Amplitude MCP

How to Install and Use Amplitude MCP

Amplitude MCP is a powerful tool that lets you analyze your product data, experiments, and user behavior using natural language through AI. To start using it, you need to connect your Amplitude account with an MCP-compatible tool like Claude or Cursor.

Setting Up Amplitude MCP in Your AI Tool

Before you begin, make sure you have an existing Amplitude account and a tool that supports MCP servers, such as VS Code, Cursor, Replit, or Claude.

Here’s how you set up Amplitude MCP step-by-step:

1. Open your AI tool or go to claude.ai.

2. Navigate to the settings menu, usually found under Settings > Connectors or a similar section.

3. Click on “Add custom connector” to start adding Amplitude MCP.

4. Fill in the connector details:

   • Name: Amplitude
   • URL: https://mcp.amplitude.com/mcp

   If your data is stored in the EU, use the EU server URL instead:

   • URL: https://mcp.eu.amplitude.com/mcp

5. Complete the OAuth process to authorize Amplitude MCP to access your Amplitude data securely.

Using Amplitude MCP With Queries

Once the setup is complete, you can start asking your AI tool questions about your Amplitude data. The Amplitude MCP server supports many tools that help you get the insight you need.

Here are sample queries you can try:

What were the daily active users over the last 7 days?
Show signup conversion rates by traffic source this month.
Which features have the highest engagement rates?

For experiment analysis, you might ask:

What's the performance of the checkout experiment?
Show the statistical significance of the new onboarding flow.
Which experiment variants are running?

How the Analysis Process Works

When using Amplitude MCP, your usual workflow will follow these steps:

1. Search for related charts, dashboards, or experiments in your Amplitude workspace.
2. Retrieve full details and metadata about the content you found.
3. Query data from charts or datasets to get numbers and trends.
4. Analyze the results and ask follow-up questions for more insights.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you run into problems, here are some quick tips:

• Make sure you are logged into the correct Amplitude account with permission to access your projects.
• Log out and back in if OAuth authorization isn’t working.
• If the AI tool seems slow or times out, try breaking your questions into smaller parts.
• In tools like Cursor, clear MCP tokens and re-authenticate if you see tool call failures.

Summary

Installing and using Amplitude MCP is straightforward. Add the connector in your AI tool, connect with OAuth, and start asking natural language questions about your Amplitude data. Use the URLs for your region, and follow the four-step analysis process to get meaningful results quickly.

This simple setup lets you unlock critical insights without writing complex queries, helping you understand user behavior and improve your product faster.
