connect your AI client. First-time setup may take a little longer if you need to install a new AI client. ### What support do I get? Every plan includes an AI assistant trained on this product. Ask it anything about setup, tools, or troubleshooting. You can also submit tickets to the developer directly from your dashboard. Pro and Max users additionally get access to the Academy: a library of tutorial videos covering every tool and workflow. --- _This is the Markdown representation of https://www.advancedgsc.com/mcp, served for AI agents.
