This is a two-part setup: first link Search Console to SourcetoMCP like any other source, then add SourcetoMCP itself as a connector inside ChatGPT. Once both are done, ChatGPT can pull real clicks, impressions, CTR and position data straight from your verified sites instead of guessing.

Before you start

You'll need a SourcetoMCP account with at least one brand created, a Google account with owner or full access on at least one verified Search Console property, and a ChatGPT plan that supports connectors (this can sit behind a developer mode toggle depending on your plan).

1. Connect Search Console to SourcetoMCP

  1. 1From your dashboard, go to Connectors → Add a connection.
  2. 2Find the Google Search Console card and select Connect.
  3. 3Sign in with the Google account that has access to the property you want. This opens Google's own consent screen, not a SourcetoMCP form, and asks you to approve read-only access to your Search Console data.
  4. 4Back in SourcetoMCP, choose which verified site(s) to connect, then confirm. Each one shows up on your Connections page.

2. Add SourcetoMCP as a connector in ChatGPT

  1. 1In SourcetoMCP, open Connect an agent from the dashboard sidebar and copy your server address (it looks like https://sourcetomcp.com/api/mcp).
  2. 2In ChatGPT, click Plugins in the sidebar menu.
  3. 3Click the “+” sign in the plugins menu.
  4. 4Enter the name SourcetoMCPand paste your server address into the connection's server URL field.
  5. 5Tick the option and click Create.
  6. 6The first time ChatGPT uses it, you'll be asked to sign in to SourcetoMCP and approve access, the same OAuth approval you'd see connecting any other app. After that it reconnects automatically.

Once approved, the connection appears under Active connections on the Connect an agent page in SourcetoMCP, so you can see exactly what has access at any time.

3. Ask ChatGPT about your search performance

With both pieces connected, ChatGPT can query clicks, impressions, CTR and average position for a site, broken down by date, query, page, country or device. Try something like:

  1. 1What were my top 10 search queries by clicks last month?
  2. 2Compare clicks and impressions for the last 4 weeks, broken down by page.
  3. 3Which pages have high impressions but a low click-through rate?

Search Console data typically lags a day or two behind real time, so very recent dates may come back thin. That's expected, not a broken connection.

Troubleshooting

My site isn't in the list when connecting: the signed-in Google account isn't a verified owner or user of that property in Search Console. Add the account under Search Console's own Settings → Users and permissions, then reconnect.

ChatGPT doesn't show a Plugins option: this feature rolls out by plan. Check ChatGPT's own settings or plan details if you don't see it.

ChatGPT says it can't find the tool or has no data: reopen the connector in ChatGPT's Settings and confirm it still shows as connected; if not, remove and re-add it to trigger a fresh approval.

Revoking access

You can disconnect from either side. In SourcetoMCP, remove the site from your Connections page, or revoke ChatGPT's access entirely from the Connect an agent page. In ChatGPT, remove the connector from the Plugins menu.
