Google Merchant Center: Get a data source — MCP tool

Google Merchant Center MCP tool: Returns one data source by its numeric ID (or full resource name): type, input (API/FILE/UI/AUTOFEED), feed configuration and fetch settings.

Technical name: get_data_source

What task it solves

I want to get a data source.

Returns one data source by its numeric ID (or full resource name): type, input (API/FILE/UI/AUTOFEED), feed configuration and fetch settings.

When to use it

Use this capability when you need “Get a data source” without doing the same work manually in the Google Merchant Center interface. It runs only when an AI client calls it.

What to provide

  • account — optional. Merchant Center account ID (digits, e.g. "123456"). Omit to use the GOOGLE_MERCHANTS_ACCOUNT_ID default.
  • data_source — required. Data source: numeric ID (e.g. "104628") or full name "accounts/{account}/dataSources/{id}". Product/promotion writes require an API-type data source (input: API), not a file feed.

What it returns

Returns one data source by its numeric ID (or full resource name): type, input (API/FILE/UI/AUTOFEED), feed configuration and fetch settings.

What changes in Google Merchant Center

The tool reads Google Merchant Center data and does not change it.

Example request

Get a data source in Google Merchant Center. Ask for any required identifiers that are missing.

Errors and limitations

Check input before calling fetch_data_source — only file-based feeds with fetch settings can be re-fetched.

Access also depends on token permissions, quotas, and upstream API limits.
