Query your Google Search Console data directly from dots using Sequel’s MCP server. Ask questions in plain English, with no SQL, no dashboards, and no context switching.

Short answer

Connect Google Search Console to Sequel, then add Sequel's MCP server to dots using the config on this page. dots can then query your live Google Search Console data in plain English, with no connector code and no CSV exports. Both steps take a few minutes.

Example prompts

Everything you can ask dots about your Google Search Console data.

Ask in plain English — Sequel translates it into a Google Search Console query, runs it, and dots hands back the answer. No SQL, no dashboards, no CSV exports.

What you can ask dots
  • What are my top 10 queries by clicks this month?
  • Which pages lost the most impressions compared to last month?
  • Show me queries ranking between position 8 and 15 with more than 1,000 impressions
  • What's the average CTR by device type?
  • Which countries send the most organic traffic?

How it works

Three steps to get started

1

Connect Google Search Console to Sequel

In your Sequel dashboard, go to Connections and add Google Search Console. Sequel handles authentication and schema discovery automatically.

2

Add Sequel to the agent

Follow the steps below to add Sequel to dots. It signs in with your Sequel account over OAuth, so there is no key to copy.

3

Ask dots about your data

Restart dots and start asking questions. "What are my top 10 queries by clicks this month?" — and get a real answer backed by live Google Search Console data.

Why dots

What dots does with your Google Search Console data

No separate setup for the dot

There is no "connect apps to your dot" step for custom connectors. Anything installed under Settings → Plugins, including a developer-mode MCP connector, is available to the dot from its first message, and the same plugin serves ChatGPT, Codex and your dots.

It keeps working after you leave

A dot runs on its own cloud computer and pursues goals in the background, so it can use Sequel inside a scheduled task: the Monday morning numbers, a daily spend-versus-revenue check, an alert when signups fall off their trend.

Read-only by default, on both sides

Sequel marks its tools read-only and shows each query before it runs. Set the Sequel plugin to "Allow read-only tools" and reads run freely while anything that changes something has to ask, so a dot acting on its own initiative cannot touch your data.

Configuration

Add Sequel to dots

Use it in ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors (developer mode). dots signs in with your Sequel account over OAuth, so there is no API key to paste.

ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors (developer mode)

Server URL:
https://api.sequel.sh/mcp

Authentication:
OAuth, sign in with Sequel when ChatGPT asks

Then: Settings → Plugins → Sequel → Allow read-only tools

Install

Install Google Search Console MCP in dots

Pick your app and Sequel installs itself: a one-click link where the client supports it, that client’s own few steps where it doesn’t. Every route signs in with your Sequel account over OAuth, so there is no API key to copy and nothing to keep in sync.

Already have an MCP client?

https://api.sequel.sh/mcp

Add it as a remote (streamable HTTP) server and sign in when prompted. Skills come with it; nothing else to install. Manual setup per client

Add Sequel to dots

Server URL

https://api.sequel.sh/mcp
  1. 1In ChatGPT, open Settings and turn on Developer mode. It needs a paid plan, and in a workspace an admin may have to grant it.
  2. 2Add a connector, name it Sequel, paste the URL and leave authentication on OAuth. Sign in to Sequel in the window that opens.
  3. 3Under Settings → Plugins, set Sequel to “Allow read-only tools”.
  4. 4Your dot has it already. Ask it “which apps can you use right now?” to confirm.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Google Search Console to dots?

You need two things: (1) connect Google Search Console to Sequel in your Sequel dashboard under Connections, and (2) add the Sequel MCP config to dots using the setup shown above. Once both are done, dots can query your Google Search Console data directly.

What Google Search Console data can dots access?

dots can access any data available through your Google Search Console connection in Sequel. Use Sequel's search tool to discover available metrics and dimensions, then execute queries to pull the data you need.

Is my Google Search Console data sent to dots's servers?

Query results are returned to dots as context within your conversation. Only the data you explicitly ask about is retrieved. Sequel never stores your query results permanently — they exist only for the duration of the tool call.

Do I need a Sequel account?

Yes. You need a Sequel account to connect Google Search Console and generate an API key. Sign up free at sequel.sh — no credit card required. Then create a connection to Google Search Console and generate an API key from Settings → API Keys.

Can I connect multiple Google Search Console accounts?

Yes. Sequel supports multiple connections of the same type. If you have multiple Google Search Console accounts or properties, add each as a separate connection in Sequel. dots will be able to query all of them.

Can an OpenAI dot use a custom MCP server?

Yes. A connector added through developer mode in ChatGPT is available to your dot with no extra step, because a dot has access to the plugins installed on your ChatGPT account. The same connector works in a normal chat, in Codex, and inside the dot's scheduled tasks.

How do I add Sequel to my dot?

In ChatGPT, turn on developer mode in Settings, add a new connector named Sequel with the URL https://api.sequel.sh/mcp, choose OAuth, and sign in to Sequel in the window that opens. Then ask your dot "which apps can you use right now?" Sequel should be one of them.

What do I need to use dots with Sequel?

A dot (included with ChatGPT Pro and Business Premium in eligible markets), developer mode for custom connectors, which is paid-plan only and may need a workspace admin's permission, and a Sequel account with at least one source connected.

Which permission level should I give the Sequel plugin?

"Allow read-only tools" is the right default: Sequel flags each tool, so reads run without interruption while anything that changes something asks first. Note that an explicit request in the conversation counts as your approval, so the level protects you from the dot acting unprompted only.

How do I connect Google Search Console?

Click 'New Connection', select Google Search Console, give it a name, and connect with Google OAuth. Sequel requests read-only access. The process takes under a minute.

Why is there a delay in Search Console data?

Google Search Console data typically lags 2–4 days. This is a Google limitation. Sequel queries GSC directly and shows exactly what is available.

What data does Sequel pull from Search Console?

Sequel accesses the GSC Search Analytics API, including clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position, breakable down by query, page, device, country, and date.

Can I query Search Console data alongside Google Analytics?

Yes. Connect both sources and ask cross-source questions like 'Which pages have high GSC impressions but poor GA4 engagement?'
