Dataslayer MCP lets you query your marketing data using AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT. Ask questions in plain English and get instant answers from Google Ads, Meta, GA4, and more.
Most marketing teams spend hours each week pulling data from different platforms, building reports, and trying to answer basic questions like "Which campaign drove the most conversions last week?"
Dataslayer MCP changes this. It's a protocol that connects your marketing data sources directly to AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Mistral. Instead of logging into multiple dashboards or building complex reports, you can simply ask your questions in plain English and get immediate answers from your actual data.
What Is MCP?
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. Think of it as a secure bridge between your marketing platforms and AI assistants.
Here's how it works: when you connect Dataslayer to your accounts (Google Ads, Meta Ads, Google Analytics, etc.), MCP makes that data available to your AI assistant. The assistant can then query your data on demand, just like a data analyst would.
The key difference from traditional dashboards is that you're having a conversation with your data instead of clicking through menus or building queries yourself.
What You Can Do With It
Ask questions naturally
Rather than navigating through reports, just ask:
- "What was my cost per conversion on Facebook last month?"
- "Show me which Google Ads campaigns have a CTR below 2%"
- "Compare my Meta spend week-over-week for Q4"
The AI translates your question into the right data query, pulls the information, and gives you the answer.
Get follow-up insights
Because it's a conversation, you can dig deeper:
- Start with: "Which campaign had the best ROAS in September?"
- Then ask: "What ad creatives did that campaign use?"
- Or: "How does that compare to August?"
Work with your existing setup
MCP uses the data connections you've already configured in Dataslayer. You don't need to set up new integrations or migrate data anywhere.
Supported AI Providers
Dataslayer MCP currently works with three major AI assistants:
- Claude (Anthropic)
