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
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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.
