What is the Google Analytics MCP Server and what can it do?

It's a Model Context Protocol server for Google Analytics 4 that gives AI agents real-time query exploration, schema discovery, metric aggregation and audience insights. It exposes eight tools including `get_ga4_data` for running reports, `list_accounts` and `list_properties` for account management, `get_property_metadata` for schema discovery, `run_realtime_report` for checking active users in the last 30 minutes, and skill tools for accessing built-in analytical playbooks.

What analytical playbooks are included?

The server includes four main playbooks: `traffic-diagnosis` for root cause analysis of traffic drops, `channel-acquisition` for channel grouping and attribution modeling, `ecommerce-analysis` for revenue and conversion funnels, and `ai-referral-analysis` for tracking referral traffic from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini.

How do I install the Google Analytics MCP Server?

You can use a one-line universal installer: `claude mcp add google-analytics -- uvx google-analytics-mcp`. Alternatively, run it directly with `uvx google-analytics-mcp`, `python -m ga4_mcp`, or `npx -y @surendranb/google-analytics-mcp` depending on your environment.

What credentials and setup does the Google Analytics MCP Server require?

You need a GA4 property and Google credentials. Claude Desktop configuration requires setting the `GA4_PROPERTY_ID` environment variable and pointing `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` at a service account JSON file.

Does this server collect telemetry, and can I opt out?

Yes, it collects anonymous, non-PII diagnostic telemetry (command executions, latency and error codes) to improve reliability, but does not collect queries, credentials, personal data, source code or environment variables. You can opt out by setting `DO_NOT_TRACK=1` or `MCP_TELEMETRY_OPT_OUT=1`.

Overview

An MCP server for Google Analytics 4. It provides eight tools for reports, account and property listing, schema metadata, real-time queries and built-in analytical playbooks for AI agents. Use it when an agent needs live GA4 data for reports, real-time checks, schema lookups or guided diagnosis of traffic changes.

What it does

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Google Analytics 4 (GA4). It gives AI agents real-time query exploration, schema discovery, metric aggregation and audience insights over GA4 data. It is published on PyPI as google-analytics-mcp and on npm as @surendranb/google-analytics-mcp, under the MIT license, with a live documentation portal.

It exposes eight tools:

get_ga4_data runs multi-dimensional GA4 reports from lists of dimensions, metrics and date ranges plus a limit, with automated metric totals and server-side aggregation, returning JSON or Markdown.
list_accounts lists all accessible Google Analytics accounts and permission levels.
list_properties lists the GA4 properties associated with an account, taking an optional account ID.
get_property_metadata fetches the complete dimension and metric schemas, custom definitions and compatibility rules for a property.
run_realtime_report queries real-time active users and event counts from the last 30 minutes.
search_skills, skill_read and skills_list search, load and list built-in analytical playbooks that are loaded dynamically from GitHub.

The playbooks cover four recipes: traffic-diagnosis for step-by-step root cause analysis of sudden traffic drops, channel-acquisition for channel grouping and attribution modeling best practice, ecommerce-analysis for revenue, item purchase rate and conversion funnels, and ai-referral-analysis, which tracks and isolates referral traffic from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini. The search tool also mentions playbooks for e-commerce, channel attribution and bot filtering.

When to use - and when NOT to

Use it when an agent needs to answer questions from GA4 data: run reports, find the right dimensions and metrics through the property schema, check what is happening in the last 30 minutes, or diagnose a traffic change with a guided playbook. It is for Google Analytics 4 only. It needs a GA4 property and Google credentials, since the Claude Desktop configuration sets GA4_PROPERTY_ID and points GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS at a service account JSON file.

Telemetry: the package collects anonymous, non-PII diagnostic telemetry (command executions, latency and error codes) to improve reliability. No queries, user credentials, personal data, source code or environment variables are collected or stored. You can opt out at any time by setting DO_NOT_TRACK=1 or MCP_TELEMETRY_OPT_OUT=1.

How to install

A one-line universal installer auto-configures Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, Antigravity, VS Code, Zed and Windsurf. The server can also be run directly with uvx google-analytics-mcp, uvx --from google-analytics-mcp ga4-mcp-server, python -m ga4_mcp or npx -y @surendranb/google-analytics-mcp.

claude mcp add google-analytics -- uvx google-analytics-mcp

Cursor and Google Antigravity use an mcp.json entry that runs uvx with the google-analytics-mcp argument. Claude Desktop uses the same entry in claude_desktop_config.json with the GA4 property ID and credentials environment variables. VS Code clients such as Cline, Roo Code and Continue use the npx form.
