Google Analytics MCP server & Claude connector

Does Google Analytics have an official MCP server or Claude connector?

Official

As of October 2026, Google publishes an official Google Analytics MCP server, documented on developers.google.com and hosted at github.com/googleanalytics/google-analytics-mcp. It runs locally, uses Application Default Credentials with the analytics.readonly scope, and is read-only. The repo labels it experimental. No Google-hosted remote endpoint was found.
