Experimental...a local GA4 MCP server with a simple installer that doesn't require the AI to figure out how to work with the APIs. Premise: AI's shouldn't be forced to work with raw API methods. Using AE connector tech should dramatically reduce the effort to query and process the responses.

Thoughts so far: - it's not significantly faster, although no direct comparison tests have been run yet -- I want to compare tokens used; they should be a lot lower. - getting an AI to NOT use the API terminology was surprisingly difficult --I had previously installed the official analytics-mcp.

- installation is a breeze. No command line mumbo-jumbo. Simple logins avoid the whole project/credential file nightmare. - building a local MCP server with a user interface opens up a lot of possibilities.
