Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Adobe Customer Journey Analytics (CJA), enabling AI-powered analytics queries through Claude and other MCP clients.

## ⚡ Quick Start (Simplest Setup)

**No repository cloning required!** Users can run this MCP server with just 2 steps:

### 1. Install `uv` (Python package manager)

```bash
# macOS/Linux
brew install uv

# Or with curl
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Windows
powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
```

### 2. Configure Claude Desktop

Edit `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS) or `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` (Windows):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Adobe CJA": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["adobe-cja-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ADOBE_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id_here",
        "ADOBE_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret_here",
        "ADOBE_ORG_ID": "your_org_id@AdobeOrg",
        "ADOBE_DATA_VIEW_ID": "dv_your_dataview_id"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**That's it!**

Restart Claude Desktop and `uvx` will automatically download and run the MCP server from PyPI - just like `npx` for Node.js!

## Overview

This MCP server provides tools for querying Adobe CJA data, including:

- Running analytics reports with dimensions and metrics
- Multi-dimensional breakdown analysis
- Time-series trend analysis at various granularities
- Searching and filtering dimension values
- Listing available dimensions and metrics
- Data view configuration access

## Features

**Core Reporting Tools (MVP):**

- Run ranked reports with dimensions and metrics
- Get top N items for any dimension
- List available dimensions and metrics
- Access data view configuration

**Advanced Reporting:**

- **Breakdown Reports**: Multi-dimensional analysis (e.g., pages by device type)
- **Trended Reports**: Time-series analysis with hourly/daily/weekly/monthly granularity
- **Dimension Search**: Find specific dimension values (pages, products, campaigns)
- **Segment Support**: Filter reports with segment IDs

## Adobe CJA API Permissions

### Required Permissions Scope

For this MCP server to function, your Adobe API credentials (OAuth 2.0 Server-to-Server) **must** have the following permissions granted in Adobe Admin Console.

### Authentication Scopes

Your API credentials require these OAuth scopes:

```
openid
AdobeID
read_organizations
additional_info.projectedProductContext
cja.reporting         # CRITICAL - Required for all reporting operations
cja.workspace         # Required for workspace objects (projects, filters, etc.)
```

### Critical Permissions (Required for Core Functionality)

Without these permissions, the MCP server **cannot perform analytics queries**:

#### 1. CJA Reporting API - Ranked Reports

- **API Endpoint**: `POST https://cja.adobe.io/reports`
- **Permission**: CJA Reporting API Access
- **Required For**:
  - Running analytical reports with dimensions and metrics
  - Querying website performance data (sessions, page views, conversions)
  - Generating attribution analysis
  - Creating breakdown reports
- **MCP Tools Blocked Without Permission**:
  - `cja_run_report` - Main reporting tool
  - `cja_get_top_items` - Top performers analysis
  - `cja_get_trended_report` - Time-series analysis
  - `cja_get_breakdown_report` - Multi-dimensional breakdowns
  - `cja_get_sessions_data` - Session analytics
  - `cja_get_conversions_data` - Conversion tracking
  - `cja_get_attribution_analysis` - Attribution modeling
  - `cja_get_funnel_analysis` - Funnel analysis

#### 2. CJA Reporting API - Top Items

- **API Endpoint**: `GET https://cja.adobe.io/reports/topItems`
- **Permission**: CJA Reporting API Access
- **Required For**:
  - Ranking dimension items by metrics
  - Finding top pages, products, campaigns
- **MCP Tools Blocked Without Permission**:
  - `cja_get_top_items` (alternative implementation)

### Working Permissions (Read-Only Access)

These permissions are typically granted by default for read-only CJA API access and should already be available:

1. **GET `/data/dataviews/{id}/dimensions`** - List available dimensions
2. **GET `/data/dataviews/{id}/metrics`** - List available metrics
3. **GET `/data/dataviews/{id}`** - Get data view configuration details
4. **GET `/calculatedmetrics`** - List calculated metrics
5. **GET `/filters`** - List filters/segments
6. **GET `/dateranges`** - List date ranges
7. **GET `/annotations`** - List annotations
8. **GET `/projects`** - List Analysis Workspace projects
9. **GET `/data/connections`** - List data connections

### Optional Permissions (Enhanced Features)

These permissions enable additional features but are not required for basic operation:

#### Individual Dimension/Metric Details

- **Endpoints**:
  - `GET /data/dataviews/{id}/dimensions/{dimId}`
  - `GET /data/dataviews/{id}/metrics/{metricId}`
- **Benefit**: Get detailed metadata for specific dimensions/metrics
- **Workaround**: Use list endpoints instead

#### Filter Validation

- **Endpoint**: `POST /filters/validate`
- **Benefit**: Validate filter definitions before use
- **Workaround**: Test filters directly in reports

#### List All Data Views

- **Endpoint**: `GET /dataviews`
- **Benefit**: Discover all available data views
- **Workaround**: Use configured data view ID from environment variables

## Setting Up Permissions in Adobe Admin Console

### Step 1: Navigate to API Credentials

1. Log in to [Adobe Admin Console](https://adminconsole.adobe.com/)
2. Navigate to **Products** → **Customer Journey Analytics**
3. Click on **API Credentials**
4. Select your OAuth Server-to-Server credential (Client ID)

### Step 2: Add Product Profile

1. Click **Add Product Profile**
2. Select a profile that includes **CJA Reporting API Access**
3. Ensure the profile has the following permissions:
   - **Reporting API**: Full access to POST /reports and GET /reports/topItems
   - **Workspace API**: Access to filters, calculated metrics, projects
   - **Data Views**: Read access to configured data views

### Step 3: Verify OAuth Scopes

In the API credential configuration, verify these scopes are enabled:

- `openid`
- `AdobeID`
- `read_organizations`
- `additional_info.projectedProductContext`
- `cja.reporting` ← **CRITICAL**
- `cja.workspace` ← **CRITICAL**

### Step 4: Generate New Credentials (if needed)

If updating an existing credential doesn't enable reporting access:

1. Create a new OAuth Server-to-Server credential
2. Add CJA API as a service
3. Select a Product Profile with full Reporting API access
4. Copy the new Client ID and Client Secret to your `.env` file
