Replaces single-vendor (Ahrefs-only) tool defaults with a per-task backend menu across all 14 SEO skills. Each skill now lists every capable MCP in allowed-tools and documents how to pick between Semrush, Ahrefs, OurSEO Agent (CLI + MCP), DataForSEO, and GSC in its SKILL.md Data Source Selection section. Tool stubs (~40 new files) populated per skill with capability deltas, call patterns, and explicit "not for this skill when" callouts so the menu is self-correcting. Skills affected: 19-keyword-strategy, 20-serp-analysis, 21-position-tracking, 22-link-building, 23-content-strategy, 24-ecommerce, 25-kpi-framework, 26-international, 27-ai-visibility, 28-knowledge-graph, 31-competitor-intel, 32-crawl-budget, 33-migration-planner, 34-reporting-dashboard.

# Google Search Console
|
|
|
|
**First-party position data** — what Google actually rendered for the verified site. Estimates from Semrush/Ahrefs/DataForSEO are modelled; GSC is observed.
|
|
|
|
Two entry points:
|
|
|
|
1. **`our research search-console` CLI** — primary, cached, scriptable.
|
|
2. **Ahrefs `gsc-*`** — only when an Ahrefs project is connected to the GSC property.
|
|
|
|
## CLI commands
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
our research search-console queries --site sc-domain:<domain> --days 28
|
|
our research search-console pages --site sc-domain:<domain> --days 28
|
|
our research search-console combined --site sc-domain:<domain> --days 28
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`sc-domain:` prefix for Domain-verified properties. URL-prefix properties use the plain URL.
|
|
|
|
## Ahrefs GSC tools
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mcp__ahrefs__gsc-keywords(project_id="<id>", limit=100)
|
|
mcp__ahrefs__gsc-keyword-history(project_id="<id>", keyword="<kw>")
|
|
mcp__ahrefs__gsc-positions-history(project_id="<id>")
|
|
mcp__ahrefs__gsc-performance-by-position(project_id="<id>")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Strengths
|
|
|
|
- **Ground truth** — only first-party position source.
|
|
- Includes impressions and CTR per query — useful for visibility weighting beyond raw position.
|
|
- Anonymous-query data via `mcp__ahrefs__gsc-anonymous-queries`.
|
|
|
|
## Not for this skill when
|
|
|
|
- **Net-new keyword discovery** — GSC only shows queries the site already ranked for. Pair with Semrush/Ahrefs for discovery.
|
|
- **Competitor positions** — GSC is single-site.
|
|
|
|
