Google Discover API and MCP server

Google has no API for the Discover feed, its story clusters or the follow, hide and Not interested controls. Sign in to Google Discover once in your own Cloud Browser, and your AI agent does the work there for you. The same tools work over MCP for agents and as a REST API for scripts.

Not affiliated with Google Discover.

Google Discover has no API for this. So we run one for you.

How do I connect Google Discover to Claude, ChatGPT or my code?

AI agents connect over MCP, scripts call the REST API. Both reach the same 13 tools with one API key.

    Add Cotlet to your agent

    Claude Code
    claude mcp add --transport http cotlet \
      https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 \
      --header "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY"
    Cursor

          "url": "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1",
          "headers": {
            "Authorization": "Bearer ${COTLET_API_KEY}"
          }
        }
      }
    }
    Codex
    # ~/.codex/config.toml
    [mcp_servers.cotlet]
    url = "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1"
    bearer_token_env_var = "COTLET_API_KEY"

    Paste the snippet for your client. The same server and key serve every app you connect, so you do this once.

For scripts: REST API

Every tool is an endpoint under /api/v1/google-discover with its own method and path, such as POST /api/v1/google-discover/publisher/follow, with the same API key. Our open-source repo has ready scripts to start from.

REST API docs

What can the Google Discover API and MCP server do?

13 tools on your own Google Discover account. Agents call them as operations of the MCP tools google_discover_read and google_discover_write; scripts call each one at its own REST endpoint, with the same inputs and answers.

Ask in plain words. Your agent does the rest.

Is it safe to connect Google Discover?

You sign in yourself in your own Cloud Browser, we never save your password, and anything that reaches your readers waits for your OK. The browser profile is encrypted in the EU. Independent scanners grade cotlet.dev A+.

How much do the Google Discover API and MCP server cost?

One price for both: a tool call costs the same over MCP or REST. Free 7-day trial with 2,000 credits, no card needed. Then one-time credit packs, no subscription, valid 12 months. Most calls use 25 credits, and your Cloud Browser uses 50 credits a day while Google Discover is enabled for agents, so 20 calls a day come to 550 credits.

Cotlet credit packs: price, credits and calls at 25 credits each
Credits Price, one time Calls at 25 credits Per 1,000 credits
5,000 $29 200 $5.80

32,000 $149 1,280 $4.66
60,000 $249 2,400 $4.15

Only successful calls use credits; failed calls and timeouts cost nothing. At a balance of 0 calls pause, never a surprise charge. Authenticate with the Authorization: Bearer header.

Questions

Does Google Discover have an API?

Google Discover has no API for the feed itself (checked 20 Oct 2026). The only official data is the Search Console Search Analytics API with type=discover, which returns clicks, impressions and CTR for your own properties. It does not return the cards a person sees, story clusters, or the follow, hide and Not interested controls.

How do I get access?

Sign up free, open Google Discover under Integrations in the console and press Request access. Your free trial starts with your account, no card needed.

Is the MCP server different from the API?

No, only the way in. Cotlet builds each integration as a REST API and puts an MCP server on top, so both have the same 13 tools, the same inputs and answers, one API key and one price. AI agents such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use MCP; scripts, cron jobs and HTTP steps in n8n, Make or Zapier use the REST API.

What is the Cloud Browser?

Your own Chrome that Cotlet runs for you in the EU, around the clock. You open it from the console, sign in to Google Discover yourself and press Enable for agents. Your agent's calls go through it, from its IP with its cookies, so Google Discover sees the browser you signed in with. Password saving is off and the profile is stored encrypted with AES-256-GCM.

Can my agent change anything?

Every Google Discover tool reads; none of them sends or publishes anything.

Is this the same data as a paid Discover analytics panel?

No. A panel sells feed data collected from many users. Cotlet reads the feed of the one Google account you sign in with, in the country of your Cloud Browser. Several Cloud Browsers in different countries give several feeds. The Search Console tools read your own properties only.

Why is a page missing from the Discover performance report?

Google shows Discover data for the last 16 months, and only for content whose impressions reached a minimum threshold. A page below it does not appear in get_discover_performance or list_top_discover_pages. Google also says being eligible for Discover is not a guarantee of appearing.

Does it read the desktop Discover feed?

No. The tools read the mobile feed on google.com and in the Google app. Google's help lists the Google app and google.com in an Android browser as places Discover is available.

Should I use a Google Discover MCP server from GitHub instead?

Pick one if you want the code on your own computer and do not mind the upkeep: you install it, sign it in and fix it when Google Discover changes. Pick Cotlet if you want it hosted and kept working for you.

Can I use it in n8n, Make or Zapier?

Yes. Add https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 in n8n's MCP Client node, or call the REST endpoints from an HTTP step in Make or Zapier.

Who runs Cotlet?

Cotlet is run by Take Group, a Polish software company working since 2019. Take Group runs about 3,200 websites on its own systems and has its own DevOps team for infrastructure security. We built and used integrations like this inside the company for years before opening them as Cotlet.

Is Cotlet affiliated with Google Discover?

No. Cotlet is independent and not affiliated with Google Discover.
