This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

YANDEX_WEBMASTER_TOKEN secret env
Yandex Webmaster OAuth token (webmaster:hostinfo). Optional if you run the `auth` login.
YANDEX_WEBMASTER_HOST_ID env
Default host id, so tools may omit hostId.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Yandex Webmaster MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: YANDEX_WEBMASTER_TOKEN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Yandex Webmaster MCP

Ask your Yandex Webmaster data in plain language — from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.

Read-only by design (plus URL recrawl), no secrets stored. Sign in with a

built-in public OAuth client over PKCE — no app registration, no client secret.

Early development (v0.1). The tool surface is still growing.

A Model Context Protocol server that exposes Yandex Webmaster as a small set of flexible, well-described tools instead of one-thin-wrapper-per-endpoint. Pairs with yandex-metrica-mcp: run both and an agent can cross-reference search queries from Webmaster with on-site behavior and conversions from Metrica in a single conversation.

Quickstart

1. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, …):

"mcpServers": { "yandex-webmaster": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@boxlab/yandex-webmaster-mcp"] } } }

2. Sign in — interactive, no secret needed:

npx @boxlab/yandex-webmaster-mcp auth

Approve access in the browser, paste the code Yandex shows you. The token is cached at ~/.config/yandex-webmaster-mcp/token.json (mode 0600).

3. Ask your agent — e.g. _"List my Webmaster hosts and show the SQI for example.com."_

Or install as a Claude Code plugin

/plugin marketplace add BoxLab-Ltd/yandex-webmaster-mcp

/plugin install yandex-webmaster-mcp@boxlab

Why

Existing community servers tend to be thin wrappers — one tool per API endpoint, dumping raw JSON into the model's context. This server aims to be well-engineered: fewer, smarter tools; compact, structured output; read-only by default so an agent can explore your Webmaster data safely.

Tools (v0.1)

`get_hosts` — list the sites available to your token with their host_id, URL and verification state; optionally a host summary (SQI, indexed/excluded pages, site problems). Read-only. Call this first.
`search_queries` — search-query analytics from Yandex Search: impressions, clicks, average show/click position. report="top" ranks the queries bringing the most traffic; report="trend" returns a time series (per query or the site aggregate). Filter by device and date range. Read-only.
`get_indexing` — how Yandex crawls and indexes the host. report="history" gives crawled pages by HTTP status class over time; report="crawled" lists example crawled URLs with their codes; report="in_search" lists example pages currently in search. Read-only.
`get_diagnostics` — problems detected on the site (DNS, slow response, robots.txt, 4xx, …) with severity, active problems first. Read-only.
`list_sitemaps` — the Sitemap files Yandex knows, with URL counts, error counts and where each was discovered. Read-only.
`get_external_links` — inbound links (backlinks): report="samples" for example links with source/target, report="history" for the count over time. Read-only.
`recrawl_status` — remaining daily recrawl quota plus recent recrawl tasks and their state; pass taskId to check one task. Read-only.
`recrawl_submit` — ask Yandex to recrawl a specific URL sooner. The one write tool; consumes one unit of the daily quota. Returns the task id.

_Planned:_ write tools for sitemaps, original texts and feeds, deferred to a later, opt-in release.

Requirements

Node.js >= 18
A Yandex account with at least one site added in Yandex Webmaster

Authentication

Three ways, in priority order:

Interactive login (recommended) — npx @boxlab/yandex-webmaster-mcp auth. Uses the built-in public OAuth client over PKCE; the token is valid ~6 months.
Static token — set YANDEX_WEBMASTER_TOKEN (e.g. for CI) to an OAuth token for an app with the webmaster:hostinfo scope.
Your own OAuth app — set YANDEX_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID (and YANDEX_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET to enable automatic token refresh). The app needs the webmaster:hostinfo and webmaster:verify scopes.

See .env.example for all configuration.

Development

Bun-first:

bun install

bun run dev # watch mode bun run typecheck bun run lint bun test bun run build # emits dist/ (Node-compatible) bun run try # smoke against the real API after bun run auth

The published package runs on Node; local development uses Bun.
