In short
mcp-gsc, by Amin Foroutan, is a free, open-source Python server that you run on your own computer with your own Google Cloud credentials, and it covers Google Search Console. mowteng is a hosted server: one URL and a Google sign-in, with Bing, Yandex and IndexNow added. If you want free and local, mcp-gsc is a good choice; if you want no setup and more than Google, mowteng is.
Where mowteng leads
| mowteng | mcp-gsc | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Hosted. You add https://mowteng.app/mcp; it works in web, desktop and mobile assistants that support remote MCP. | On your machine (stdio) by default, or on your own server. Its README says it works in the Claude Desktop app, not in claude.ai in the browser. |
| Setup | Add the URL and sign in with Google. No Google Cloud project, API key or service account. Bing and Yandex connect with their own sign-in. | Create a Google Cloud project, enable the Search Console API, create an OAuth desktop client or a service account, then run it with uv (Python 3.11 or later). |
| Engines | Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, Yandex Webmaster and IndexNow. | Google Search Console only. |
| Assistants | Setup pages for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity and Windsurf. | Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Antigravity and other MCP clients that run local servers. |
