Add the server to your AI app

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "open-tracked": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/open-tracked-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "OPEN_TRACKED_URL": "https://app.opentracked.io",
        "OPEN_TRACKED_TOKEN": "paste your token here"
      }
    }
  }
}

claude mcp add open-tracked \
  -e OPEN_TRACKED_URL=https://app.opentracked.io \
  -e OPEN_TRACKED_TOKEN=your-token \
  -- node /path/to/open-tracked-mcp/dist/index.js

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "open-tracked": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/open-tracked-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "OPEN_TRACKED_URL": "https://app.opentracked.io",
        "OPEN_TRACKED_TOKEN": "paste your token here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart your AI app and check it

Quit the app completely and open it again. In Claude Desktop, Developer lists open-tracked as running. In Claude Code run claude mcp list: it should say Connected. Then ask:

List my Open Tracked containers and tell me the tracking score of the first one.

Optional: connect Google Tag Manager

1. In Google Cloud enable the Tag Manager API, create a service account and download a JSON key.
2. In Tag Manager, Admin, User management, add the service account's e-mail with Edit rights, for the web container and the server container.
3. Add the key to the server settings, one more line in the same block as step 3:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "open-tracked": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/open-tracked-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "OPEN_TRACKED_URL": "https://app.opentracked.io",
        "OPEN_TRACKED_TOKEN": "paste your token here",
        "GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY": "{ ...the service account key JSON, on one line... }"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart your AI app. The Tag Manager tools now show up.
