A Complete List of MCPs For Growth Marketers

ellen1889Mar 5, 2026

Some say MCPs are overvalued. Others say they’re undervalued. There are too many opinions and too much noise. I’ll say this instead:

MCPs are under-used. There’s far more talk than actual usage.

Everyone should try them at least once.


What Is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP is like a "USB-C port" for AI. It allows your AI assistant to plug directly into your software (GA4, Slack, etc.) to read data and perform tasks for you.

Tips

  • The GitHub documentations and links below can be intimidating in the beginning. I usually send the link to Claude Code (or another LLMs) and let it guide me step by step, and explain to me when is not clear.

  • Check your company’s AI data policies before connecting a database like BigQuery.


MCPs For Web Analytics

Google Analytics (Official) — Must Have

https://github.com/googleanalytics/google-analytics-mcp?tab=readme-ov-file

Sample prompts:

  • “What can the analytics mcp server do?”

  • “What are the most popular events in my Google Analytics property in the last 180 days?”

Google Tag Manager (Third Party) — Must Have

  • “Set up GA4 e-commerce tracking for my store.”

  • “Create a variable that returns the local timestamp.”

  • “Make GA4 fire only when analytics consent is granted.”

Bonus:

Worth trying this GTM skill as well, easy to implement and very powerful:
