Install Google Analytics 4 in Claude Code

What you need first

  • Claude Code, installed.
  • Node.js, which gives the npx command the server starts with.
  • Your own values for YOUR_GA4_CLIENT_ID,YOUR_GA4_CLIENT_SECRET,YOUR_GA4_REFRESH_TOKEN.

Steps

  1. Run this in a terminal, in the project folder. It adds the server for you in that project; put --scope user after claude mcp add to have it in every project.
claude mcp add --env GA4_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_GA4_CLIENT_ID --env GA4_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_GA4_CLIENT_SECRET --env GA4_REFRESH_TOKEN=YOUR_GA4_REFRESH_TOKEN --transport stdio google-analytics -- npx -y @getmcpads/[email protected]
  1. Replace YOUR_GA4_CLIENT_ID,YOUR_GA4_CLIENT_SECRET,YOUR_GA4_REFRESH_TOKEN with your own values.
  2. Start Claude Code and type /mcp: the server is listed with its state.

Check it worked

Ask Claude Code: List the tools of google-analytics.

If it does not start

spawn npx ENOENT
Node.js is not on the PATH that Claude Code sees. Install it, or write the full path of npx in the config.
The server starts, but its tools fail
A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
