Two Minute Reports aggregates 30+ ad and analytics platforms behind a single account — perfect for agencies and growth teams running multi-channel campaigns. Connecting Two Minute Reports to clariBI exposes every connected channel as a single MCP source.
Why connect Two Minute Reports
Multi-channel attribution questions ("which channels drove the most revenue last week?") usually mean opening 5 different dashboards. Two Minute Reports collapses them; the MCP exposes that consolidation to the AI engine.
You can ask "Compare Google Ads CPC vs Meta Ads CPC last 30 days", "What was our blended ROAS across channels last quarter?", or "Top performing creative across TikTok and Snapchat" and the AI engine routes through one Two Minute Reports account.
How the connection works
clariBI talks to Two Minute Reports through its hosted MCP server at https://mcp.twominutereports.com/mcp. Authentication uses an OAuth flow that clariBI registers itself for (no developer console setup on your side). Tokens stay encrypted server-side and never leave clariBI in clear form.

Available tools
clariBI exposes the read-only Two Minute Reports tools that the vendor's MCP server publishes at connection time. Write operations (create, update, delete, send, refund) are filtered out by a name-pattern blocklist before any tool reaches the analysis engine, so connecting Two Minute Reports cannot modify data on the vendor side.
The exact tool inventory depends on the Two Minute Reports features your account has access to. After connecting, try a few natural-language questions to see what Two Minute Reports data clariBI can pull.
