# Getting Started with Tenjin’s MCP Server

## About

[**Tenjin’s MCP Server**](https://tenjin.com/blog/tenjins-mcp-server-query-your-data-directly/) lets your team query marketing performance and manage apps, campaigns, and Callbacks directly from your AI assistant — using plain language, no manual workflows.

You Install it via two plugins:

 **Plugin****What it does**tenjin-coreConnects your assistant to Tenjin’s hosted MCP Server and orients it to the available tools. **(required)**tenjin-sdkAdds per-platform SDK integration guides — iOS, Android, Flutter, Ionic, React Native, Unity. **(optional)**

**Server URL:** [https://mcp.tenjin.com](https://mcp.tenjin.com)

## **Install**

Pick your client. The `@tenjin-agent-plugins` marketplace suffix is required in every Install command.

### **Claude Code (CLI)**

From your shell:

 Bash

```
claude plugin marketplace add tenjin/agent-plugins

claude plugin install tenjin-core@tenjin-agent-plugins

claude plugin install tenjin-sdk@tenjin-agent-plugins   # optional

claude mcp login plugin:tenjin-core:tenjin              # complete authentication in browser
```

```
claude plugin marketplace add tenjin/agent-plugins

claude plugin install tenjin-core@tenjin-agent-plugins

claude plugin install tenjin-sdk@tenjin-agent-plugins   # optional

claude mcp login plugin:tenjin-core:tenjin              # complete authentication in browser
```

Or from inside a Claude Code Session:

 Bash

```
/plugin marketplace add tenjin/agent-plugins

/plugin install tenjin-core@tenjin-agent-plugins

/plugin install tenjin-sdk@tenjin-agent-plugins   # optional

/reload-plugins

/mcp   # choose plugin:tenjin-core:tenjin, then Authenticate, then finish in browser
```

```
/plugin marketplace add tenjin/agent-plugins

/plugin install tenjin-core@tenjin-agent-plugins

/plugin install tenjin-sdk@tenjin-agent-plugins   # optional

/reload-plugins

/mcp   # choose plugin:tenjin-core:tenjin, then Authenticate, then finish in browser
```

### **Claude (Web / Desktop / Cowork)**

1. Open **Customize → Plugins**
2. Click **Add → Add marketplace**
3. Choose **Add from a repository** and enter tenjin/agent-plugins
4. Install tenjin-core (and optionally tenjin-sdk) from the plugin list
5. Connect the ‘tenjin’ connector (MCP Server). Customize -> Connectors -> tenjin -> Connect

### **Codex (CLI)**

bash

 Bash

```
codex plugin marketplace add tenjin/agent-plugins

codex plugin add tenjin-core@tenjin-agent-plugins

codex plugin add tenjin-sdk@tenjin-agent-plugins   # optional

codex mcp login tenjin
```

```
codex plugin marketplace add tenjin/agent-plugins

codex plugin add tenjin-core@tenjin-agent-plugins

codex plugin add tenjin-sdk@tenjin-agent-plugins   # optional

codex mcp login tenjin
```

### **Codex (Desktop)**

1. Click **Plugins** in the sidebar → expand the **+** dropdown → **Add marketplace**
2. For Source, enter tenjin/agent-plugins → **Add Marketplace**
3. Open the **Personal** tab → find “Tenjin Agent Plugins”
4. Click **Install** on tenjin-core — it installs and opens the Tenjin OAuth flow
5. Optional: **Install** tenjin-sdk for SDK skills

You’ll authenticate through Tenjin’s OAuth flow – log in and authorize. Your Session works with whichever Tenjin account you authorize.

### **Cursor (Desktop)**

1. Go to **Customize** → **Plugins** → **Add** → **From Marketplace**.
2. Select **Add Marketplace** → **Import from GitHub**.
3. Enter `tenjin/agent-plugins`.

## **Your First Query**

Start a fresh chat and try: `list my tenjin apps`

 ![](https://tenjin.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/image-2-1024x350.png)

## **What You Can Do**

- **Discover metrics** by category or plain-language description — no need to know exact names
- **Query across** all your apps, channels, and campaigns
- **Filter and group** by date, app, channel, campaign, country, and Site ID
- **Manage** apps, campaigns, tracking links, and S2S Callbacks conversationally
- **Get SDK guidance** for your platform (with tenjin-sdk installed)

## **Onboard a New App**

 **Tenjin MCP Tutorial**

You can set up a brand-new app end to end in a single conversation. For example:

*“Add an app called Skill Test 2, Bundle ID com.skilltest.two, ios in Tenjin”*

 ![](https://tenjin.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/image-1-1024x467.png)

Your assistant creates the app, then offers to continue with campaigns, tracking links, and S2S Callbacks. No jumping between dashboard screens. If you’re unsure, ask it to preview before creating: *“show me what you’d create first.”*

## **Example Prompts**

- *“Show D7 ROAS by channel for my top 5 apps last week, and flag anything down 20%+ week-over-week.”*
- *“Compare 30-day LTV for TikTok vs AppLovin installs last quarter, grouped by country.”*
- *“Create a campaign and tracking link for my iOS app on AppLovin, US geo.”*
- *“Set up Install and purchase Callbacks for my app pointing to my network’s endpoint.”*
- *“Walk me through adding the Tenjin SDK to my React Native app.”*

## **Tips**

- **Start simple, then narrow.** Begin with familiar metrics, then ask for deeper breakdowns.
- **Describe metrics in plain language** if you don’t know the exact name.
- **Keep sessions focused.** Found something useful? Open a fresh chat and re-retrieve — it keeps queries fast and accurate.
- **Go further.** Ask for charts, summaries, or recommended next steps.

## **MCP Only**

If you can’t Install the plugin, or prefer not to add Tenjin’s skills, connect the MCP Server directly at [https://mcp.tenjin.com](https://mcp.tenjin.com)
