3. Verify Installation

After configuration, you should be able to:

• See "bing-webmaster" in your MCP servers list
• Use commands like "Show me all my sites in Bing Webmaster Tools"
• Access all Bing Webmaster Tools functions

Troubleshooting

"Could not attach to MCP server" error:

1. Check your API key is correct
2. Ensure you have internet connectivity
3. For Claude Desktop: Check logs in Settings → Developer → Open Logs Folder
4. For Claude Code: Run with claude --mcp-debug

"spawn mcp-server-bing-webmaster ENOENT" error:

• Make sure you're using npx as the command, not mcp-server-bing-webmaster
• If you have an old global installation, uninstall it: npm uninstall -g @isiahw1/mcp-server-bing-webmaster
