Pricing

Search Console has no paid tier. The BigQuery bulk export needs a Google Cloud project with billing enabled, so BigQuery storage and query charges can apply. Checked 2026-10-17. source ↗

How to use it with AI

How Google Search Console connects to each AI platform: native connector or MCP, API through code the agent writes, browser control, or file upload.

Claude (incl. Claude Code) No documented route Confirmed Claude (incl. Claude Code) can run code; Google Search Console publishes an API. Google Search Console API ↗Claude (incl.

Confirmed means both the tool's and the platform's official docs describe that route (links in the cell); IonBin has not tested every pairing. Not documented means it may work, but no official docs describe that route end to end. Checked Oct 17, 2026.
