Summary
Connects Claude to both IndexNow and Google's Indexing API so you can programmatically request crawls without leaving your editor. You get six tools: submit individual URLs or entire sitemaps to IndexNow (which hits Bing, Yandex, Naver, and Seznam simultaneously), fire URLs at Google's API, check indexing status, generate API keys, and list supported engines. Handles batch submissions up to 10,000 URLs and includes sitemap parsing. Useful when you're publishing content programmatically and want immediate indexing signals sent to search engines rather than waiting for natural discovery. Requires an IndexNow API key (any UUID) hosted as a verification file and a Google OAuth token for their API.
