Search Console in Gemini CLI, from one command.

Search Console
Gemini CLI can talk to MCP servers, but Search Console needs a Google Cloud project and credentials before any server can read it. LopeBase skips that: connect with Google once, run one command, and Gemini CLI can read your search data.
Read only access to Search Console. Nothing to paste into settings.json.
What it looks like in Gemini CLI
One question, one tool call, and an answer built on your own Search Console numbers.
Which queries gained the most clicks this week across my sites?
read_sourcegsc-acmetop_queries
| query | clicks | impr. | pos. |
|---|---|---|---|
| free invoice generator | 318 | 7,240 | 4.1 |
| invoice number format | 122 | 2,980 | 3.6 |
| acme invoices | 97 | 140 | 1.0 |
free invoice generator leads with 318 clicks from position 4. It is your biggest non brand search; the page behind it is worth keeping fresh.
No Google Cloud console
Skip creating a project, enabling the API, and downloading credentials. Connect with Google in LopeBase does it.
All your sites from one sign in
Every Search Console property you connect is ready, so Gemini CLI can compare them in one answer.
Easy to confirm
Type /mcp and LopeBase is listed with its tools. If something is wrong, it says so there.
Add LopeBase to Gemini CLI
Three steps. The first is the same for every app; the rest is specific to Gemini CLI.
- 01
Connect Search Console to LopeBase. Start free, add your site, press Connect with Google, and pick the Search Console property. Domain and URL prefix properties both work. Google is only asked for read access.
- 02
Run
npx lopebasein your project folder. It signs this computer in and registers LopeBase with Gemini CLI, so you never paste a token intosettings.json. - 03
Start Gemini CLI and check. Type
/mcpto see LopeBase and its tools listed, then ask your question.
$ npx lopebaseWorks on macOS, Linux, and Windows with Node 18 or later. The same command can also set up Claude Code, Codex, opencode, or Cursor Agent if you use more than one.

Other ways to get Search Console into Gemini CLI
LopeBase is not the only route. Here is how it compares with the usual one.
| Topic | A community MCP server | LopeBase |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | A Google Cloud project, the API turned on, credentials, and an entry in settings.json. | npx lopebase and Connect with Google. |
| Credentials | A key file path in your settings. | Kept by LopeBase, encrypted. Gemini CLI never sees it. |
| Several sites | Depends on how access is set up for each. | Every connected property, each by name. |
| More than search | Search Console only. | GA4, Bing, PostHog, and revenue on the same server. |
| Best when | You want to run and change the server yourself. | You want it working in a few minutes. |
Search Console and Gemini CLI questions
Something else? Contact us.
Where does npx lopebase register the server?
With Gemini CLI's own MCP settings, using the command npx lopebase mcp. That command forwards to LopeBase with your saved sign in, so no token goes in settings.json.
Can I add it to Gemini CLI by hand?
Yes. Add a server named lopebase whose command is npx lopebase mcp, after signing in once with npx lopebase login.
Is this the same as the Gemini app?
No. This is for Gemini CLI in your terminal. LopeBase works in any client that can add a remote MCP server with sign in.
Does Google need to approve anything?
Only the one time Connect with Google screen, which asks for read access to Search Console.
What if my data looks two days behind?
That is Search Console itself. Google publishes search data with a delay of about two days.
