5 Best Deep Linking and Attribution MCP Servers in 2026
Five MCP servers for deep links and mobile attribution in 2026, compared on tools, sign-in, and access: WarpLink, Grovs, Kochava, AppsFlyer, Branch.
TL;DR: WarpLink is the best deep linking and attribution MCP server in 2026. Its 34 tools let Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client create links, read install attribution, and query analytics, with OAuth sign-in, a Claude Connectors Directory listing, and no extra charge. Grovs, Kochava, AppsFlyer, and Branch are compared below.
| # | Server | Best for | Tools | Sign-in | Creates links | Install attribution data | Plan needed |

An MCP server lets an AI assistant work with your link and attribution data directly: create a link, ask which campaign drove last week's installs, or pull an export. Broad "best MCP servers for marketing" lists mostly cover web analytics and ad platforms. This list covers the servers that touch mobile links and installs. We found five real ones, checked against each vendor's own pages and repositories on 20 October 2026.
How we ranked
- Real tool coverage: how much of the link and attribution workflow an assistant can do, not only read.
- Sign-in: OAuth in a browser beats pasting a long-lived key.
- Availability: a listing in a client directory and a free way to start.
- Price transparency: what the MCP server costs on top of the product.
- Attribution and analytics depth: installs, matches, and click data an assistant can query.
- Setup time: from zero to a working connection in minutes.
1. WarpLink
WarpLink is link infrastructure for mobile teams: deep linking, install attribution, and real-time analytics in one SDK. Its MCP server exposes 34 tools at https://api.warplink.app/mcp, and WarpLink is listed in the Claude Connectors Directory, so you can add it from claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and the Claude mobile apps without copying a URL.
- Links:
create_link,list_links,update_link,deactivate_link,activate_link,delete_link, andresolve_linkto debug where a slug routes. - Analytics and attribution:
query_analyticsanswers overview, breakdown, trend, leaderboard, and comparison questions.get_link_analyticsreturns click stats for one link.list_installsandlist_attribution_attemptsreturn install records and the reason each unmatched attempt did not match.export_analyticscreates a full click-data export. - Apps, domains, and keys: register apps, manage custom domains and their verification status, and create or revoke API keys.
- Money: record link expenses and export the ledger.
Sign in once in the browser with OAuth, or use an API key (Authorization: Bearer wl_live_...) for CI. Each tool declares the scope it needs, such as links:read or analytics:read, and destructive tools such as delete_link are annotated so clients can ask first. The MCP server is free on every plan and shares the REST API's limit of 60 requests a minute per credential. Behind it sits the same free plan: $0 for 10,000 clicks a month with deep links, deferred deep links, install attribution, and analytics, plus iOS, Android, React Native, and Flutter SDKs. Paid plans start at $19 a month on the pricing page. Measured install matching is published on attribution accuracy: of 309 matched installs, 303 went to the correct link (98.1 percent).
Connect from Claude Code with:
claude mcp add --transport http warplink https://api.warplink.app/mcp
Then run /mcp and choose Authenticate. Setup for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf is in AI access. WarpLink also has a Zapier integration for workflows outside an AI client.
2. Grovs
Grovs is a deep linking and attribution service with open-source SDKs for iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native, and web. Its MCP server is MIT licensed and exposes 16 tools: account status and usage, link create, get, update, archive, and search, analytics overview, link analytics, and top links, campaign management, and redirect and SDK configuration. Sign-in is OAuth in the browser, with no API keys. It covers the link workflow well. WarpLink's server goes further with 34 tools, including install records, attribution attempts and their reasons, custom domains, and exports.
3. Kochava
Kochava publishes a remote MCP server at https://analytics.mcp.kochava.com/mcp over Streamable HTTP, with 30 tools: two public signup tools and 28 that use your Kochava API key in an authentication-key header. An assistant can create a Free App Analytics account, run analytics, funnel, LTV, and retention queries, and list, create, and update campaigns, trackers, and segments. It is built for attribution reporting across media partners. Authentication is a key rather than a browser sign-in. For an assistant that creates and manages app links and reads install matches, WarpLink's OAuth-based server is the shorter path, and our Kochava comparison covers the product side.
4. AppsFlyer
AppsFlyer launched its MCP server in July 2025 through Claude, moved it to open beta in October 2025, and lists it as open to all AppsFlyer users. AppsFlyer describes it as a way for marketing teams to access data and manage campaigns, with plain-language campaign performance questions, audience visibility, and link governance in OneLink. See the product news and the beta support article for setup. If you want an assistant that creates and updates app links and reads install matches, WarpLink's server covers that, and our AppsFlyer comparison covers the product side.
5. Branch
Branch runs its MCP server at https://ai.branch.io/mcp as a closed beta. Access is invite-only and granted per user through a sign-up form. Sign-in is OAuth 2.0 with your Branch credentials. The server runs aggregate analytics queries through the Branch Query API, covering clicks, installs, reinstalls, opens, impressions, commerce events, and cost, grouped by campaign, channel, ad partner, platform, OS, and country. Branch lists Claude, Claude Code, and ChatGPT Codex as supported clients. Branch publishes no tool count, and link creation is not part of the beta. WarpLink's server is available to every account today, including the free plan, and creates and manages links alongside analytics. Our Branch comparison covers the product side.
