AI Assistant Connection (MCP)

Connect Claude, Cursor or any MCP-compatible assistant directly to your Metricstab data. Ask questions in plain English and get answers from your own Search Console and Analytics history — read-only, and available on every plan.

What your assistant can read

  • Every report — all 59 reports are reachable through one tool, using the same numbers the dashboard shows.
  • Your recommendations — the prioritised insight queue, and the evidence behind any one of them.
  • Your A/B tests — which are running and what they concluded.
  • The documentation — these pages are exposed as resources, so the assistant knows what Metricstab means by "striking distance" rather than guessing.

Setting it up

  1. Go to Account → API keys and create a key. Copy it — it's shown once and stored only as a hash.
  2. Add Metricstab as a custom MCP server in your assistant:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "metricstab": {
      "url": "https://metricstab.com/mcp/",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY_HERE" }
    }
  }
}

Then ask things like "which pages lost the most clicks this month, and what does Metricstab recommend?" or "show me my striking-distance keywords and explain what's holding them back."

Available tools

ToolWhat it does
list_sitesSites this key can read
list_reportsEvery report slug, so the assistant can discover what to ask for
get_reportAny report, optionally for a date range
list_recommendationsOpen insights, ranked by estimated impact
get_recommendation_evidenceThe data behind one recommendation
list_testsSEO A/B tests and their status
get_test_resultsOutcome and statistical significance for one test

What it deliberately cannot do

Every tool is read-only. There is no tool that starts a test, edits an annotation, changes a setting, or touches your website. An assistant connected to Metricstab can look at your data and nothing else.

That is a deliberate limit rather than an oversight. An API key lives inside software you don't fully control, so the blast radius of a leaked key is capped at reading your own analytics. Write access will only arrive alongside an approval-and-audit workflow.

Access and limits

  • Available on trials and all paid plans — the same gate as report access.
  • 120 requests per minute per key.
  • Keys are revocable at any time from Account → API keys, and revoking takes effect immediately.
  • Separate from your Google connection: revoking an MCP key does not disturb Search Console or Analytics ingestion.
  • A key only reaches sites its owner can already see in Metricstab.
