01Questions
What people ask Google Analytics
Each one becomes a query against the Google Analytics data, run read-only, with the SQL shown beside the chart so anyone who reads SQL can check it. Anything worth keeping goes on a dashboard that refreshes on its own.
- Which pages brought in the most new users last month?
- What is the conversion rate by traffic source for the last 30 days?
- Which events did users fire before their first purchase?
- How did sessions from organic search change week on week?
02From your assistant
Ask Google Analytics from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor
Dataki runs a hosted MCP server. Add it to your assistant once and it can read the Google Analytics data in BigQuery and run read-only queries through Dataki. The assistant gets the rows back; the credentials stay encrypted in Dataki and never reach the model.
Setup for your assistant:
Using our GA4 export, which landing pages brought the most new users last month, by source?
- list_sources · finds BigQuery · analytics_123456789
- get_data_context · reads the tables and what the columns mean
- query · runs the SQL read-only, returns the rows
- render_ui · draws the chart from those rows, in the chat

Always current. The query runs again whenever the dashboard opens, so Friday's meeting sees Friday's numbers.

- Put the same dashboard in your own product with two HTML tags.
Using Dataki with Google Analytics
- Can I query Google Analytics in plain English instead of writing SQL?
- Yes. Dataki works with Google Analytics through its BigQuery dataset (GA4's free BigQuery export). Ask in plain English and Dataki writes the SQL against that dataset, runs it and returns a chart. The query is shown with every result, so you can check or edit it.
- How do I build a dashboard from Google Analytics data without an ETL pipeline?
- Follow the Google Analytics setup guide once and your data lands in BigQuery automatically, with no pipeline to maintain. Connect that dataset to Dataki, ask your question and save the answer as a dashboard widget. Dataki queries the dataset live, so the dashboard is always as fresh as the export.
- Can Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor query my Google Analytics data?
- Yes, through Dataki's hosted MCP server at https://dataki.ai/api/mcp. Connect Google Analytics to Dataki, add that URL as a connector in Claude or ChatGPT (or in Cursor, VS Code or Claude Code with a Dataki key), and your assistant can read the schema and run read-only queries. It works with the results, while your credentials stay encrypted in Dataki and never reach the model.
