Introduction

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 the app, whichever you prefer.

Also integrate Google search console with

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

Run the setup command

Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex.

Terminal

It will initiate the authentication in a browser window, authorize Codex to access your Composio account.

Composio authentication page

(Optional) Authenticate with OAuth

To authenticate manually, run the login command to open a browser window and authorize Codex to access your Composio account.

bash
codex mcp login composio

Verify the connection

Run codex mcp list to confirm Composio appears as a registered MCP server.

bash
codex mcp list

Codex App

Codex App follows the same approach as VS Code.

  1. Click ⚙️ on the bottom left → MCP Servers → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:
  2. Fill the header and Key fields with { "x-consumer-api-key" = "ck_*******" }.
  3. The Key is the Composio API key, that you can find on connect.composio.dev
  4. Click on Authenticate and authorize Codex to your Composio account and you're all set.
Codex App MCP setup
  1. Restart and verify if it's there in .codex/config.toml
bash
[mcp_servers.composio]
url = "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp"
http_headers = { "x-consumer-api-key" = "ck_*******" }

What is the Google search console MCP server, and what's possible with it?

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.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Google search console MCP?

With a standalone Google search console MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Google search console tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Google search console and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Can I use Tool Router MCP with Codex?

Yes, you can. Codex fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Google search console tools.

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Google search console while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Google search console scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Google search console data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
