🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

Before setting up the MCP server, you'll need:

  • Python 3.10+ installed
  • A Google Cloud Platform account
  • A Google Analytics 4 property with data access

🔧 Step 1: Google Cloud Platform Setup

1.1 Create Google Cloud Project

  1. Go to Google Cloud Console
  2. Create a new project:
    • Click "Select a project" → "New Project"
    • Enter project name (e.g., "Google Analytics MCP")
    • Click "Create"

1.2 Enable Google Analytics APIs

  1. In your Google Cloud Console:
    • Go to "APIs & Services" → "Library"
    • Search for "Google Analytics Data API" and enable it

1.3 Create OAuth 2.0 Credentials

  1. Go to "APIs & Services" → "Credentials"
  2. Click "+ CREATE CREDENTIALS" → "OAuth 2.0 Client ID"
  3. Configure consent screen (if first time):
    • Click "Configure Consent Screen"
    • Choose "External" (unless you have Google Workspace)
    • Fill required fields:
      • App name: "Google Analytics MCP"
      • User support email: Your email
      • Developer contact: Your email
    • Add scopes:
      • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics
      • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly
    • Click "Save and Continue" through all steps
  4. Create OAuth Client:
    • Application type: "Desktop application"
    • Name: "Google Analytics MCP Client"
    • Click "Create"
  5. Download credentials:
    • Click "Download JSON" button
    • Save file as client_secret_[long-string].json in your project directory

🔧 Step 2: Google Analytics Access

2.1 Ensure Analytics Access

  1. Sign in to Google Analytics
  2. Verify you have access to GA4 properties
  3. Note your property IDs (found in GA4 Admin → Property Settings)
  4. Ensure your Google account has at least Viewer access to the properties you want to query

🔧 Step 3: Installation & Setup

3.1 Clone and Install

# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/yourusername/google-analytics-mcp-server.git cd google-analytics-mcp-server # Create virtual environment (recommended) python3 -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate # Install dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt

3.2 Environment Configuration

Create a .env file in your project directory:

# Copy the example file cp .env.example .env

Edit .env with your credentials:

# Required: Path to OAuth credentials JSON file (downloaded from Google Cloud) GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_OAUTH_CONFIG_PATH=/full/path/to/your/client_secret_file.json

Example .env file:

GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_OAUTH_CONFIG_PATH=/Users/john/google-analytics-mcp/client_secret_138737274875-abc123.apps.googleusercontent.com.json

🖥️ Step 4: Claude Desktop Integration

4.1 Locate Claude Configuration

Find your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS:

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows:

%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

4.2 Add MCP Server Configuration

Edit the configuration file and add your Google Analytics MCP server:

{ "mcpServers": { "google-analytics": { "command": "/full/path/to/your/project/.venv/bin/python", "args": [ "/full/path/to/your/project/server.py" ] } } }

Real Example:

{ "mcpServers": { "google-analytics": { "command": "/Users/marble-dev-01/workspace/google_analytics_mcp/.venv/bin/python", "args": [ "/Users/marble-dev-01/workspace/google_analytics_mcp/server.py" ] } } }

Important:

  • Use absolute paths for all file locations
  • On Windows, use forward slashes / or double backslashes \\ in paths

4.3 Restart Claude Desktop

Close and restart Claude Desktop to load the new configuration.

🔐 Step 5: First-Time Authentication

5.1 Trigger OAuth Flow

  1. Open Claude Desktop
  2. Try any Google Analytics command, for example:
    "List all my Google Analytics properties"

5.2 Complete Authentication

  1. Browser opens automatically to Google OAuth page
  2. Sign in with your Google account (the one with Analytics access)
  3. Grant permissions by clicking "Allow"
  4. Browser shows success page
  5. Return to Claude - your command will complete automatically!

5.3 Verify Setup

After authentication, you should see:

  • A google_analytics_token.json file created in your project directory
  • Your Google Analytics properties listed in Claude's response

📖 Usage Examples

Property Management

"List all my Google Analytics properties" "Show me properties for account 123456789" "What GA4 properties do I have access to?"

Page View Analysis

"Get page views for property 421301275 from 2025-01-01 to 2025-01-31" "Show me top pages by page views for last month for property 421301275" "Analyze page performance by country for property 421301275"

User Analytics

"Get active users for property 421301275 in the last 7 days" "Show me user metrics by device category for property 421301275" "Compare new vs returning users for last month"

🔒 Security & Best Practices

File Security

  • ✅ Credential files are gitignored - Never committed to version control
  • ✅ Local token storage - Tokens stored in google_analytics_token.json locally
  • ✅ Environment variables - Sensitive data in .env file
  • ✅ Automatic refresh - Minimal token exposure time
# Set secure permissions for sensitive files chmod 600 .env chmod 600 google_analytics_token.json chmod 600 client_secret_*.json

Production Considerations

  1. Use environment variables instead of .env files in production
  2. Implement rate limiting to respect API quotas
  3. Monitor API usage in Google Cloud Console
  4. Secure token storage with proper access controls
  5. Regular token rotation for enhanced security

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Debug Mode

Enable detailed logging for troubleshooting:

# Add to server.py for debugging import logging logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

🚀 Advanced Configuration

HTTP Transport Mode

For web deployment or remote access:

# Start server in HTTP mode python3 server.py --http
