All 32 tools

What each tool does, grouped by the job you would reach for it to do, followed by how results are shown, what they carry, where the limits are, and real output from the hosted instance.

The tools, by job

Every tool that reads a property also takes site_url, so one connection covers every property your Google account can see. Ask for list_properties to get the exact strings: sc-domain:example.com and https://example.com/ are different properties with different data.

Find the opportunity

Where the traffic you do not have yet is hiding.

quick_winsKeywords at positions 4–15 worth pushing to page one
ctr_opportunitiesPages with the impressions but a CTR far below par for their position
content_gapsDemand you already get impressions for but rank beyond 20
content_recommendationsQuick wins, gaps and cannibalisation cross-referenced into actions
topic_cluster_performanceHow a group of pages performs as one thing

Image search

Google's type=image surface, which most tools skip entirely.

image_keyword_overviewTop image-search keywords for the site
image_search_quick_winsImage queries at positions 4–15 with real impressions
image_pages_overviewPages ranked by image-search performance
image_keyword_trendsPeriod-over-period movement for image queries
image_impressions_no_clicksReal image impressions earning effectively zero clicks
image_content_decayThe decay check, run against image search
compare_web_vs_imageEach query side by side across web and image

AI search, and your account

The newer surface, plus the controls over your own data.

genai_conversation_queriesAI-conversation exhaust hiding in ordinary query data
set_default_propertySave a default property so later calls can omit it
export_my_dataEverything this server stores about you
disconnect_accountErase all of it and end your sessions

AI search, and your account: parameters and a real example →

The two indexing tools, submit_url and submit_sitemap, are part of the software but cannot run on this hosted instance: they need write access to your Google account, which this service never requests. They work on a self-hosted install configured with wider scopes. submit_url takes one URL or up to 200.

Interactive views

10 tools come with a view: in a client that supports the MCP Apps extension, the result is drawn as cards and sortable tables beside the conversation. A client without it shows the same result as text. Either way Claude reads the same data, so the analysis does not depend on the view.

The view is one small page that runs in the client's sandbox. It loads nothing from the network except one font from this site, follows no links, and treats every query and URL in a result as text, never as markup. Only tools that read have a view.

What every result carries

Limits and errors

WhatBehaviour
Date rangedays is 1 to 480, the 16 months Search Console keeps. A value outside it is refused before any call to Google.
Rows returnedTools return their top rows (usually 50). advanced_search_analytics takes row_limit up to 500.
Requests60 a minute per person by default; a batch counts once per message in it. Over the limit the server answers 429 and says when to retry.
Google's failuresA read that Google answers with a rate-limit or server error is retried twice. Writes and timeouts are never retried.
Error messagesPlain words and a next step: no access to that property (ask for list_properties), quota reached (wait), sign-in revoked (reconnect), or Google's own outage.
Erasing your accountdisconnect_account takes two calls: the first explains what will be erased, the second confirms it.

Real answers

One response per tool group, from this hosted instance against the author's own site, k-o.pro, on the date in each caption. They are shown as they came back, indented for reading, with rows trimmed where the caption says so. Results today also carry the borrowed-text warning described above, which was added after these were captured.

Find the opportunity · quick_wins
Asked: “What is k-o.pro almost ranking for? It's a small site, so go down to 5 impressions and position 20.”
quick_wins on the hosted instance, 13 October 2026
{
  "_meta": {
    "source": "Google Search Console API (live data)",
    "tool": "quick_wins",
    "parameters": {
      "days": 90,
      "min_impressions": 5,
      "max_position": 20,
      "site_url": "sc-domain:k-o.pro"
    },
    "note": "All numbers in this response come directly from the Google Search Console API. They are exact values, not estimates. Base your analysis only on this data. Do not invent or assume additional context."
  },
  "data": [
    {
      "query": "canonical check",
      "clicks": 0,
      "impressions": 22,
      "ctr": 0,
      "position": 15.6,
      "opportunity": 2
    }
  ]
}

One query qualifies on a site this size: "canonical check", 22 impressions at an average position of 15.6. The parameters Claude actually passed are in _meta, so the lowered thresholds are on the record rather than implied.

