@Datafast/ Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes DataFast analytics as tools for AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and others.

Ask your AI assistant questions like:

• "How many visitors did I get this week?"
• "What are my top referrers this month?"
• "Show me revenue by country for Q4"
• "Which pages have the highest conversion rate?"
• "What's my real-time visitor count?"

Requirements

• Node.js 18.0.0 or later
• A DataFast account with an API key

Setup

1. Get your API key

Go to your DataFast dashboard → Settings → API Keys and create a new key.

2. Install

npm install @datafast/mcp-server

3. Configure your AI client

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datafast": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@datafast/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "DATAFAST_API_KEY": "df_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datafast": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@datafast/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "DATAFAST_API_KEY": "df_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datafast": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@datafast/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "DATAFAST_API_KEY": "df_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }

Development

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build
npm run build

# Type check
npm run typecheck

# Run locally
DATAFAST_API_KEY=df_your_key node dist/index.js

Troubleshooting

"DATAFAST_API_KEY environment variable is required"

Ensure your AI client (Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc.) is configured to pass the DATAFAST_API_KEY in the env object. The key must start with df_.

"Invalid API key format"

DataFast API keys start with df_. Verify you copied the full key from the DataFast dashboard → Settings → API Keys.

MCP server not appearing in Cursor

1. Restart Cursor after adding the MCP config
2. Ensure the config file is at .cursor/mcp.json (or the path your Cursor version expects)
3. Check that npx can resolve @datafast/mcp-server (try running npx -y @datafast/mcp-server in a terminal with DATAFAST_API_KEY set)

API errors

If you see DataFast API error (401), your API key may be invalid or expired. Generate a new key from the dashboard. For DataFast API error (403), check that your API key has the required permissions.
