// ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json { "mcpServers": { "mcpanalytics": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@mcp-analytics/mcp-analytics"], "env": { "MCP_ANALYTICS_API_KEY": "mcp_your_key_here" } } } }

No npm needed. Your MCP client connects directly to our API via HTTP. Requires a client that supports custom headers on Streamable HTTP transport.
// Claude Desktop config { "mcpServers": { "mcpanalytics": { "type": "http", "url": "https://api.mcpanalytics.ai/mcp/api-key", "headers": { "X-API-Key": "mcp_your_key_here" } } } }
Zero-config authentication. A browser window opens for login on first connection. No API key to manage. Works if your client supports MCP OAuth2.
// Claude Desktop config { "mcpServers": { "mcpanalytics": { "type": "http", "url": "https://api.mcpanalytics.ai/auth0" } } }
