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
GSC's Coverage + Crawl Stats reports are the first-party Googlebot view — what Google considers crawled, indexed, or excluded. Pair with server access logs (the origin view) and OurSEO crawl (the published view) for a complete crawl-budget audit.
CLI access
our research search-console queries --site sc-domain:<domain> --days 28
our research search-console pages --site sc-domain:<domain> --days 28
sc-domain: prefix for Domain-verified properties.
Note: full Coverage and Crawl Stats report data is mostly UI-only in GSC — the API exposes performance (queries / pages) but limited crawl-stats fields. For exhaustive crawl analysis, export via the GSC UI and parse alongside log output.
Ahrefs GSC alternates
When the site is connected as an Ahrefs project:
mcp__ahrefs__gsc-pages(project_id="<id>")
mcp__ahrefs__gsc-pages-history(project_id="<id>")
mcp__ahrefs__gsc-positions-history(project_id="<id>")
How GSC pairs with the rest
| Source | Shows |
|---|---|
| Server logs | What hit the origin (bot behaviour at HTTP level) |
| OurSEO crawl | What URLs exist on the site today |
| Sitemap | What URLs the site claims to publish |
| GSC | What Google considers indexed / excluded |
The intersection (and differences) reveal:
- Crawled-not-indexed: Google saw it, won't index — often thin content or duplicates.
- Indexed-not-crawled-recently: bot budget moved elsewhere.
- Discovered-not-crawled: Google knows about the URL but hasn't fetched it.
Not for this skill when
- Korean bots (Yeti, Daumoa) — GSC is Google-only.
- Bot User-Agent + IP analysis — server logs.
