MarketingMCP
MarketingMCP is an open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that bridges the gap between natural language AI assistants like Claude and marketing data platforms. It enables users to query advertising analytics, generate performance reports, and even manage campaigns through conversational interactions. By running the server locally or in a cloud environment, marketing teams can securely grant Claude access to tools that pull real-time data from sources such as Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and more. The server implements the MCP specification, exposing a set of pre-defined tools and resources that Claude can invoke when a user asks marketing-related questions. For example, a user can ask, 'How did our Facebook campaign perform last week?' and MarketingMCP handles authentication, data retrieval, and formatting, allowing Claude to present a clear analysis. It supports custom metrics, date ranges, and aggregation options, making it adaptable to various reporting needs. Key features include multi-platform support, real-time data access, the ability to generate charts and summaries, and a self-hosted architecture that ensures data privacy. Built with extensibility in mind, MarketingMCP can be enhanced with additional marketing APIs, such as LinkedIn Ads, Google Analytics, or custom data sources. The server is lightweight, written in Python, and deployable via Docker or pip, making it accessible to both developers and technically-savvy marketers. MarketingMCP is particularly useful for teams that rely on AI assistants for daily workflows, as it eliminates the need to switch between multiple dashboards. It turns Claude into a central hub for marketing intelligence, enabling faster decision-making and more efficient campaign management. The project is freely available under an MIT license, encouraging community contributions and custom integrations.
