--- title: "Google Search Console MCP Server for Cursor · GSC PAP" source: https://gscpap.com/integrations/cursor updated: 2026-09-18 --- [All integrations](https://gscpap.com/integrations) Integration · Cursor # Connect Cursor to Google Search Console 5 steps · about 5 minutes By the [GSC PAP team](https://gscpap.com/about) · Updated September 18, 2026 Cursor is an AI code editor whose agent can call Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools. Add GSC PAP as a remote MCP server and the agent can read your Search Console clicks, impressions, CTR and average position without leaving the editor. Once it is connected, you can ask things like "compare my top queries this week vs. last week" or "find pages where impressions dropped 20% in the last 30 days" in the same place you edit those pages. This guide assumes you have Cursor installed and are signed in. If not, download it from cursor.com. ## How to connect Google Search Console to Cursor 1. ### Sign in to GSC PAP and copy your token Go to gscpap.com and click "Sign in with Google." Approve the read-only access it asks for. The connect page then shows your bearer token once, so copy it now. You paste it into Cursor's config in step 3. If you lose it, create a new one at app.gscpap.com/account/tokens; your other tokens keep working. 2. ### Open Cursor's MCP config file For a server that works in every project, use the global mcp.json in your home directory. Create the file if it does not exist. Cursor also reads .cursor/mcp.json inside a project, but that file often ends up in git, so keep your token out of it (see the issues below). ```shell # macOS, Linux ~/.cursor/mcp.json # Windows %USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json ``` 3. ### Add the GSC PAP server Paste the block below and replace YOUR_TOKEN with the token from step 1. If the file already lists other servers, add the gsc-pap entry inside the existing mcpServers object instead of pasting a second one. ```json { "mcpServers": { "gsc-pap": { "url": "https://mcp.gscpap.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" } } } } ``` 4. ### Check that Cursor loaded the server Open Cursor Settings and go to Tools & MCPs. (Cursor's docs also describe this list under Customize in the sidebar.) Find gsc-pap and make sure its toggle is on. Once it connects, its tools, such as list_sites, search_analytics_query and find_quick_wins, become available to the agent. 5. ### Ask a Search Console question Open the agent chat and ask: "What are my top queries by clicks this week?" Cursor uses MCP tools from its Available Tools list when they fit the request, and you can also name a tool, for example "use list_sites". By default, Cursor asks for your approval before it runs an MCP tool. ## Cursor MCP setup: common issues - A tool call that fails with "Missing or invalid bearer token" means the token in mcp.json is wrong or was revoked. Create a new one at app.gscpap.com/account/tokens and paste it in. - If gsc-pap does not appear after you save mcp.json, check the file for JSON mistakes such as a trailing comma, then toggle the server off and on, or restart Cursor. - The URL must be exactly https://mcp.gscpap.com/mcp, including the /mcp path. - To keep the token out of a project-level .cursor/mcp.json, write the header value as "Bearer ${env:GSC_PAP_TOKEN}". Cursor fills in ${env:NAME} in url and headers from its environment, so GSC_PAP_TOKEN has to be set in the environment Cursor starts from. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do I need a Google Cloud project to use Search Console in Cursor? No. Running your own Search Console MCP server means creating a Google Cloud project, enabling the Search Console API, creating OAuth credentials, and looking after a JSON credentials file and refresh tokens. GSC PAP is already hosted: you sign in with Google at gscpap.com, copy one bearer token, and paste it into ~/.cursor/mcp.json. ### Is the GSC PAP MCP server free to use with Cursor? Yes, while GSC PAP is in public preview. There is no credit card, no trial that runs out, and no paid tier holding tools back. Usage is capped at 60 MCP tool calls per minute and 1,000 per hour per user. ### Why doesn't Cursor show the gsc-pap tools after I edit mcp.json? Check that the file is valid JSON and that the gsc-pap entry sits inside mcpServers. Then open Tools & MCPs in Cursor Settings, make sure gsc-pap is toggled on, and restart Cursor if it still shows no tools. If the server reports a token error, create a new token at app.gscpap.com/account/tokens. ## Other integrations [All integrations](https://gscpap.com/integrations) [ ### Claude Desktop Connect Claude Desktop to Google Search Console without creating a Google Cloud project.
