Step-by-Step Implementation

Step 1: Connect Data Sources

  1. Connect Marketing Channels (Ads, email, social)
  2. Connect Analytics (Website touchpoints)
  3. Connect CRM (Conversions, customer data)

Step 2: Create Attribution Views

Customer Journey View:
CREATE VIEW customer_journey AS
SELECT 
  c.customer_id,
  c.conversion_date,
  t.touchpoint_id,
  t.channel,
  t.touchpoint_date,
  t.touchpoint_type,
  ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY c.customer_id ORDER BY t.touchpoint_date) as touchpoint_order
FROM conversions c
JOIN touchpoints t ON c.customer_id = t.customer_id
WHERE t.touchpoint_date <= c.conversion_date;
Attribution Analysis View:
CREATE VIEW attribution_analysis AS
SELECT 
  channel,
  COUNT(DISTINCT customer_id) as conversions,
  -- First touch
  SUM(CASE WHEN touchpoint_order = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as first_touch,
  -- Last touch
  SUM(CASE WHEN touchpoint_order = max_touchpoint THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as last_touch,
  -- Linear
  COUNT(DISTINCT customer_id) / max_touchpoint as linear_attribution
FROM customer_journey
GROUP BY channel;

Step 3: Create MCP Tools

Tool 1: Track Customer Journey
  • track_customer_journey(customer_id: string)
Tool 2: Attribute Conversion
  • attribute_conversion(conversion_id: string, model: string)
Tool 3: Analyze Channel Effectiveness
  • analyze_channel_effectiveness(model: string, period: string)
Tool 4: Compare Attribution Models
  • compare_attribution_models(conversion_id: string)
