About Amplitude

Amplitude is an MCP server for product and behavioral analytics, with queries for events, active users, retention, and user activity. It also searches users by ID or property and returns matching profiles and event history.

Key features

  1. 01Break down event counts and trends by date
  2. 02Query daily, weekly, or monthly active users
  3. 03Analyze cohort retention
  4. 04Search users by ID or property
  5. 05View a user's recent event timeline

Use cases

  1. 01Compare product events across date ranges
  2. 02Track changes in active users
  3. 03Evaluate retention for a user cohort
  4. 04Find users and inspect recent activity

MCP support

It exposes Amplitude analytics and user-query tools to MCP clients through the Pipeworx gateway or as a local stdio MCP server. API use requires supplying an own API key.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

askstringNoAlias for question.
textstringNoAlias for question.
inputstringNoAlias for question.
packsarrayNoOPTIONAL. Restrict routing to these pack slugs (e.g. ["sec-form-d","sec-13f"]) — the router then picks only from tools in those packs. Omit for the default full-catalog routing. Slugs come from list_packs / search_packs / https://pipeworx.io/directory; unlisted or unknown slugs are ignored and named in _meta.pack_scope.ignored, and if none of them resolves the question is routed across the whole catalog with _meta.pack_scope.full_catalog:true (never an empty answer).
querystringNoAlias for question.
promptstringNoAlias for question.
messagestringNoAlias for question.
questionstringYesYour question or request in natural language. Accepts query, q, prompt, text, input, ask, message as aliases.

Amplitude MCP Pack

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1872+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

ToolDescription
amp_get_eventsGet event counts and breakdowns for a date range (e.g., "2024-01-01" to "2024-01-31"). Returns frequency, user segments, and trends by event name.
amp_get_active_usersGet active user counts by granularity (daily, weekly, or monthly) for a date range. Returns totals and trend data.
amp_get_retentionGet user retention metrics for a cohort over time. Returns retention percentages by time period (e.g., day 1, day 7, day 30).
amp_user_searchSearch for users by ID or property (e.g., email, user_id). Returns matching profiles with properties, event history, and segments.
amp_get_user_activityGet recent event activity timeline for a specific user. Returns events with timestamps, properties, and interactions.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amplitude": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/amplitude/mcp"
    }
  }
}
What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/amplitude/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1872+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

This pack takes your own API key (_apiKey) — we don't front one for it, so there's no curl here that would run without it. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/amp_get_events. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amplitude": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-amplitude"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-amplitude

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Amplitude data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
