Limits & Pricing
How far back does my data go?
Google Search Console itself only retains the most recent 16 months of data. Anything older drops off Google's side and cannot be recovered, even with API access - this is a hard limit Google enforces on every Search Console user, including direct users of the official Google Search Console UI.
GSC PAP solves this with the Personal Archive feature. After you sign in, you can trigger a one-time backfill from /account/archive that pulls your entire 16-month native window into our database. From then on, our daily cron job fetches yesterday's data automatically (4 days behind today, because Google's analytics data takes 3-4 days to stabilize). Your archive grows day by day forever, with no cap on age.
When your AI assistant queries via the search_analytics_query MCP tool, we automatically serve from the archive when the query covers stable past data (older than 3 days) and from the live Google API for recent or unstable data. This means zero quota cost for historical queries, and you can ask questions like "show me query trends over the last 24 months" - far beyond what Google's UI allows.

All questionsLimits & Pricing
Is GSC PAP free? What are the limits?
Yes, GSC PAP is completely free during the public preview (v0.x). There is no credit card required, no trial expiration, and no premium feature gate. The only limits are technical ones to protect the service: 60 MCP tool calls per minute and 1,000 per hour per user. These limits are generous - typical AI assistant usage is 5-20 calls per question, so you can ask hundreds of questions per hour without hitting them.
Privacy & Security
Can other users see my data?
No. Your Search Console data, OAuth tokens, MCP sessions, archive, and tool call history are all isolated to your user account in our database. Every query passes through bearer-token authentication that resolves to a specific user, and every database query scopes results by user_id. There is no UI, API endpoint, or feature that exposes one user's data to another user.
Setup
Which AI clients support GSC PAP?
GSC PAP is exposed as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Any AI client that speaks MCP can connect. As of April 2026, the actively supported clients are Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Claude Code (the Anthropic CLI). All three implement the MCP HTTP transport that we use, so no extra adapter is required.
Skip the GCP project. Just sign in. Ready to plug this into Claude or Cursor? Sign in with Google, copy a token, paste a config block. ~60 seconds.
