Which AI clients support GSC PAP?
By the GSC PAP team · Updated
GSC PAP is exposed as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Any AI client that speaks MCP can connect. We have setup guides for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code (the Anthropic CLI), Claude.ai Connectors, OpenAI Codex CLI, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Zed, JetBrains AI Assistant and Continue, plus direct HTTP for custom agents. See /integrations for each one.
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard published by Anthropic in late 2024. It lets AI assistants call external tools through a uniform JSON-RPC interface, with the server advertising what tools it has and the client invoking them as the conversation needs them. Any new AI client that adds MCP support will work with us automatically - no changes on our side.
If your client only supports stdio-mode MCP (an older transport), you can wrap our HTTP endpoint with a small bridge such as mcp-proxy. As more clients add MCP support, we add setup guides for them once they reach a usable state.

How do I add GSC PAP to Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code?
The flow is the same for all three clients: sign in with Google at gscpap.com, copy the bearer token shown on the connect screen, then paste a JSON config or run a single CLI command in your AI client. Total time about 60 seconds, all from the same web page.

Do I need a Google Cloud project to use GSC PAP?
No. The whole reason GSC PAP exists is to remove the Google Cloud setup step. When you sign in with Google through gscpap.com, you grant permission to our OAuth client (which we registered with Google one time). We then call the Search Console API on your behalf using your refresh token. You never touch the Google Cloud Console.

How do I revoke access?
You have three independent ways to revoke. First, revoke a single MCP token from /account/tokens - this kills only that bearer, leaving other tokens (e.g. on different machines) working. Useful if you suspect one token has been exposed but want to keep using GSC PAP elsewhere.
