Getting started guide

What it does

Markdown walkthrough of the mcp-analytics workflow: adding sites, installing the tracker, querying analytics, custom events.

Example prompts

Ask Claude (or any MCP client connected to mcp-analytics) something like:

Walk me through using mcp-analytics for the first time.

The client will pick get_started_guide automatically based on the prompt and your account's available sites.

How to call it directly

If you're integrating from your own code rather than a chat client, this is the JSON-RPC payload:

curl -X POST https://mcp-analytics.com/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_started_guide",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}'

Token comes from /settings after you sign up. Replace any required arguments above.
