# PlainSignal MCP Server
This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for PlainSignal analytics data. It provides tools for retrieving analytics reports and metrics through the MCP protocol.
## Setup
### Installation
#### From npm (recommended)
```bash
# Install globally
npm install -g @plainsignal/plainsignal-mcp
# Or install locally in your project
npm install @plainsignal/plainsignal-mcp
```
#### From source
1. Clone this repository
2. Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
This project uses ES modules instead of CommonJS. Make sure you're using a Node.js version that supports ES modules (Node.js 14+).
## Usage
### When installed from npm
```bash
# If installed globally
plainsignal-mcp --token <your_access_token>
# If installed locally
npx plainsignal-mcp --token <your_access_token>
# Or using an environment variable
export PLAINSIGNAL_TOKEN=<your_access_token>
plainsignal-mcp
```
### When using from source
Run the server with your access token:
```bash
node src/index.js --token <your_access_token>
# Or using an environment variable
export PLAINSIGNAL_TOKEN=<your_access_token>
node src/index.js
```
You can also specify a custom API base URL:
```bash
node src/index.js --token <your_access_token> --api-base-url <api_base_url>
```
Or use the short format:
```bash
node src/index.js -t <your_access_token> -u <api_base_url>
```
Alternatively, set the access token and API base URL as environment variables and use the test script:
```bash
export PLAINSIGNAL_TOKEN=your_access_token
export API_BASE_URL=https://app.plainsignal.com/api/v1
./test.sh
```
By default, the server connects to `https://app.plainsignal.com/api/v1`.
## MCP Server configs
### Claude Desktop
Add this snippet to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```
{
"mcpServers": {
"plainsignal": {
"command": "npx -y @plainsignal/plainsignal-mcp",
"env": {
"PLAINSIGNAL_TOKEN": "<YOUR_PLAINSIGNAL_TOKEN>"
}
}
}
}
```
## Available Tools
The server provides the following tools:
### getReport
Retrieves an analytics report for a specified domain and time period.
Parameters:
- `organizationID`: Organization ID
- `domainID`: Domain ID
- `periodFrom`: Report start datetime in RFC3339 format
- `periodTo`: Report end datetime in RFC3339 format
- `periodSelection`: Period type (m: month, y: year, d: day)
- `aggregationWindow`: Data aggregation window (h: hour, d: day)
- `filters`: (Optional) List of filters as key-value pairs
### getSubReport
Retrieves detailed metrics for a specific aspect of analytics data.
Parameters:
- `organizationID`: Organization ID
- `domainID`: Domain ID
- `periodFrom`: Report start datetime in RFC3339 format
- `periodTo`: Report end datetime in RFC3339 format
- `periodSelection`: Period type (m: month, y: year, d: day)
- `aggregationWindow`: Data aggregation window (h: hour, d: day)
- `subReportType`: Type of report (1: page, 2: entry page, etc.)
- `filters`: (Optional) List of filters as key-values pairs
- `pagination`: (Optional) Pagination controls with limit and offset
## API Reference
This server communicates with the PlainSignal API. By default, it connects to `https://app.plainsignal.com/api/v1`, but you can configure the API endpoint in several ways:
1. Use the `--api-base-url` command line option:
```bash
node src/index.js --token <your_token> --api-base-url https://app.plainsignal.com/api/v1
```
2. Set the `API_BASE_URL` environment variable:
```bash
export API_BASE_URL=https://app.plainsignal.com/api/v1
```
3. Pass a custom API base URL to the constructor when instantiating the server programmatically:
```javascript
const server = new PlainSignalStdioServer(token, 'https://app.plainsignal.com/api/v1');
```
## For Developers
The server is implemented using the MCP SDK and communicates over STDIO.
## Examples
An example client is provided to demonstrate how to use the MCP server:
```bash
# Set your access token
export PLAINSIGNAL_TOKEN=your_access_token
# Run the example client
npm run example
```
Or run the resources example client:
```bash
# Set your access token
export PLAINSIGNAL_TOKEN=your_access_token
# Run the resources example client
npm run resources-example
```
The example client demonstrates:
1. Connecting to the MCP server
2. Listing available tools
3. Calling the `getReport` tool with sample parameters
4. Processing and displaying the results
The resources example client demonstrates:
1. Connecting to the MCP server
2. Listing available resources
3. Reading the `listDomains` resource
4. Processing and displaying the results
