Z2H Explore MCP

by ram-amit

Z2H Explore MCP

Repo: https://github.com/ram-amit/z2h-explore-mcp (public)

MCP server for campaign-explore looks and dashboards on bigbrain.me. Not Looker (looker-toolbox is a different MCP).

Prerequisites

Requirement

Notes

Cursor, Claude Code (terminal), or Claude Desktop

Not monday browser/workspace Claude

Python 3.10+

macOS Xcode python3 is often 3.9 → brew install python

git

For clone-based install

git config user.name

Becomes your campaign-explore personal folder name

Related MCP server: Amazon Ads Manager MCP Server

Install (new users)

Copy/paste exactly in Terminal (include --dir .):

git clone https://github.com/ram-amit/z2h-explore-mcp.git ~/z2h-explore-mcp && cd ~/z2h-explore-mcp && ./install-z2h-explore-mcp.sh --dir .

Installer auto-detects your app (--clients auto): uses claude-code when only the claude CLI is installed, cursor when only Cursor is.

Claude Code (terminal) — uses claude mcp add -s user automatically:

./install-z2h-explore-mcp.sh --dir . --clients claude-code

Restart claude, run /mcp, confirm z2h-explore is connected.

Cursor:

./install-z2h-explore-mcp.sh --dir . --clients cursor

Then follow the Next steps printed at the end (restart app, test prompt).

After install

  1. Quit the app fully (Cmd+Q), reopen

  2. Cursor: Settings → MCP → z2h-explore connected

  3. New chat, ask exactly:

list explores in campaign-explore

Expected: Campaign Monitoring, Advanced Analytics, LinkedIn Habu.

Verify install

cd ~/z2h-explore-mcp && ./verify-install.sh

Troubleshooting

Symptom

Fix

Script exits with no output

You ran --dir without a path. Use --dir .

invalid option nameipefail

Don't use curl | bash. Use git clone command above.

MCP not registered (Claude Code)

Re-run: ./install-z2h-explore-mcp.sh --dir . --clients claude-code

MCP not in chat list

Wrong app: use Cursor, Claude Code (claude in terminal), or Claude Desktop — not monday browser Claude

Claude Code: MCP missing

Run /mcp after restarting claude. Check claude mcp list

Only see looker-toolbox

That's Looker. Ask for campaign-explore / z2h-explore

Install finished but no MCP

Re-run without --skip-mcp-json: ./install-z2h-explore-mcp.sh --dir .

Writes fail
