GA4 now offers API access to report identity settings in the Alpha version of the Admin API, including BLENDED, OBSERVED, DEVICE_BASED, and IDENTITY_BLENDING_STRATEGY_UNSPECIFIED.

Google Analytics launches local MCP supporting GA4 API with secure data access

1 months ago

Google Analytics launched its official MCP, a local server installed on your machine accessed via client apps like Claude or VS Code. It supports GA4 Reporting and Admin APIs for querying data. Local servers keep data private by not sending it to third parties but are harder to install for non-technical users. A hosted, browser-based MCP version is expected next for easier access.
