Google Search Console: Delete a sitemap — MCP tool

Google Search Console MCP tool: Removes a sitemap from Search Console.

Technical name: delete_sitemap

What task it solves

I want to delete a sitemap.

Removes a sitemap from Search Console.

When to use it

Use this capability when you need “Delete a sitemap” without doing the same work manually in the Google Search Console interface. It runs only when an AI client calls it.

What to provide

  • site_url — required. The property EXACTLY as registered in Search Console. Two formats: URL-prefix — a full URL with scheme and trailing slash, e.g. "https://example.com/" (http/https and www/non-www are different properties), or domain property — "sc-domain:example.com" (no scheme, no slash). A mismatched value returns 403/404; list_sites shows the exact registered values.
  • feedpath — required. The full sitemap URL, e.g. "https://example.com/sitemap.xml".

What it returns

Returns compact JSON from the upstream API or a clear MCP tool error. The exact fields depend on the operation and are documented in the technical reference.

What changes in Google Search Console

The source marks the entire “Delete a sitemap” call as destructive. The exact effect depends on the selected action and is described below; review the parameters and reversibility before calling it.

Example request

Delete a sitemap in Google Search Console. Ask for any required identifiers that are missing. Show me the exact change and wait for confirmation first.

Errors and limitations

This does not delete the file from the site, and Google may still discover it via robots.txt — it only removes the submission. Success is an empty API response (surfaced as { ok: true, deleted }). Requires the full webmasters OAuth scope.

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