Bing Webmaster Tools

@bing-webmaster show me the top 10 search queries driving traffic to my site over the last 30 days

Here are the top 10 Bing search queries for your site in the last 30 days: 1) 'project management templates' (2,340 impressions, 187 clicks, 8.0% CTR), 2) 'agile sprint planning' (1,820 impressions, 145 clicks, 8.0% CTR), 3) 'kanban board examples' (1,510 impressions, 98 clicks, 6.5% CTR)… The list continues through query 10. Average position across these queries is 4.2. This data reflects Bing's search console aggregation and may differ slightly from real-time analytics.

This example uses the Get Search Performance tool to surface top-query insights. Requires API key authentication and a verified site in Bing Webmaster Tools. Data is typically delayed by 24–48 hours, so recent traffic won't appear immediately. Useful for understanding which Bing queries matter most to your organic reach.

@bing-webmaster submit my new blog post URL https://example.com/blog/new-feature to Bing's index and tell me how many submission slots I have left today

Submitted https://example.com/blog/new-feature to Bing's index. The URL is now queued for crawling. Your remaining daily quota: 8 URL submissions (out of 10), and your monthly quota shows 240 submissions remaining (out of 500). Note that submission does not guarantee immediate indexing—Bing will crawl the URL according to its scheduling priorities. Check back in 24–72 hours to confirm index status.

This example combines a URL submission action with a quota check (Get Submission Quotas). Submission is a write operation that consumes your daily and monthly allowances, so use it strategically for high-priority pages. The MCP does not control Bing's crawl schedule; indexing timing depends on site authority and crawl budget.

@bing-webmaster inspect the crawl status of /docs/api-reference and summarize any blocking issues preventing Bing from indexing it

Inspected /docs/api-reference. Bing last crawled this URL 3 days ago. Current index status: Not indexed. Blocking issue detected: robots.txt disallow rule on /docs/* is preventing Bing's crawler from accessing this path. The page returned HTTP 200 when fetched, but the robots directive takes precedence. To resolve, update your robots.txt to allow Bingbot access to /docs/, then request a re-crawl via the MCP or Webmaster Tools dashboard.

This example uses Inspect URL to diagnose indexing problems and pairs the raw diagnostic data with AI reasoning to surface the root cause. Requires the target URL to be part of a verified site. Crawl metadata reflects Bing's last visit, not real-time state. Useful for troubleshooting why specific pages aren't appearing in Bing search results.

When Bing Webmaster beats Google Search Console for multi-site teams

A three-person content team managing four marketing sites needs weekly crawl reports and query-performance snapshots without switching dashboards. Bing Webmaster Tools MCP wins here because the Get Crawl Diagnostics and Get Query Performance tools pull structured data into a single Switchy chat, letting the team compare crawl errors across properties in one view. The API_KEY auth means no OAuth dance per site. The threshold: if your traffic is 95% Google and you never check Bing rankings, the MCP adds noise. But if you're indexing on Bing for enterprise search or international reach, these 13 tools turn weekly manual exports into a five-minute Switchy query. Set it up once, run the same prompt every Monday, and your team sees crawl health and top-query shifts side by side.

How a two-person PR shop tracks backlinks without spreadsheets

A startup PR lead and one contractor publish guest posts and want to confirm which links Bing actually indexed. The Get Inbound Links tool reads link counts and provider pages for any target URL, so they paste a new article URL into Switchy and see inbound-link details in seconds. No CSV export, no pivot table. The catch: Bing's link index is smaller than Ahrefs or Semrush, so if you're chasing every tier-three blog mention, this MCP won't replace a paid backlink tool. But for verifying that your top-ten placements are indexed and tracking month-over-month growth, it's faster than logging into Webmaster Tools manually. The two-person team runs the same Switchy prompt after each campaign wave and compares link counts in chat history.

When to use this MCP for post-migration crawl checks

A solo dev just migrated a 200-page docs site to a new CMS and needs to confirm Bing is crawling the new sitemap. The Get Feeds and Inspect URL tools let her paste the sitemap URL and a handful of moved pages into one Switchy thread, then see submission status and index metadata without opening the Webmaster portal. The MCP shines for one-off validation tasks where you want answers in under a minute. The limit: if you're migrating a 10,000-page e-commerce catalog and need hourly crawl monitoring, the 13 tools here won't replace a dedicated crawl-budget dashboard. But for a small-to-mid-size migration where you check index status twice in the first week, this MCP turns a ten-click workflow into a single Switchy question.
