The Formula

Overview

MCP Analytics Suite is an intelligent analytics platform that understands what you want to analyze and automatically selects the right approach. No statistics degree required — just describe your business question and let our AI-powered discovery handle the complexity.

Upload any CSV — Shopify orders, Stripe exports, WooCommerce reports, eBay data, ad platform reports, or any tabular data. Connect live data from Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console via native connectors. Run regression, forecasting, clustering, A/B testing, customer LTV, churn prediction, and hundreds of other statistical methods. Get back interactive HTML reports with charts and AI-written insights.

Why MCP Analytics?

• Intelligent Discovery: Automatically finds the right analytical approach
• Complete Workflow: From question to insight in one seamless flow
• Zero Setup: Cloud-based processing, works instantly
• Enterprise Security: OAuth2, encryption, isolated processing
• Comprehensive Suite: Full range of analytical capabilities
• Interactive Reports: Shareable visualizations with AI insights

Quick Start

1. Get an API Key

Sign up free at app.mcpanalytics.ai, go to account settings, and copy your API key (starts with mcp_). You get 2,000 free credits — no credit card required.

2. Connect

Three options — all connect to the same platform with the same tools.

Option A: npx Install (Recommended)

Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and any stdio MCP client. Requires Node.js 18+.

Claude Desktop — add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpanalytics": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mcp-analytics/mcp-analytics"],
      "env": {
        "MCP_ANALYTICS_API_KEY": "mcp_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor / Windsurf — add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpanalytics": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mcp-analytics/mcp-analytics"],
      "env": {
        "MCP_ANALYTICS_API_KEY": "mcp_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code — run in your terminal:

claude mcp add mcpanalytics -- npx -y @mcp-analytics/mcp-analytics
# Then set MCP_ANALYTICS_API_KEY in your environment

Option B: Direct API Key (No npm)

For MCP clients that support Streamable HTTP transport with custom headers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpanalytics": {
      "url": "https://api.mcpanalytics.ai/mcp/api-key",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "mcp_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option C: OAuth2 (No API Key)

Zero-config — a browser opens for login on first connection:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpanalytics": {
      "url": "https://api.mcpanalytics.ai/auth0"
    }
  }
}

Browse Tools First (No Account Needed)

Explore the full tool catalog before signing up:

# Static metadata (tool names, descriptions, all transport options)
curl https://api.mcpanalytics.ai/.well-known/mcp.json

# MCP protocol discovery (no auth — works with any MCP client)
curl -X POST https://api.mcpanalytics.ai/mcp/discover \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/list","id":1,"params":{}}'

3. Start Analyzing

Restart your MCP client. Ask:

• "Upload sales.csv and find what drives revenue"
• "What statistical test should I use for this survey data?"
• "Forecast next quarter's sales from this time series"

How It Works

The MCP Analytics Workflow

1. Ask Your Question - Describe what you want to analyze in natural language
2. Intelligent Discovery - tools.discover finds the right analytical approach

5. Interactive Results - reports.view delivers shareable insights

User: "What drives our sales growth?"
MCP Analytics:
  → Discovers regression and correlation methods

About MCP Analytics

MCP Analytics is built by data scientists and engineers passionate about making advanced statistical analysis accessible through AI assistants. The platform runs validated, deterministic analysis modules — the same data and tool produce the same result every time, unlike LLM code generation.

Testing & Support

Testing Your Connection

After installation, restart your MCP client and look for "MCP Analytics" in the available tools. You should see tools like discover_tools, tools_run, datasets_upload, etc.

# Test the stdio proxy directly:
MCP_ANALYTICS_API_KEY=mcp_your_key npx -y @mcp-analytics/mcp-analytics
# Should output: "[mcp-analytics] Connected to https://api.mcpanalytics.ai. 19 tools available."

Troubleshooting

If MCP Analytics doesn't appear after installation:

1. Ensure your config file is valid JSON
2. Restart your MCP client completely
3. Verify your API key starts with mcp_
4. Check the client's developer console for errors
5. Try running the npx command in a terminal to see errors
