What is the Analytics MCP server?

If you already use Analytics, the analytics mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. A Model Context Protocol server for analytical queries on the freispace platform.

What the server does

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides analytics and insights for the scheduling software freispace. This server enables AI assistants (e.g. Copilot, Gemini) to query data within freispace, such as project statistics and planning related information.

The freispace MCP Server connects any LLM with tooling capabilities to freispace to query analytical data.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • get_current_user — Who the calling user is: name, email and linked staff record. No arguments. Use it to resolve "I"/"me"/"my" to a staff name
  • get_staffs — The get_staffs tool exposed by this server
  • find_resources — Search rooms/studios (suites), equipment/licenses (resources) and staff by name in one call, grouped by type
  • get_availability — Check when staff, suites or resources are free in a date window (default 14 days, max 92), considering bookings, public holidays and staff
  • get_my_schedule — The calling user's own bookings in a date window (default: next 7 days)
  • get_my_tasks — Tasks assigned to the calling user, with due date, priority and reference
  • get_open_tasks — The get_open_tasks tool exposed by this server
  • get_staff_projects — List the projects a staff member is booked on, with date range and duration
  • get_staff_collaborators — Show who a staff member has worked with, based on shared bookings
  • get_staff_next_holiday — Get a staff member's next upcoming holiday (start, end, length, comment)
  • get_staff_holiday_quota — Get a staff member's holiday quota for one year: total, taken and remaining days
  • get_project_stats — Booking statistics for one project: past vs upcoming bookings with per-status breakdown, plus the project timespan (first booking start, last booking

Credentials and setup notes

  1. freispace Flagship account 2. Valid MCP API key for freispace - During beta, contact your freispace support team to obtain an MCP API key

Installation

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.

Where it fits

This sits in the team communication group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Analytics's toolset — get_current_user, get_staffs, find_resources and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by freispace; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Analytics's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Analytics.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Analytics to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 14 tools (get_current_user, get_staffs, find_resources, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Analytics directly.
