Can I run custom reports with specific dimensions and metrics?

Yes! The `run_report` tool accepts a JSON configuration with dateRanges, dimensions (e.g., pagePath, sessionSource), and metrics (e.g., sessions, screenPageViews, conversions). Use `get_metadata` to list all available dimensions and metrics, and `check_compatibility` to verify your combination is valid before running.

Does GA4 require two credentials — an access token and a property ID?

Yes. You need a Google OAuth **Access Token** (for authentication via Bearer header) and a **GA4 Property ID** (numeric ID identifying your specific GA4 property). The Access Token can be generated via a Google Cloud Service Account with the Analytics Data API enabled. The Property ID is found in GA4 Admin > Property Settings.

Can I see real-time active users on my website?

Yes. The `run_realtime_report` tool provides current active user data with real-time dimensions and metrics. For pre-built convenience reports, use `get_page_views` for top pages, `get_traffic_sources` for session sources, and `get_device_breakdown` for device distribution.

Google Analytics 4 + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Google Analytics 4 MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
