Google Meridian MCP Server (google-meridian-mcp)
A Cloud-Agnostic, First-Principles Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Google Meridian and Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM).
It empowers data scientists and AI assistants (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Antigravity) to create, audit, calibrate, and optimize mathematically sound, causally valid Marketing Mix Models with zero cloud vendor lock-in.
š” Why First Principles Over Rigid Scripts?
Most assistant implementations rely on hardcoded procedural scripts (SKILL.md). In real-world data science, rigid scripts break because every business, industry, and marketing dataset is unique:
A retail brand with 50 DMAs operates differently than a B2B SaaS startup with national data.
App install targets (
NON_REVENUE) require different priors than revenue models (REVENUE).Specific channel CPMs, flighting patterns, and Lift Tests vary across campaigns.
First Principles never change. Causal identification (DAGs), carryover/saturation physics (Adstock & Hill curves), Bayesian probability calibration, NUTS MCMC geometry ($\hat{R} < 1.05$), and KKT convex budget optimization apply universally to every dataset on Earth.
By anchoring this MCP server in First Principles & Dynamic Data Science Tools, the co-pilot adapts seamlessly to any specific edge case while guaranteeing mathematical rigor.

TDQS
Scored across 9 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose. Documentation tools (fetch, list, search) are separated by action, guides target different aspects (control points vs workflow), and remaining tools cover calculation, auditing, code synthesis, and schema generation without overlap.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case, e.g., fetch_docs, get_control_point_guide, calculate_bayesian_prior, list_doc_sources. The verbs are varied but predictable, and there is no mixing of conventions.
With 9 tools, the set is well-scoped for a domain-specific MCP server. It covers documentation, guides, prior calculation, auditing, code synthesis, and schema generation without being overloaded or too sparse.
The tool surface covers core documentation, guides, prior calculation, and auditing. Minor gaps exist: missing tools for directly running models or retrieving results, but these may be handled by synthesized code. Overall, it's fairly complete for the stated purpose.
