Direct event tracking in Claude Desktop

Stop context switching between your analytics dashboard and your chat window. Use `track_event` to push server-side behavior directly into your project metrics while you discuss feature specs. Your AI client handles the payload formatting for you. Just pass the user ID and event details, and the server registers the activity in real-time.

Manage user profiles via Claude Desktop

Keep your user segments accurate by pushing metadata updates as they happen. Use `add_user_properties` to sync attributes like account tier or signup date during your analysis sessions. When you need to clean up data, `delete_user_data` handles your compliance requests instantly. It’s the fastest way to maintain hygiene without touching the web console.

Monitor project health in Claude Desktop

Check your API limits and project status without opening a browser tab. Call `get_api_usage` to see if your current volume is hitting your quotas before you trigger a large data import. This MCP server gives you a clear view of your analytics setup. You’ll know exactly how your event definitions look by calling `get_event_definitions` directly in your chat.
