What to provide
path— required. API path relative to https://searchconsole.googleapis.com, e.g. "webmasters/v3/sites" or "v1/urlInspection/index:inspect".method— optional. HTTP method (the Search Console API uses only these four). Defaults to GET.body— optional. JSON request body (POST only; PUT endpoints here take no body).
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.

Example request
Raw Search Console API call 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
Two surfaces share the host: "webmasters/v3/..." (sites, sitemaps, searchAnalytics) and "v1/..." (urlInspection). siteUrl and feedpath are PATH SEGMENTS and must be URL-encoded (encodeURIComponent), e.g. "webmasters/v3/sites/sc-domain%3Aexample.com/sitemaps". The path may carry a query string. The Bearer token is added automatically; the method defaults to GET. Note: sites.add and sitemaps.submit are PUT with no body and return an empty response on success.
Access also depends on token permissions, quotas, and upstream API limits.
