Fields

+646 Northbeam fields, ready for Anthropic Claude

Northbeam publishes its own metric catalog, so Porter serves it whole — every metric, at every grain, with the attribution columns exposed rather than hidden.

The vendor's entire catalog

632 metrics read straight from Northbeam’s /exports/metrics endpoint — nothing hand-picked, nothing left out.

Four grains, one lineage

Campaign, platform, ad set and ad. Every grain serves the full metric catalog, so the question decides the level, not the connector.

Attribution as real columns

accounting_mode, attribution_model and attribution_window come back as dimensions you can group by — not as a hidden setting.

Seven attribution models

Every model Northbeam offers, so Claude can compare what each one credits to the same campaign.

Live reads, no warehouse

Porter runs Northbeam’s asynchronous export on demand and answers in the same conversation. Nothing is ingested, nothing goes stale.

Cross-channel blending

Same field-naming standard across Porter, so Northbeam sits next to Meta, Google Ads or Shopify in a single answer.

Prompts

Copy-paste prompts for Northbeam × Claude

Add Porter MCP to Claude (paste https://mcp.portermetrics.com/mcp), open a new conversation, and paste any prompt below.

Which channel actually earns the revenue

Using Northbeam, show me the last 30 days by campaign with spend, attributed revenue and ROAS. Group by attribution model so I can see how much each model credits to the same campaign, and tell me which channels change rank the most between models.

Spend that attribution disagrees about

For the last 14 days, list campaigns where the first-touch and last-touch models disagree by more than 30% on attributed revenue. Show spend, both revenue figures and the gap. Explain which campaigns I would judge differently depending on the model.

Platform-level efficiency

Give me last month at platform level: spend, attributed revenue, ROAS and CAC for each platform. Filter to a single accounting mode and attribution window so the totals are comparable, and say explicitly which combination you used.

New-customer economics

For the last 90 days by campaign, show me new customer revenue and new customer CAC alongside total spend. Rank by new customer CAC ascending and flag any campaign whose CAC is more than double the account median.
Security

Northbeam MCP safety

Porter authenticates to Northbeam with the API key and Data-Client-ID you provide — read-only, and neither half works alone. Anthropic Claude queries Porter, not Northbeam directly, so every conversation is rate-limited at Porter's side. Northbeam allows 60 export requests per minute; Porter polls well below that and never asks twice for an export that is already finished.

  • Caching. Porter caches recent query results for 15 minutes per (account, field set) so repeated Claude prompts don’t hit the API again.
  • Batching. Multiple field requests are merged into a single API call when possible (max 100 records per call for bulk endpoints).
  • Backoff & retry. Exponential backoff on 429 responses (1s → 2s → 4s → 8s).
  • Per-account quotas. Porter tracks per-account usage and enforces a client-side throttle well below the 5 req/s cap.
  • Read-only enforcement. Porter never requests write permissions from Northbeam. Even if a token were compromised, no campaigns, contacts, or automations could be modified.
  • Audited tools. The MCP exposes 6 read-only methods: get_blend_id, list_accounts, list_categories, list_data_sources, list_fields, query_data.

GDPR compliant · 1,600+ marketers trust Porter with their Northbeam data.
