How to Connect Google Search Console to Hermes

Query your Google Search Console data directly from Hermes 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 Hermes using the config on this page. Hermes 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.

Connect to your agent
What you can ask Hermes
  • 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

Copy the Sequel MCP configuration into Hermes's settings file (shown below). Swap in your API key from Settings → API Keys.

3

Ask Hermes about your data

Restart Hermes 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.

Configuration

Add Sequel to Hermes

Place this in ~/.hermes/config.yaml and replace sql_your_api_key with a key from Settings → API Keys.

~/.hermes/config.yaml

mcp_servers:
  sequel:
    url: "https://api.sequel.sh/mcp"
    headers:
      Authorization: "Bearer sql_your_api_key"

Install

Install Google Search Console MCP in Hermes

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.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Google Search Console to Hermes?

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 Hermes using the setup shown above. Once both are done, Hermes can query your Google Search Console data directly.

What Google Search Console data can Hermes access?

Hermes 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 Hermes's servers?

Query results are returned to Hermes 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. Hermes will be able to query all of them.
