Google Analytics 4
Google Analytics MCP server
Get MCP Ads is a hosted Google Analytics 4 MCP server, read only. Add one URL to Claude, ChatGPT or another assistant, sign in with Google and tick the GA4 properties to share; your assistant runs reports, funnels and realtime queries, and cannot change anything in GA4.

Connection
Connect Google Analytics to Claude and ChatGPT
Add the GA4 URL to your assistant, sign in with Google and allow read access to Analytics, then tick the properties to share. Connecting GA4 never asks again for your Google Ads access.
In Claude
- Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector.
- Paste the URL into the connector dialog and save.
- Claude opens a browser tab to authorise Get MCP Ads.
- Approve once. The connection stays until you revoke it.
In ChatGPT
- Turn on Developer mode in Settings, Security and login.
- In chatgpt.com/plugins, select the plus button and paste the URL with OAuth.
- Open the Ads cockpit from the sidebar, or ask in any conversation.
In Cursor, Claude Code and Codex
The same URL works there. For a session on Google Analytics 4 only, its own URL keeps the list of tools short:

Capabilities
What your assistant can do in GA4
It runs Google Analytics 4 reports on the properties you tick, from a channel table to a funnel by device, and checks how purchases and events are tracked.
Reports, pivots and funnels
Sessions, key events, purchases and revenue by channel, source, campaign, landing page, device and country, with pivot reports and funnels: 51 metrics and 62 dimensions.
Realtime
Who is on the site right now, by device or country, from the realtime report.
E-commerce, server-side and BigQuery checks
Whether view_item, add_to_cart, begin_checkout and purchase fire with revenue, how server-side tagging is set up, and what the BigQuery export covers.
Read only by design
Get MCP Ads asks Google for the analytics.readonly scope only, and has no tool that writes to GA4.

Measurement
GA4 beside your ad platforms
The same URL reaches Meta, Google Ads, TikTok and the other ad platforms, so one request can set what an ad platform reports beside what GA4 records. Each source keeps its own attribution, and the two are never added up.
- Compare GA4 purchases with Meta purchases by day for last week, and flag the days that differ by more than 20%.
- Which landing pages from paid social bring sessions but no purchases?
- Search Console on the same URL adds the organic clicks of the same pages.

Limits
Limits
What the GA4 server does not do, said plainly.

- Google’s quotas apply: 40,000 tokens an hour per property and 10 requests at a time.
- No alerts on GA4, and nothing is ever written to it.
