General instructions for connecting the Metrics MCP

Server settings and authentication for a custom MCP connection

The Metrics MCP works in any AI tool that supports custom MCP connections.

Manual configuration

Add a custom MCP server in your AI tool and enter this server URL:

https://gateway.geckoboard.com/mcp

Name the connection Geckoboard. If asked for a transport, choose Streamable HTTP (sometimes labelled HTTP).

For clients that use a JSON configuration file, add Geckoboard to the mcpServers section:

{
"mcpServers": {
"geckoboard": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://gateway.geckoboard.com/mcp"
}
}
}

Your client’s documentation will explain where to put the configuration and whether it uses a different format.

Authentication

Select OAuth if your tool asks how to authenticate. It will open Geckoboard’s sign-in page, where you can sign in and authorize the connection.

Geckoboard supports Dynamic Client Registration (DCR), which lets compatible clients register automatically. With this flow, you don’t need to create your own OAuth client credentials. If your tool requires pre-registered client credentials, contact support with the tool’s name and requirements.
