Google Search Console Automation via Rube MCP

Query search analytics, inspect URLs, manage sitemaps, and monitor search performance using Google Search Console via Advanced MCP.

Toolkit docs: claude-skills.ai/toolkits/google_search_console

Prerequisites

Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)

Active connection via

RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS

with toolkit

google_search_console

Verified site ownership or appropriate permissions in Google Search Console
Always call
```
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
```
first to get current tool schemas

Setup

Get Rube MCP: Add

https://rube.app/mcp

as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.

Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming
```
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
```
responds

Call

RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS

with toolkit

google_search_console

If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete setup
Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

Core Workflows

1. List All Verified Sites

Use

GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_LIST_SITES

to retrieve all sites the authenticated user owns or has access to.

Tool: GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_LIST_SITES
Parameters: (none required)
Returns: List of site entries with siteUrl and permissionLevel

2. Query Search Analytics

Use

GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_SEARCH_ANALYTICS_QUERY

to get search performance data including clicks, impressions, CTR, and position.

Tool: GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_SEARCH_ANALYTICS_QUERY
Parameters:
  - site_url (required): Site URL (e.g., "https://www.example.com/" or "sc-domain:example.com")
  - start_date (required): Start date in YYYY-MM-DD format
  - end_date (required): End date in YYYY-MM-DD format
  - dimensions: Group by ["query", "page", "country", "device", "date", "searchAppearance"]
  - search_type: "web" (default), "image", "video", "news", "discover", "googleNews"
  - dimension_filter_groups: Filters for dimensions (operator: equals, notEquals, contains, notContains, includingRegex, excludingRegex)
  - row_limit: Max rows (1-25000, default 1000)
  - start_row: Pagination offset (default 0)
  - aggregation_type: "auto", "byPage", "byProperty", "byNewsShowcasePanel"
  - data_state: "final" (default), "all", "hourly_all"

3. Inspect a URL

Use

GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_INSPECT_URL

to check the indexing status and issues for a specific URL.

Tool: GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_INSPECT_URL
Parameters:
  - inspection_url (required): Full URL to inspect (e.g., "https://www.example.com/page")
  - site_url (required): Property URL (e.g., "https://www.example.com/")
  - language_code: BCP-47 language (default: "en-US")

4. List Sitemaps

Use

GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_LIST_SITEMAPS

to retrieve all sitemaps submitted for a site.

Tool: GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_LIST_SITEMAPS
Parameters:
  - site_url (required): Site URL (e.g., "https://www.example.com/")
  - sitemap_index: Specific sitemap index URL to list sitemaps from

5. Submit a Sitemap

Use

GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_SUBMIT_SITEMAP

to register or resubmit a sitemap for indexing.

Tool: GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_SUBMIT_SITEMAP
Parameters:
  - site_url (required): Site URL or domain property (e.g., "sc-domain:example.com")
  - feedpath (required): Full sitemap URL (e.g., "https://www.example.com/sitemap.xml")

6. Get Sitemap Details

Use

GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_GET_SITEMAP

to retrieve information about a specific submitted sitemap.

Tool: GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_GET_SITEMAP
Parameters:
  - site_url (required): Site URL
  - feedpath (required): Sitemap URL to retrieve details for

Common Patterns

Performance monitoring: Use
```
GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_SEARCH_ANALYTICS_QUERY
```
with
```
dimensions: ["date"]
```
over a date range to track daily search performance trends.

Top queries report: Use

GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_SEARCH_ANALYTICS_QUERY

with

dimensions: ["query"]

to find the most clicked search terms.

Page-level analysis: Use
```
dimensions: ["page"]
```
to identify top-performing pages, then
```
dimensions: ["query", "page"]
```
to see which queries drive traffic to each page.
Indexing audit: Use
```
GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_INSPECT_URL
```
to check the indexing status of important pages.
Sitemap management: Use
```
GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_LIST_SITEMAPS
```
to verify submitted sitemaps, then
```
GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_SUBMIT_SITEMAP
```
to submit new or updated ones.
Country/device breakdown: Use
```
dimensions: ["country", "device"]
```
to understand geographic and device-type distribution of search traffic.
Filter for specific queries: Use
```
dimension_filter_groups
```
with
```
contains
```
or
```
includingRegex
```
operators to focus on specific keyword groups.

Known Pitfalls

Site URL format matters: URL-prefix properties use the full URL with protocol and trailing slash (e.g.,
```
https://www.example.com/
```
). Domain properties use the
```
sc-domain:
```
prefix (e.g.,
```
sc-domain:example.com
```
). Using the wrong format will return empty results or errors.
Date range limits: Data is typically available with a 2-3 day delay.
```
data_state: "all"
```
includes fresher data that may still change.
```
hourly_all
```
only works for dates within the last 3 days.
Row limit pagination: The API returns top results sorted by clicks (or by date when grouping by date). For complete data, paginate using
```
start_row
```
with the
```
row_limit
```
.
Max 25,000 rows per request: Even with pagination, each request returns at most 25,000 rows. For very large datasets, narrow your date range or add dimension filters.
Inspection URL must match site: The
```
inspection_url
```
must be a page under the
```
site_url
```
property. Cross-property inspections will fail.
Sitemap must be accessible:
```
GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_SUBMIT_SITEMAP
```
requires the sitemap file to be publicly accessible at the specified URL and properly formatted as XML.
Results sorted by clicks: By default, analytics results are sorted by click count descending, except when grouping by
```
date
```
(which sorts by date ascending).
