:Delmain GA4 MCP

A small MCP server that lets any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, ...) query Google Analytics 4.

It is intentionally neutral: tools take a property ID plus free-form dimensions and metrics, so it works for PPC, SEO, content, leadership, anyone. Each person authenticates with their own Google account (per-user OAuth), so everyone only sees the GA4 properties they already have access to.

Tools

run_report is the workhorse. Example dimensions: sessionSource, sessionMedium, landingPage, date, country, deviceCategory, eventName. Example metrics: sessions, totalUsers, newUsers, screenPageViews, bounceRate, averageSessionDuration, conversions, eventCount.

Installing with Claude Code

The fastest path. Open Claude Code (or the Code tab in the Claude Desktop App) and paste:

Install the MCP server from https://github.com/aline-delmain/delmain-ga4-mcp — pip install it and add it to my MCP config as "delmain-ga4".

Claude will clone the repo, install the package, and wire up your MCP client config. Then you finish the two steps Claude can't do for you (by design, since every person authenticates as themselves):

1. Paste the OAuth client_id / client_secret (from the team vault) into ~/.delmain-ga4-mcp/.env.

2. Run delmain-ga4-mcp-setup and authorize in the browser with your own Google account.

Restart your MCP client and the GA4 tools show up.

Note: a plain chat at claude.ai cannot install software, only Claude Code or the Desktop Code tab can. And the admin setup below must be done once first, otherwise authorization fails with org_internal / SERVICE_DISABLED.

One-time setup by an admin (do this once for the whole team)

1. OAuth client — in the Google Cloud project that owns the ":Delmain GA4" app, create (or reuse) an OAuth client of type Desktop app. Note its client ID and client secret.

2. Consent screen — so teammates don't each need to be added as test users:

   • If everyone authorizes with an @delmain.co account, set the consent screen to Internal (org-only) and you're done.

   • If people will use other Google accounts, set it to External and Publish the app (status: In production). While in Testing, only listed test users can authorize.

3. Enable APIs in that project:

   • Google Analytics Data API (analyticsdata.googleapis.com)

   • Google Analytics Admin API (analyticsadmin.googleapis.com)

4. Put the client ID + secret in the team vault (1Password / Bitwarden). They are shared by everyone; only each person's refresh token is personal.

Per-user install

Quick install (one script)

There is a one-shot installer for each OS. It finds Python, installs the package, registers the MCP with Claude Code using the full executable path (so a missing PATH entry doesn't break it), writes your .env, and runs the browser authorization.

Windows (install-delmain-ga4-mcp.ps1):

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\install-delmain-ga4-mcp.ps1

macOS / Linux (install-delmain-ga4-mcp.sh):

bash install-delmain-ga4-mcp.sh

It will ask you to paste the OAuth client_id / client_secret from the team vault. That's the only manual input. Then restart your MCP client.

Claude Desktop users: the script auto-registers only with Claude Code (via the claude CLI). If you use the Desktop app, the script prints a "mcpServers" JSON block with the full executable path. Copy that block into your claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config), then restart the app. Same block works for Cursor's ~/.cursor/mcp.json.

Manual install

Requires Python 3.10+.

# 1. Install (from the repo, or once published, from GitHub)
pip install git+https://github.com/<org>/delmain-ga4-mcp.git
#   or, working in a clone:
pip install -e .

# 2. Configure credentials
mkdir -p ~/.delmain-ga4-mcp
cp .env.example ~/.delmain-ga4-mcp/.env
#   edit it and paste DELMAIN_GA4_CLIENT_ID + DELMAIN_GA4_CLIENT_SECRET
#   (from the team vault). Leave the refresh token blank.

# 3. Generate YOUR personal refresh token (opens the browser)
delmain-ga4-mcp-setup
#   sign in with the Google account that has your GA4 access, then authorize.

That writes your refresh token to ~/.delmain-ga4-mcp/.env. Done.

Connect it to your MCP client

The server runs over stdio via the delmain-ga4-mcp command.

Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add to your MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json, or .mcp.json / ~/.claude.json for Claude Code):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "delmain-ga4": {
      "command": "delmain-ga4-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "delmain-ga4": { "command": "delmain-ga4-mcp" }
  }
}

Restart the client. You should see the GA4 tools available.

Example prompts

• "List my GA4 properties."

• "For property 463688888, sessions and conversions by sessionSource/sessionMedium, last 30 days."

• "Top 10 landing pages by sessions for property 463688888 this month."

• "How many active users are on property 463688888 right now?"

Notes

• Read-only. The server only requests analytics.readonly; it cannot change anything in GA4.

• No secrets in git. .env, *.json credentials are gitignored. Share the OAuth client via the vault, never by committing it.

• Access scope. You can only query properties your own Google account can see. list_properties shows exactly that set.
