MCP connector · Yandex Webmaster

Yandex Webmaster, inside your AI assistant

Connect Yandex once and ask in plain language - “why did this page drop out of Yandex?”, “what is my site quality index?”, “recrawl my updated pages” - and the answer comes from your own Yandex Webmaster data, not a guess.

Example conversation
Which of my pages dropped out of Yandex search this week, and why?
yandex_get_search_events1 credit

Yandex removed 3 pages. The reasons it gives:

PageReason
/invoice?ref=mailDuplicate of a page already in search
/old-receiptRedirects; the target page is indexed
/tag/pdfHas a noindex robots meta tag

The first two are fine - Yandex kept the main URL. The tag page has a noindex tag; remove it if you want it found.

  2. Click "Add custom connector". Name: Yandex Webmaster. URL: use the Copy button above and paste it.

  3. Click Add, then Connect. Sign in to 500Toolbox and click Allow. Done.

Why Yandex too

What only Yandex can tell you

Site quality & diagnostics

Your Site Quality Index (SQI) and its history, plus every problem Yandex has found - robots.txt, DNS, SSL, sitemaps, duplicates - sorted by severity.

Why pages leave search

For each page Yandex drops, the exact reason: duplicate, non-canonical, noindex, redirect, HTTP error or low quality - and the URL it kept instead.

Recrawl on demand

Send new or updated pages to Yandex for recrawling within your daily quota, and see whether each request is in progress, done or failed.

How it works

Set up once in about two minutes

1

Connect Yandex

Sign in to 500Toolbox, then sign in with Yandex and approve access - or paste a token from your own Yandex OAuth app.

2

Add one URL to your AI app

Paste the server URL as a custom connector in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code and click Connect.

3

Ask in plain language

The assistant picks the right tool, pulls the data from Yandex and explains it - every number comes from a tool result.

What you can ask

Questions it answers from your Yandex data

“How did my site do in Yandex over the last 28 days?”

“What problems does Yandex see on my site, and which should I fix first?”

“Which of my pages dropped out of Yandex search, and why?”

“What is my Site Quality Index and how has it changed this year?”

“Which Yandex keywords am I ranking 5-15 for that I could push to the top?”

“I just updated 10 pages - send them to Yandex for recrawling.”

22 tools

Everything your assistant can do in Yandex Webmaster

Reports for traffic, site health, indexing and links, plus analysis tools that find the opportunities before the data reaches the model. Every tool name starts with yandex_, so it never gets mixed up with the Google or Bing connectors.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How do I connect Yandex Webmaster?

On the setup page, click "Sign in with Yandex" and approve 500Toolbox on Yandex's own screen. If you prefer, you can instead paste an OAuth token issued by your own Yandex OAuth app - the setup page walks you through it. Either way the token is checked with Yandex before it is saved, and both give the same tools.

What can the AI change in my Yandex Webmaster account?

Only three things, and only when you ask: send pages for recrawling, add a sitemap, or remove a sitemap you added (it confirms with you first). There are no tools that add or delete sites, change verification, settings or regions.

What does Yandex give me that Google Search Console does not?

Yandex's own view of your site: the Site Quality Index (SQI), a diagnostics list of problems by severity, the exact reason each page was removed from search, broken internal links and known external links. And, of course, your traffic from Yandex search itself, which matters most for audiences in Russia, Turkey, Kazakhstan and nearby markets.

What does it cost?

Each tool shows its credit price - most cost 1 credit, the performance summary, query report and recrawl cost 2, and listing sites, the account status and the recrawl quota are free. Your account gets free credits every month, and you are only charged when a call succeeds: anything that fails is refunded automatically.

Why do some queries not show up?

Yandex shares statistics for a site's 500 most popular queries per period through its API, and is usually a few days behind. Reports end on the newest day Yandex has reported, so the lag never looks like a traffic drop.

Is my Yandex token safe?

It is stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM), used only on our server to call Yandex, and never sent to your AI app. AI apps only receive the report results they ask for.

How do I disconnect?

On the Yandex Webmaster page of your dashboard, "Disconnect" deletes the stored token. You can also remove individual AI apps there, and withdraw 500Toolbox's access on Yandex's side at id.yandex.com (Data access).