Diagnose the problem · cannibalization_check
Asked: “Is anything on k-o.pro competing with itself over the last 90 days?”
cannibalization_check on the hosted instance, 13 October 2026; first 2 of 7 queries shown
{
  "_meta": {
    "source": "Google Search Console API (live data)",
    "tool": "cannibalization_check",
    "parameters": {
      "days": 90,
      "min_impressions": 10,
      "site_url": "sc-domain:k-o.pro"
    },
    "note": "All numbers in this response come directly from the Google Search Console API. They are exact values, not estimates. Base your analysis only on this data. Do not invent or assume additional context."
  },
  "data": [
    {
      "query": "bulk redirect checker",
      "totalImpressions": 98,
      "pages": [
        {
          "page": "https://k-o.pro/bulk-redirect-checker/",
          "clicks": 0,
          "impressions": 21,
          "position": 17.5
        },
        {
          "page": "https://k-o.pro/bulk-redirect-checker",
          "clicks": 0,
          "impressions": 77,
          "position": 77.1
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "query": "url checker bulk",
      "totalImpressions": 48,
      "pages": [
        {
          "page": "https://k-o.pro/bulk-redirect-checker/",
          "clicks": 0,
          "impressions": 11,
          "position": 83.9
        },
        {
          "page": "https://k-o.pro/bulk-redirect-checker",
          "clicks": 0,
          "impressions": 37,
          "position": 85.7
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

The competing pages are the same tool at two URLs that differ only by a trailing slash. For "bulk redirect checker" the slash version averages position 17.5 while the other averages 77.1 and takes most of the impressions: a canonicalisation fix, not a content one.

Look it up · inspect_url
Asked: “Is the k-o.pro homepage indexed, and when was it last crawled?”
inspect_url on the hosted instance, 13 October 2026
{
  "_meta": {
    "source": "Google Search Console API (live data)",
    "tool": "inspect_url",
    "parameters": {
      "url": "https://k-o.pro/",
      "site_url": "sc-domain:k-o.pro"
    },
    "note": "All numbers in this response come directly from the Google Search Console API. They are exact values, not estimates. Base your analysis only on this data. Do not invent or assume additional context."
  },
  "data": {
    "url": "https://k-o.pro/",
    "indexed": true,
    "indexingState": "Submitted and indexed",
    "lastCrawlTime": "2026-10-02T21:35:12Z",
    "crawlAllowed": true,
    "indexingAllowed": true,
    "pageFetchState": "SUCCESSFUL",
    "googleCanonical": "https://k-o.pro/",
    "userCanonical": "https://k-o.pro/",
    "canonicalMatch": true,
    "mobileUsability": "VERDICT_UNSPECIFIED",
    "issues": [],
    "summary": "This URL is indexed and healthy. Last crawled: 2026-10-02T21:35:12Z."
  }
}

Indexed, last crawled on 2 October 2026, and Google picked the same canonical the page declares. When a URL is not indexed, the same fields say which state it is in.

Image search · image_page_audit
Asked: “Audit the images on the k-o.pro homepage.”
image_page_audit on the hosted instance, 13 October 2026
{
  "_meta": {
    "source": "Live fetch of the audited pages (the user's own site)",
    "tool": "image_page_audit",
    "parameters": {
      "urls": [
        "https://k-o.pro/"
      ],
      "fetch_metadata": true,
      "max_images_per_page": 6,
      "max_images_reported": 6
    },
    "note": "All findings come from fetching and parsing the listed pages and image files at call time. Alt text, attributes, bytes, and dimensions are read values, not estimates. Base your analysis only on this data. An empty alt (alt=\"\") is correct for decorative images; do not report it as a defect."
  },
  "data": {
    "audits": [
      {
        "url": "https://k-o.pro/",
        "status": "ok",
        "http_status": 200,
        "page_checks": {
          "total_img_tags": 17,
          "content_images": 0,
          "images_fetched": 0,
          "lcp_candidate_src": null,
          "lcp_candidate_lazy_loaded": null,
          "lcp_candidate_fetchpriority": null,
          "inline_background_images": 0,
          "max_image_preview": "not_set",
          "image_object_schema_count": 0,
          "has_licensable_fields": false,
          "has_primary_image_of_page": false,
          "images_with_srcset": 0,
          "modern_format_sources": false
        },
        "images": [],
        "images_not_reported": 0,
        "issue_counts": {},
        "top_fixes": [
          "Add ImageObject schema (with about/mainEntity) for the page's key images",
          "Add max-image-preview:large to the robots meta for full-size previews"
        ]
      }
    ],
    "overall": {
      "pages_audited": 1,
      "pages_failed": 0,
      "total_issues": 0,
      "note": "empty alt (alt=\"\") is correct for decorative images; it is reported but not counted as an issue."
    }
  }
}

Of the 17 img tags, none counted as a content image, so no image files were fetched. The two page-level fixes it returned are about previews and schema rather than the images themselves.

AI search, and your account · genai_conversation_queries

            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Four queries in 16 months, all low volume: two conversational questions, each landing on the post that answers it. No reply artefacts like "yes" or "go on" on this site, which the timeline confirms month by month.
