ChatGPT plugins for Data & Analytics
453 plugins, apps and MCP servers in Data & Analytics, ranked by official status, traction and completeness. Page 1 of 8.
People use data plugins in ChatGPT to ask questions of data that lives somewhere else: why a metric moved, how a funnel converts, what last quarter's revenue looked like by segment. Instead of exporting a CSV, you connect the tool that already holds the data and let ChatGPT query it, chart the result and write it up. For a one-off file, uploading the spreadsheet to a chat is often simpler than any plugin.
What you install depends on where your data sits. Apps and plugins from analytics products (Mixpanel, Hex, PostHog, Airtable, ThoughtSpot) connect ChatGPT to that product. OpenAI's own Data Analytics plugin adds skills for the analysis itself, such as KPI design and metric diagnostics. MCP servers cover the warehouse and database layer: BigQuery, dbt, ClickHouse, MongoDB, and Postgres and other databases through Google's MCP Toolbox. Most of those are added in Codex, and several run locally with database credentials.
Before connecting:
- Check whether a tool can write. Several database servers expose a general
execute_sqltool; BigQuery's server also has a read-only variant. Use a read-only database role where you can. - Mind what leaves your systems. Query results go into the conversation, and the connected service's terms apply to data sent through it. On Business, Enterprise and Edu plans, OpenAI says data accessed through connected apps is not used for model training, and admins control which plugins are available.
- Check access. Most of these tools need an existing account with the vendor. Adding your own MCP server to ChatGPT needs developer mode, which is limited to Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.
Top picks for Data & Analytics
OpenAI's Data Analytics plugin adds skills for data quality checks, dashboards, reports, KPI design, metric diagnostics, market sizing and Jupyter notebooks. Ask it why a key metric changed and it works through the likely drivers. It suits analysts and product managers who want a consistent method on top of whichever data source they connect.
Mixpanel's app runs segmentation, funnel and retention analyses on your Mixpanel data from a chat, and can also explore your event taxonomy and manage Lexicon metadata. It suits product teams that already track events in Mixpanel. Because it can edit metadata and fix data quality issues, review those changes before you approve them.
Hex's plugin searches your Hex projects and asks questions through Hex Threads, so you can pull up an existing dashboard or start a new analysis with the Hex Agent. It suits teams whose analysis already lives in a Hex workspace, and it needs one to be useful.
Google Cloud's managed remote server for BigQuery lists datasets and tables, inspects schemas and runs SQL, with OAuth and IAM controlling access. It suits analysts and data engineers on Google Cloud. It needs the MCP Tool User role plus BigQuery permissions; grant only what is needed and use its read-only SQL tool for exploration.
dbt Labs' server gives agents your project's models, lineage and model health, Semantic Layer metrics and dbt CLI commands such as run, build and test. Ask which models depend on a staging table, or query a governed revenue metric. The local server works with dbt Core, Fusion and the dbt platform; a hosted version is available for dbt platform accounts.

ExcelCreate, read and edit Excel workbooks without Microsoft ExcelMCP server · by Haris Musa · 4.2k starsData & Analytics plugins: common questions
- Can ChatGPT connect to Google Analytics?
Yes, through Google's Google Analytics MCP server. It lists accounts and properties, runs standard, funnel and realtime GA4 reports, and reads custom dimensions and metrics. Google describes it as experimental. It runs locally with pipx and authenticates with Application Default Credentials from gcloud, so you set it up in Codex rather than installing it from the Plugin Directory. Supermetrics also lists GA4 among its sources.
- Does ChatGPT work with Power BI or Tableau?
Both have options. OpenAI's Microsoft Power BI plugin works through Power BI in your browser to explain reports, build visuals and publish dashboards, using your existing permissions. It needs the ChatGPT desktop app or desktop Codex and includes no API connection. Tableau's MCP server queries published data sources and works with workbooks and views; Tableau Cloud customers can use a hosted version, or you can run it locally with a personal access token.
- Which ChatGPT plugins work with Excel and Google Sheets?
The main tool is OpenAI's ChatGPT for Excel and Google Sheets add-in, which runs inside the workbook rather than coming from the Plugin Directory. From a chat, the Google Drive plugin can find sheets, inspect ranges and plan updates, and the Airtable plugin queries and updates bases. Our Excel and Google Sheets guide compares every option, including MCP servers for local files.
- Is it safe to connect company data to ChatGPT?
It can be, if access is scoped. Use read-only database roles or tools where they exist, try a staging copy first, and don't send customer personal data you aren't allowed to share. On Business, Enterprise and Edu plans, OpenAI says data accessed through connected apps is not used for model training, and admins decide which plugins and actions members can use. Our security checklist has the details.
