bing-webmaster-mcp · 7 data tools · read-only except URL submission
Bing Webmaster Tools,
as an MCP server.
The neglected half of most sites' search data. Claude gets query and page stats, crawl diagnostics, and quota-checked URL submission against your own Bing Webmaster account — with responses cleaned up enough to actually reason over.

Why the normalization matters
Bing's raw API speaks WCF JSON: every row carries a __type marker, dates arrive as /Date(1745564400000-0700)/, and stats come per-day, per-query. One modest site's raw GetQueryStats measured 68 KB — enough to drown an LLM context for no analytical gain. This server strips the markers, converts dates to YYYY-MM-DD, aggregates per query/page with impression-weighted positions, and returns the top 200 rows with an explicit note about what was truncated.

}Authentication model
Bing Webmaster Tools → Settings → API access → generate an API key, then hand it to the bing_setup tool. The key is validated against your account before it is stored — stored AES-256-GCM encrypted, never logged, and shown again only as a masked last-4 suffix via bing_auth_status. Upstream error text is redacted against the key before any message is produced. Rotate the key in Bing at any time; run bing_setup again with the new one.

Rate limits and quotas
- Our metering: 5,000 metered tool calls per month per property on paid plans, 200 on free provisional. Setup, status and check_quota are never metered.
- Bing's URL-submission quota is your account's, not ours — bing_submission_quota reads it live, and the tool description tells Claude to check it before bulk submits.
- Batches are capped at 500 URLs per call (Bing's batch limit).
What it does not do
- No Google data — this connector is Bing Webmaster only.
- No keyword research endpoints in v1 (Bing offers GetRelatedKeywords; it is on the changelog when it ships, not before).
- No competitor data: only sites verified in your own Bing Webmaster account.
- No writes except URL submission (bing_submit_urls, quota-checked).
- No uncapped dumps: query/page stats return the top 200 aggregated rows, stated in the response.
- No caching of your data: live API calls only; encrypted credentials and a usage counter are the only stored state.
