Ana Is Now a Claude Code Plugin

When you're working in Claude Code and a question about your data comes up, the answer usually lives somewhere else. You switch to another tab, run the query, copy the result, and come back. The question was small, but answering it pulled you out of what you were doing.

That context switch is gone. Ana is now available as a Claude Code plugin.

Ask questions in the Claude Code prompt and Ana queries your connected sources inline. "What's our DAU trend over the last 30 days?" "Are there anomalies in checkout conversion today?" Anything you can do in an Ana chat is now available as context inside Claude Code: your connected data sources, your organization's ontology, and your past threads.

What you can do

Ana answering a data question inside the Claude Code prompt

Query your data from Claude Code. Ask Ana anything in natural language, right in the prompt. Need to understand a metric shift after a deploy, dig into conversion trends, or check for anomalies? Ana handles the query and returns results without you leaving the terminal.

Reference past Ana threads. If you've already done analytical work in Ana, you don't have to redo it. Claude Code can pull in your existing threads as context, so prior analysis carries forward into what you're working on now.

Explore your connected sources. Not sure what data is available? Ask Ana to walk you through your connected sources and schemas before you query.

Get started

Installing the Ana plugin and connecting via /mcp in Claude Code

Install the plugin:

/plugin marketplace add TextQLLabs/ana-claude-plugin
/plugin install ana@textql

Then authenticate:

/mcp
→ select "ana"
→ sign in with your organization SSO

Claude Code stores and refreshes the token automatically. Once connected, ask Ana anything in the prompt and it routes to your organization's data.

For structured workflows, Ana also exposes slash commands:

/ana:kpi-breakdown <metric> by <dimension> [over <period>]
/ana:period-compare <metric> <period A> vs <period B>
/ana:anomaly-check <metric> [over <window>]
/ana:explore-source <connector name>

For self-hosted deployments, set ANA_MCP_URL before launching Claude Code:

export ANA_MCP_URL="https://your-textql-host/mcp"
claude

For org-wide rollout, push a managed-settings.json through your MDM to pre-register the marketplace and enable the plugin for everyone.

Available now

The Ana plugin is available today for all TextQL customers. Install it, connect once, and start asking questions about your data without leaving Claude Code. For questions or feedback, reach out at support@textql.com.
