How to Use the Northbeam MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I run a Northbeam export using Claude Code?

You tell Claude Code to export your metrics, and it calls createdataexport with your specified Northbeam breakdowns. It then tracks the job using getexportstatus and outputs the result to your terminal.

Q: Can I inspect my scheduled reports in Claude Code?

Yes, Claude Code calls listscheduledexports to list your active Northbeam automated runs. You can view their configurations and verify their execution times directly in your shell.

Q: How do I add this Northbeam MCP Server to Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add --transport http northbeam-mcp -- in your terminal. This saves the Northbeam configuration to your local /.claude.json file.

Q: Can Claude Code check which Northbeam attribution models are active?

The CLI agent executes listattributionmodels to output all available Northbeam models. This lets you quickly see if your account is using Clicks-only or Modeled data.

Pipe Northbeam attribution data directly into your terminal workflows using Claude Code.

Perplexity

Trigger terminal-based data exports

`create_data_export` kicks off an asynchronous Northbeam export job directly from your shell. Claude Code captures the job identifier and monitors it via `get_export_status` in a headless loop. Once the Northbeam export completes, you can pipe the raw output into standard Unix utilities. This lets you filter ad spend or conversion metrics without leaving the Claude Code terminal interface.

Map marketing dimensions via this MCP Server

`list_breakdowns` displays all available Northbeam reporting segments, including platform, campaign, and ad set. Claude Code queries this list to help you construct precise curl commands or bash scripts. The Claude Code CLI agent uses this metadata to validate your scripts before you run them in production. This prevents failed API calls during automated cron runs of your Northbeam data.

Audit account setups from the command line

`get_account_info` retrieves your Northbeam workspace profile details and active tracking statuses directly to stdout. Claude Code uses this to verify your authentication token is valid before starting complex scripts. It can also call `list_recent_exports` to check the history of your manual or automated Northbeam runs. This gives Claude Code quick visibility into what reports have already been generated today.
