About RudderStack
RudderStack MCP is a hosted server that connects AI assistants and developer tools to a RudderStack workspace. Its tools cover workspace inspection as well as selected changes to audiences, transformations, destinations, and syncs.
Key features
- 01Inspect workspace settings, pipelines, and schemas
- 02View metrics, profiles, audiences, and service status
- 03Create or update audiences and transformations
- 04Connect audiences and transformations to destinations
- 05Trigger audience activation syncs
- 06Use OAuth 2.0 browser-based authorization
Use cases
- 01Review workspace pipelines and schemas
- 02Inspect audience and profile information
- 03Update transformations or audience configurations
- 04Connect an audience to a destination and trigger a sync
MCP support
Provides a hosted MCP server at https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp using Streamable HTTP. MCP clients authenticate with browser-based OAuth 2.0; tools act with the authorized RudderStack user's workspace permissions.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.
https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcpclaude mcp add --transport http rudderlabs-rudderstack https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp{"mcpServers":{"rudderlabs-rudderstack":{"type":"http","url":"https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp"}}}Open in Cursor{"servers":{"rudderlabs-rudderstack":{"type":"http","url":"https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp"}}}Open in VS Code{"mcpServers":{"rudderlabs-rudderstack":{"type":"http","url":"https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp"}}}{"mcpServers":{"rudderlabs-rudderstack":{"serverUrl":"https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp"}}}Run commands in a terminal; paste JSON into the client’s MCP config and restart. Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.

Details
From the project READMERudderStack MCP
Connect AI assistants and developer tools to your RudderStack workspace through the hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.
Important
This public repository contains registry metadata, setup examples, and documentation for the hosted RudderStack MCP server. It does not contain the server implementation source code, and its MIT license applies only to this repository's contents.
- Endpoint:
https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp - Transport: Streamable HTTP
- Authentication: OAuth 2.0 with browser-based RudderStack login and authorization
- Canonical setup guide: RudderStack MCP documentation
- Tool reference: Read and write capabilities
Connect
Native remote-MCP clients can connect directly to:
https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp
On the first connection, the client opens a browser so you can sign in to RudderStack and authorize access. No token or client secret belongs in these configuration files.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user rudderstack https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp
Then run /mcp in Claude Code, select rudderstack, choose Authenticate, and sign in to RudderStack in the browser.
Claude
In Settings → Connectors, choose Add custom connector, name it RudderStack, and enter https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp.
For clients that require a local stdio command, use:
npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp
See examples/.mcp.json for the corresponding JSON configuration.
ChatGPT
Until RudderStack is in the ChatGPT app directory, add it as a custom MCP server: open Plugins, select +, choose Add custom MCP server, name it RudderStack, enter https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp, choose OAuth, then sign in to RudderStack. If the option is missing, turn on Developer mode under Settings → Security and Login, or ask your workspace admin to allow custom MCP servers. See OpenAI's guide: Connecting custom MCP servers in ChatGPT.
Codex
Add to ~/.codex/config.toml:
[mcp_servers.rudderstack]
url = "https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp"
Then run codex mcp login rudderstack and sign in to RudderStack in the browser.
VS Code
Create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace using examples/.vscode/mcp.json, then start the rudderstack server from VS Code's MCP controls.
Cursor
Copy examples/.cursor/mcp.json to .cursor/mcp.json, then enable rudderstack in Settings → Tools & Integrations → MCP Tools.
Cline
In Cline, open MCP Servers → Remote Servers, add a server named rudderstack with URL https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp and transport Streamable HTTP, then sign in to RudderStack in the browser when prompted.
Gemini CLI
Install the extension from this repository:
gemini extensions install https://github.com/rudderlabs/rudderstack-mcp
Then run /mcp auth rudderstack in Gemini CLI, sign in to RudderStack in the browser, and approve access. The extension manifest is gemini-extension.json.
Pi
pi mcp add rudderstack --url https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp
pi mcp login rudderstack
The login opens a browser so you can sign in to RudderStack.
Windsurf and other clients
Add a custom MCP server with command npx and arguments -y, mcp-remote, and https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp. Clients with native Streamable HTTP support can use the endpoint directly.
Authentication and permissions
RudderStack uses OAuth 2.0 with PKCE and accepts client ID metadata documents alongside dynamic client registration. A compatible client discovers the authorization metadata, opens RudderStack login in your browser, and stores the resulting credentials according to that client's security model.
Tools run with the permissions of the RudderStack user and workspace you authorize. Review tool calls before approving them, especially write operations. Workspace tools require workspace_id (or workspaceId) from user_details on every call; the endpoint is stateless.
Tool access
Most tools inspect workspace settings, pipelines, schemas, metrics, profiles, audiences, documentation, and service status. Some tools make control-plane changes or trigger syncs, including:
- creating or updating audiences;
- connecting audiences to destinations;
- creating rETL audience activations;
- triggering audience-activation syncs;
- creating or updating transformations; and
- connecting transformations to destinations.
Transformation tests, audience previews, Reverse ETL failed-record reads, and audience-activation planning do not persist control-plane configuration, but they can execute code or submit temporary warehouse work. See docs/tools.md for every tool exposed by the hosted /mcp endpoint, its classification, and conditionally available tools.
Security and support

Comments
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.
