What is AskWatch?
AskWatch offers a free, hosted Google Search Console MCP server that lets users query their Search Console data in plain language from AI clients like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Claude Code. Setup requires only an email sign-in and a one-click Google consent screen — no Google Cloud project, OAuth configuration, or self-hosted server. It exposes 11 tools covering site overviews, traffic changes, keyword opportunities, cannibalization, and URL inspection.
