How to integrate Google search console MCP with Codex

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Google search console MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or app, whichever you prefer.

Composio removes the Authentication handling completely from you. We handle the entire integration lifecycle, and all you need to do is just copy the URL below, authenticate inside Codex, and start using it.

Why use Composio?

Apart from a managed and hosted MCP server, you will get:

• CodeAct: A dedicated workbench that allows GPT to write its code to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling.
• Large tool responses: Handle them to minimise context rot.
• Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 870+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so GPTs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.

How to install Google search console MCP in Codex

Codex CLI

Run the command in your terminal.

This will auto-redirect you to the Rube authentication page.

Once you're authenticated, you will be able to access the tools.

Verify the installation by running:

codex mcp list

If you otherwise prefer to use config.toml, add the following URL to it. You can get the bearer token from rube.app → Use Rube → MCP URL → Generate token

[projects."/home/user/composio"]
trust_level = "untrusted"

[mcp_servers.rube]
bearer_token_env_var = "your bearer token"
enabled = true
url = "https://rube.app/mcp"

Codex in VS Code

If you have installed Codex in VS Code.

Then: ⚙️ → MCP Settings → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:

Add the Rube MCP URL: https://rube.app/mcp and the bearer token.

To verify, click on the Open config.toml

Make sure it's there:

[mcp_servers.composio_rube]
bearer_token_env_var = "your bearer token"
enabled = true
url = "https://rube.app/mcp"

Codex App

Codex App follows the same approach as VS Code.

1. Click ⚙️ on the bottom left → MCP Servers → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:

2. Restart and verify if it's there in .codex/config.toml

[mcp_servers.composio_rube]
bearer_token_env_var = "your bearer token"
enabled = true
url = "https://rube.app/mcp"

3. Save, restart the extension, and start working.

The Google search console MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Google Search Console account. It provides structured and secure access to your website’s search analytics and indexing data, so your agent can retrieve site lists, inspect URLs, manage sitemaps, and run detailed search performance queries on your behalf.

• Comprehensive site and sitemap management: Have your agent list all properties you own, fetch details about specific sitemaps, or submit new sitemaps for indexing to keep Google up to date.
• Automated URL inspection: Let your agent check the indexing status and uncover crawl or indexing issues for any URL in your properties, so you can spot and resolve problems quickly.
• Instant search analytics reporting: Ask your agent to pull granular performance metrics such as clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position for any site, page, or query segment.
• Bulk site and sitemap overview: Effortlessly retrieve a list of all sites and their associated sitemaps, making it easy to monitor your web presence at scale.
• Proactive index issue detection: Enable your agent to routinely review URLs and sitemaps for errors or warnings, helping you stay ahead of SEO issues without manual digging.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Google search console with Codex using Composio's Rube MCP server. Now you can interact with Google search console directly from your terminal, VS Code, or the Codex App using natural language commands.

Key benefits of this setup:

• Seamless integration across CLI, VS Code, and standalone app
• Natural language commands for Google search console operations
• Managed authentication through Composio's Rube
• Access to 20,000+ tools across 870+ apps for cross-app workflows
• CodeAct workbench for complex tool chaining

Next steps:

• Try asking Codex to perform various Google search console operations
• Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits
• Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities
