Getting the Most Out of Summer (and What Marketing MCP Means for You)

Sep 4, 2026

Marketing MCP is the connection that lets Claude or ChatGPT read your marketing data and answer a question about a channel, a campaign, or a client, right inside the chat. Summer runs on it, so instead of hunting for the answer across Meta, Google Ads, Shopify, GA4, Klaviyo, and a few manually updated spreadsheets, you just ask and get a verified answer with a receipt behind every number.

We wanted to make marketing data a pleasure, so we built Summer to be the one layer powering all marketing needs. Summer connects to marketing platforms directly, letting you ask plain questions about your data instead of hunting for answers. Every answer comes with a receipt, showing exactly where the number came from, so you can verify instead of blindly trusting. Oh, and one more thing we forgot to mention, Summer normalizes and brings all definitions and metrics no matter what platform they come from, so that you are always comparing apples to apples.

Meet Sunny, your marketing data guru, ready to answer any question or build any report you ask for, receipt included every time.

Step 1: Connect Your Data

Log into Summer and go to Channels. You'll see the platforms you already use; Meta Ads, Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Shopify, and others depending on your setup. Click on any of them to connect, sign in the normal way, and authorize only the accounts you need.

Step 2: Connect Summer to Claude or ChatGPT

This connection is called MCP, and it lets you work directly with your data via Claude or ChatGPT. You can use Summer’s MCP to ask questions, build reports, or schedule tasks.

Once you set up a channel, you'll see Ask AI in the top right corner. That button leads you to the MCP connection instructions, which take about a minute to complete in your AI assistant of choice.

Step 3: Ask Your First Question

Type a question the way you'd ask an analyst, a manager, or your peer. Start simple, something like "Use Summer and tell me what did we spend on Meta ads last month." Once you’ve confirmed the MCP connection is working correctly, go crazy, try something like "Use the Summer to compare our Meta and Google ad spend for the last 30 days, tell me which campaign's driving the most conversions, and flag anything that looks off." Summer can handle either.

Ask Summer any question about your marketing data

Next to every number there is a receipt. Click it and you'll see the source, table, and formula behind each number in case a client is disputing it or wants an audit trail.
