MCP server ​

In short

  • Ask: from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another MCP assistant, in plain language: how a test is doing, where your funnel leaks, or draft a new experiment.
  • Access: it acts as you and sees only the accounts you can see.
  • Drafts only: it can't launch, pause or deploy. Everything it builds is a draft you launch in Dalton.
  • One exception: a typo fix of up to 20 characters on a running test.

Examples of what you can ask:

  • "How is my homepage hero experiment performing?"
  • "Which product pages lose the most visitors on mobile?"
  • "Draft a test on my collection pages with a clearer delivery promise."

What it can and can't do ​

ReadAnalytics (totals, funnel, traffic sources, page scorecards), experiments and their results, learnings, deployed winners, your brand profile, and these docs
DraftCreate experiments, copy one to other pages, add, edit and remove variants of a draft, add pages to test on
Can'tLaunch, pause, conclude or deploy a test, or change the split, targeting or status of a running test

One exception on running tests: the assistant can fix a small typo in a running or paused variant's code (at most 20 characters, no new or removed changes). Visitors get the fix within minutes, and the earlier version stays in the editor's History.

Access and data ​

  • It acts as you. You sign in with your Dalton login (OAuth). The assistant sees and changes only what you can in the Dalton app, for the accounts you're a member of.
  • Your assistant asks before it acts. Clients like Claude ask your permission the first time each Dalton tool is used.
  • Aggregates, not visitors. Analytics come back as totals and breakdowns. No individual visitor's data is returned. When you ask about a page, the assistant can read that page's content and your brand profile.
  • Every action is logged with the tool, the user and the time.
  • To disconnect, remove the Dalton connector in your assistant's settings.

Server Details ​

Server URLhttps://mcp.getdalton.com
TransportHTTP
AuthenticationSign in with Dalton (OAuth)

When you connect for the first time, a browser window will open and ask you to log in to Dalton and approve access. No API keys to copy or environment variables to set.

The quickest way: install by prompt ​

In Dalton, go to Connectors. At the bottom, under Other, the Connect to Claude or ChatGPT row has Install via prompt. It copies a prompt you paste into your assistant:

Connectors: the Connect to Claude or ChatGPT row with Install via prompt

Read https://docs.getdalton.com/advanced/mcp-server and connect me to the Dalton MCP server, which lets you read my analytics and create experiments.

If you can add MCP servers yourself, do it, then confirm the connection by listing my experiments. If you cannot, give me the exact config and the steps to add it in this client.

Assistants that can add connectors themselves do it for you. The others reply with the exact steps for that app. You can also reach this row from Overview → Use your own agent.

Prefer to set it up by hand? Use the steps below.

Install on Claude Desktop ​

Claude Desktop is the easiest way to get started.

1. Open Settings ​

In Claude Desktop, go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.

2. Add the Dalton Connector ​

Fill in the form:

  • Name: Dalton
  • URL: https://mcp.getdalton.com

Click Add.

3. Sign In ​

Claude will open a browser window asking you to sign in to Dalton and authorize the connection. Approve it.

4. Try It ​

Start a new chat and ask:

"Use Dalton to show me my site's conversion rate this month."

Claude will request permission to call the Dalton tools the first time. Approve, and you're live.

Available on Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans

Custom connectors require a paid Claude plan.

Install on Claude Code ​

Claude Code is Anthropic's CLI for developers. Adding Dalton takes one command.

1. Add the Server ​

In your terminal, run:

bash
claude mcp add --transport http dalton https://mcp.getdalton.com

2. Sign In ​

Start Claude Code (claude) and run:

/mcp

Select dalton from the list and choose Authenticate. A browser window will open for you to sign in to Dalton.

3. Try It ​

Back in your Claude Code session, ask:

"Use Dalton to show me how my checkout experiment is performing."

That's it.

Ask the assistant "What can you do with Dalton?" for the live list of tools.

Troubleshooting ​

The assistant says it can't find Dalton tools. Make sure the connector is enabled in your client's settings, and that you completed the sign-in step. In Claude Code, run /mcp and confirm dalton shows as connected.

Sign-in window didn't open. Some clients block popups. Check your browser, or look in the client's logs for the authorization URL and open it manually.
