Add GSC PAP to Windsurf IDE

Steps

1. 1

   Open Windsurf MCP settings

   Windsurf → Settings → Cascade → MCP Servers (or use Cmd/Ctrl + , and search "MCP"). The exact path varies slightly by Windsurf version; the panel is consistently named MCP / Model Context Protocol.

2. 2

   Sign in to GSC PAP and copy your token

   Visit gscpap.com → Sign in with Google → grant Search Console + GA4 scopes → copy the bearer token from the connect page.

3. 3

   Add gsc-pap as a remote MCP server

   Click "Add server." Choose remote/HTTP transport. Enter the URL, paste your token in the Authorization header field. Save.

   jsonCopy

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "gsc-pap": {
         "serverUrl": "https://mcp.gscpap.com/mcp",
         "headers": {
           "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
         }
       }
     }
   }

4. 4

   Reload Windsurf and ask Cascade

   Restart Windsurf so Cascade picks up the new server. Open Cascade and try: "Use the gsc-pap MCP. Show me my top 10 queries by clicks last week." Cascade routes through search_analytics_query and returns the table.

Common gotchas

• ·Cascade caches the tool list aggressively. If a tool you registered doesn't appear, restart Windsurf (not just reload window).
• ·If you see `Bearer token rejected`, the token may have been revoked. Mint a new one at /account/tokens.
• ·Windsurf on some platforms requires the .json config in `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`. Check Windsurf docs for your exact OS path if the in-app form doesn't persist.
