If you primarily want to chat with your data (not code), Claude Web is the easiest path — no API key needed, just OAuth in 30 seconds.

Prerequisites

Setup

1

Generate a Detrics API key

Go to app.detrics.io/mcp/api-keys and click Generate New Key. Copy it — you will need it in the next step.
Treat your API key like a password. Never share it publicly or commit it to version control. See API Keys for security best practices.
2

Register the Detrics MCP server

Run the following command in your terminal. Replace your-api-key with the key you just generated.
claude mcp add detrics-mcp https://mcp.detrics.io -e DETRICS_API_KEY=your-api-key -t streamable-http
3

Start querying

Open Claude Code and try a test prompt:
What platforms do I have connected in Detrics?
Claude Code will call the Detrics MCP server and return your connected platforms. If you see results, you are all set.

Example prompts

Once connected, try these:
  • “What was my total ad spend across all platforms last month?”
  • “Compare my Google Ads and Meta Ads ROAS for the last 30 days”
  • “Show me my top 5 campaigns by conversions this week”
  • “What’s my Shopify revenue trend over the last 90 days?”
  • “What metrics are available for TikTok Ads?”
Or browse the Prompt Templates for 40+ ready-made marketing prompts.

Updating your API key

If you need to rotate your API key:
  1. Generate a new key at app.detrics.io/mcp/api-keys
  2. Remove the existing server: claude mcp remove detrics-mcp
  3. Re-add with the new key:
    claude mcp add detrics-mcp https://mcp.detrics.io -e DETRICS_API_KEY=new-key -t streamable-http
    

Troubleshooting

The MCP server URL may be incorrect.Fix: Make sure the URL is exactly https://mcp.detrics.io — no trailing slash, no /sse suffix.
Your API key is missing or invalid.Fix: Remove and re-add the server, making sure the -e DETRICS_API_KEY=... flag is included with your full API key.
Your MCP connection works, but there are no platforms connected in your Detrics workspace.Fix:
  1. Go to app.detrics.io and connect at least one data source
  2. Or ask Claude Code: “Connect my Meta Ads account” — it will generate an OAuth link for you
