About

Google Analytics ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 23 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

Google Analytics (GA4) reports on how people use a site or app, and this app runs those reports and manages the properties feeding them. Run a report over a date range, a realtime view of the last 30 minutes, or a pivoted breakdown — up to five reports in one batch call — and read back which dimensions and metrics a property supports and which combinations are valid before building a query around them.

Beyond reporting, it reaches into the configuration side: list accounts and properties, read or update a property’s settings, manage data streams and key events (GA4’s renamed conversion events), inspect custom dimensions and metrics, and check how long a property retains event data. Audience exports can be started and queried once built, for pulling a defined audience’s user list out of GA4.

Good for feeding analytics numbers into a dashboard or report on a schedule, auditing who accessed a property’s data, or triggering downstream automation off a key event or a realtime spike — all without opening the Analytics UI.

Build with Google Analytics

Three routes to the same 23 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Google Analytics's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.

Run a data access report

Create a key event

key-event-create

Mark an event name as a key event on a property.

List key events

key-event-list

Create a property

property-create

Create a new GA4 property under an account.

Get a property

property-get

Retrieve one GA4 property's settings.

Run reports in a batch

report-batch-run

Run a report

report-run

Run a pivot report

report-run-pivot

Run a GA4 report with one or more pivots.

Run a realtime report

report-run-realtime

Report on activity in the last 30 minutes.

A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the workflow spec, carrying Google Analytics's real ids.

+18 more actions available

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account, so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Google Analytics, then fill in the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but nothing in it is specific to Google Analytics. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

Install
npm install @w6w/sdk
yarn add @w6w/sdk
pnpm add @w6w/sdk
deno add npm:@w6w/sdk
Code
import { W6wClient, isActionRun } from "@w6w/sdk";

// Reads W6W_BASE_URL and W6W_TOKEN from the environment when omitted.
const client = new W6wClient();

const envelope = await client.run({
  urn: "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID",
  action: "audience-export-create",
  payload: {
    // propertyId: "<value>",
    audience: "<value>",
    dimensions: "<value>",
  },
});

if (isActionRun(envelope)) console.log(envelope.value);
Install the CLI
npm install -g @w6w/cli
CLI
w6w run conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID --action audience-export-create --payload '{"audience":"<value>","dimensions":"<value>"}'

Give an AI agent Google Analytics — without giving it Google Analytics's credentials. One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.

One tool call
{
  "name": "w6w_invoke",
  "arguments": {
    "ref": "app:io.w6w.google-analytics#audience-export-create",
    "input": {
      "audience": "<audience>",
      "dimensions": "<dimensions>"
    }
  }
}

Every tool names its target with a single ref. The app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the host resolves which of the caller's Google Analytics connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.

A durable workflow in one call

Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.

Health-aware discovery

Google Analytics's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.

The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Google Analytics itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Request MCP access

Health checks

Google Analytics declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.

service

Google Analytics platform status

Open incidents for Google Analytics on the Google Ads Status Dashboard — where Google lists it, not the Workspace dashboard. Unauthenticated and unsigned.

quota

Data API token headroom

Tokens remaining on this property, read off `propertyQuota` from the cheapest possible report. The probe spends a token or two of the allowance it measures.
