How to Connect Google Analytics 4 to Cursor

Query your Google Analytics 4 data directly from Cursor using Sequel’s MCP server. Ask questions in plain English, with no SQL, no dashboards, and no context switching.

Short answer

Connect Google Analytics 4 to Sequel, then add Sequel's MCP server to Cursor using the config on this page. Cursor can then query your live Google Analytics 4 data in plain English, with no connector code and no CSV exports. Both steps take a few minutes.

Example prompts

Everything you can ask Cursor about your Google Analytics 4 data.

Ask in plain English — Sequel translates it into a Google Analytics 4 query, runs it, and Cursor hands back the answer. No SQL, no dashboards, no CSV exports.

What you can ask Cursor

What were my top 5 traffic sources last month?
Which pages have the highest bounce rate this week?
Show me week-over-week organic search traffic for the past 3 months
What's the conversion rate by device type?
Which campaign drove the most sessions in Q1?

How it works

Three steps to get started

Connect Google Analytics 4 to Sequel

In your Sequel dashboard, go to Connections and add Google Analytics 4. Sequel handles authentication and schema discovery automatically.

Add Sequel to the agent

Copy the Sequel MCP configuration into Cursor's settings file (shown below). Swap in your API key from Settings → API Keys.

Ask Cursor about your data

Restart Cursor and start asking questions. "What were my top 5 traffic sources last month?" — and get a real answer backed by live Google Analytics 4 data.

Why Cursor

What Cursor does with your Google Analytics 4 data

Schema exploration in your editor

Ask Cursor to describe your database schema, find the right table for a feature, or understand relationships between tables — all without switching to another tool or reading through migrations.

Query data while you code

Need to check actual data while implementing a feature? Ask Cursor to pull examples from your connected databases. No more copy-pasting connection strings into a separate SQL client.

Catch data issues before they ship

Run queries against your staging or production database from inside the editor. Validate assumptions about data shape, volume, or edge cases while the code is still in front of you.

Configuration

Add Sequel to Cursor

Place this in .cursor/mcp.json and replace sql_your_api_key with a key from Settings → API Keys.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sequel": {
      "url": "https://api.sequel.sh/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sql_your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Install

Install Google Analytics 4 MCP in Cursor

Pick your app and Sequel installs itself: a one-click link where the client supports it, that client’s own few steps where it doesn’t. Every route signs in with your Sequel account over OAuth, so there is no API key to copy and nothing to keep in sync.

Already have an MCP client?

https://api.sequel.sh/mcp

Add it as a remote (streamable HTTP) server and sign in when prompted. Skills come with it; nothing else to install. Manual setup per client

Add Sequel to Cursor

One click: the button above opens Cursor with Sequel pre-filled, and Cursor signs you in with your Sequel account. There is no key to paste.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Google Analytics 4 to Cursor?

You need two things: (1) connect Google Analytics 4 to Sequel in your Sequel dashboard under Connections, and (2) add the Sequel MCP config to Cursor using the setup shown above. Once both are done, Cursor can query your Google Analytics 4 data directly.

What Google Analytics 4 data can Cursor access?

Cursor can access any data available through your Google Analytics 4 connection in Sequel. Use Sequel's search tool to discover available metrics and dimensions, then execute queries to pull the data you need.

Is my Google Analytics 4 data sent to Cursor's servers?

Query results are returned to Cursor as context within your conversation. Only the data you explicitly ask about is retrieved. Sequel never stores your query results permanently — they exist only for the duration of the tool call.

Do I need a Sequel account?

Yes. You need a Sequel account to connect Google Analytics 4 and generate an API key. Sign up free at sequel.sh — no credit card required. Then create a connection to Google Analytics 4 and generate an API key from Settings → API Keys.

Can I connect multiple Google Analytics 4 accounts?

Yes. Sequel supports multiple connections of the same type. If you have multiple Google Analytics 4 accounts or properties, add each as a separate connection in Sequel. Cursor will be able to query all of them.

Does this work with Cursor Agent and Cursor Chat?

Yes. Once the MCP config is in your .cursor/mcp.json, Sequel tools are available in both Cursor Chat and Cursor Agent. The agent can call multiple tools in sequence to answer complex questions.

Should I use a project-level or global MCP config?

Use a project-level .cursor/mcp.json for team repos so all collaborators share the same MCP setup. For personal access, add the config globally at ~/.cursor/mcp.json instead.

Can Cursor modify my database through Sequel?

Sequel's query tools are read-only by default. The workbench tool can run Python code, which could write to files, but it runs in an isolated sandbox without direct database write access.

How do I share the Sequel MCP config with my team?

Commit .cursor/mcp.json to your repo. Each team member needs their own Sequel API key — replace the value of the Authorization header with their personal key from Settings → API Keys.

How do I connect Google Analytics to Sequel?

Click 'New Connection', select Google Analytics, give it a name, and click 'Connect with Google'. Sequel will request read-only access to your GA4 properties via OAuth. The entire process takes under a minute.

Which Google Analytics version does Sequel support?

Sequel connects to Google Analytics 4 (GA4). Universal Analytics (UA) is no longer supported by Google and is not available.

What metrics and dimensions can I query?

Sequel has access to the full GA4 Data API: sessions, users, pageviews, events, conversions, bounce rate, engagement rate, revenue, and hundreds of dimensions including source/medium, device, geography, and page path.

How current is the data?

GA4 data is typically 24–48 hours behind real-time. Sequel queries the GA4 Data API directly, so you see exactly what is available in GA4 at query time.
