What is the Fathom Analytics MCP server?

Fathom analytics mcp server lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients work with Fathom Analytics directly. Access and analyze Fathom Analytics data and reports.

What Fathom Analytics does

An unofficial Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for accessing Fathom Analytics data through an AI assistant. This implementation uses the @mackenly/fathom-api unofficial SDK to interact with the Fathom Analytics API. Not affiliated, endorsed, or supported by Fathom Analytics. Published to npm as an npx script.

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 2 tools directly:

  • Events — The Events tool exposed by this server
  • Analytics — The Analytics tool exposed by this server

Installing the fathom analytics mcp server

The server is distributed via npm as script, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply 2 environment variables: FATHOM_API_KEY, SITE_ID. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Fathom Analytics sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Events, Analytics — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • It will not start until its required credentials are present, so set those before wondering why the tools never appear.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the fathom analytics mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Fathom Analytics to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 2 tools (Events, Analytics) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Fathom Analytics directly.
