Google Analytics 4 Admin MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for managing Google Analytics 4 properties and annotations.

Installation

npm install -g mcp-ga4-admin

Or use it directly via npx:

npx mcp-ga4-admin

Requirements

1. A Google Cloud project with the Google Analytics Admin API enabled
2. A service account with appropriate permissions for Google Analytics
3. A credentials.json file for the service account

Configuration

You need to provide the path to your Google service account credentials file. There are two ways to do this:

Option 1: Environment Variable

Set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable directly:

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=path/to/your/credentials.json

Option 2: .env File (Optional)

Alternatively, you can create a .env file in the directory where you want to use the MCP with the following content:

GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=path/to/your/credentials.json

Note: The .env file is completely optional. The package will work fine with just the environment variable set.

Usage with Claude

This MCP is designed to work with Claude or other MCP Clients. To use it with Claude, create a claude-mcp-config.json file with the following content:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-analytics-admin": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-ga4-admin"],
      "cwd": "/tmp",
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS": "/path/to/your/credentials.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace /path/to/your/credentials.json with the actual path to your Google service account credentials file.

Important Notes for Claude Configuration

1. The cwd parameter is important - it ensures the MCP runs in a clean directory
2. No .env file is needed when using this configuration with Claude
3. The NO_COLOR environment variable prevents color codes in the output, which can cause JSON parsing errors in Claude
4. Upload the claude-mcp-config.json file to Claude when starting a new conversation
