| Client coverage details | Not documented | Claude Code✓ Local stdio Claude Desktop✓ Local stdio Codex✓ Local stdio VS Code✓ Local stdio Cursor✓ Local stdio OpenCode✓ Local stdio |
| Client coverage note | Local stdio runs on your computer. Streamable HTTP connects to a remotely hosted MCP server. | |
| Access and data | ||
| Authentication | Apollo.io OAuth through the user's Apollo account. | Uses Google OAuth client-secrets JSON and browser login, or a Google service-account JSON whose email has access to the Search Console property. |
| Cost | Some MCP actions, including enrichment, consume Apollo credits. The account's plan and credit balance therefore affect usage cost/availability. | The MIT-licensed server lists no MCP fee. Google Cloud or Search Console quota and billing implications are not documented. |
| Permissions | The server acts with the authenticated user's Apollo workspace permissions and can only access/perform actions allowed to that account. | Lists Google Search Console properties and reads analytics, URL inspection, and sitemap data. Site and sitemap add/delete tools are disabled unless GSC_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE=true. |
| Data handling | Requests are sent to Apollo's hosted MCP endpoint and interact with Apollo data under the authenticated account. Apollo's reviewed MCP documentation advises avoiding unnecessary sensitive information in prompts. | Search Console properties, queries, pages, crawl and indexing results, and sitemap data are returned to the connected client. OAuth tokens are saved for reuse; service-account JSON is read from a configured path. Further retention is not documented. |
| Limitations | ||
| Tradeoffs |
|
|
| Risk context | The MCP can create contacts and add/remove contacts from outreach sequences. Sequence enrollment may trigger external outbound activity; enrichment can consume credits. | Can expose private Search Console data and, when explicitly enabled, modify sites or sitemaps. Protect credential files, leave destructive tools disabled unless required, and restrict remote SSE deployments. |
