Add GSC PAP to Claude Code

Steps

1. 1

   Sign in to GSC PAP and copy your token

   Visit gscpap.com and click "Sign in with Google." Grant the read-only Search Console scope. The connect page shows your one-time bearer token. Copy it. The next step needs it inside a CLI command.

2. 2

   Run claude mcp add

   In any terminal, run the command below. Replace YOUR_TOKEN with the bearer from step 1. The --scope user flag makes the server available globally; switch to --scope project if you only want it in the current repo.

   shellCopy

   claude mcp add --transport http --scope user gsc-pap https://mcp.gscpap.com/mcp \
     --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

3. 3

   Verify and use

   Type claude inside any directory to start an interactive session. Run /mcp inside the chat to see registered servers - gsc-pap should be listed with 18 tools. Then ask: "List my Search Console sites and show top 5 queries on each from last week." Claude Code chains the tool calls automatically.

Common gotchas

• ·Run claude mcp list to see what is registered. Run claude mcp remove gsc-pap to delete the server (you can re-add later with a new token).
• ·If /mcp says "failed to reconnect," the most common cause is the MCP server having restarted in the meantime. Just retry - GSC PAP runs in stateless mode so reconnects are instant.
• ·The --scope user config lives in ~/.claude.json. You can edit it manually if needed, but the CLI is safer.
• ·Claude Code's terminal mode disables some color sequences. If JSON output looks scrambled, redirect to a file: claude > out.txt and read it after.
