Quickstart

To start with InsightfulPipe, create an account, connect a platform account such as Google Ads, add its MCP server to your AI client, and ask a question in plain language. Plans start at $29.99/month with a 7-day free trial.

1. Create your account

Sign up at app.insightfulpipe.com and choose a plan. Your workspace is the shared space for your team, brands and connections.

2. Add a brand

Open Brands and click Add Brand. A brand groups the connections for one business, client or product. Fill in the description, industry, target audience and website: agents receive these details with the brand, which helps them frame answers.

3. Connect a platform

Open Connectors, pick a platform such as Google Ads, and click Connect. Choose Read Only if you only need reporting, or Read + Write if agents should be able to make changes. See First Connection.

4. Add the MCP server to your AI client

Open MCP Servers in the app and pick the platform. Its guide shows the server URL, for example https://google-ads.insightfulmcp.com/, and steps for each client:

Claude: add InsightfulPipe from the Claude Directory, or add the URL as a custom connector. See Claude Setup.
ChatGPT: add InsightfulPipe from the ChatGPT app directory, or add the server URL as an app in Developer mode. See ChatGPT Setup.
Claude Code: run claude mcp add --transport http google-ads-mcp https://google-ads.insightfulmcp.com/. See Claude Code Setup.
Cursor, Gemini CLI and Codex CLI: see Cursor Setup, Gemini CLI Setup and Codex CLI Setup.

Every path ends with clicking Authorize access in the browser.

5. Ask a question

Try a prompt such as:

"Use Google Ads to list my top 10 campaigns by spend last month."
"Which Google Analytics 4 channels brought the most sessions last week?"

The agent looks up your connected accounts first, then calls the actions it needs.

Prefer the terminal?

Install the CLI with npm install -g insightfulpipe, sign in with insightfulpipe auth, and run it from your terminal or coding agent. See InsightfulPipe CLI.
