Zoho Apptics MCP server

Overview

Note: Zoho Apptics MCP server is under development and currently available in BETA phase. Some functions may not be available and you may experience some bugs during this period.

Zoho Apptics Model Context Protocol (MCP) server helps teams to analyze product data such as usage, engagement, performance stats using conversational AI. Query data directly through AI interfaces (Claude, Cursor, etc.) using natural language without any SQL queries or deep analysis of the dashboard.

Zoho Apptics MCP server supports the MCP features:

Remote MCP server or a locally hosted MCP server.
OAuth support for authentication.
14+ tool calls & prompts for bringing more context to the Apptics data in your LLM.
