How to Connect Amplitude to Claude (and What It Can't Do)
Good news if you searched for this recently: Amplitude is now an official Claude connector. Amplitude built and hosts its own MCP server, and as of mid-2026 it’s listed in Claude’s connector directory — no community server to vet, no self-hosting. That makes Amplitude one of the first product-analytics vendors with a genuinely first-party Claude integration. What hasn’t changed is the shape of the thing: work starts when you ask, or when a schedule you set comes around. Claude will pull your activation funnel on request or every Monday. It will not notice the moment the funnel breaks.
What the official Amplitude MCP server can reach
Amplitude hosts the server at mcp.amplitude.com/mcp (EU orgs get mcp.eu.amplitude.com/mcp), with OAuth scoped to the projects your Amplitude account can already see. Per Amplitude’s MCP docs, it goes well past read-only:
- Read: charts, dashboards, notebooks, cohorts, experiments, event taxonomy, and even Session Replay content
- Write: create and edit charts, dashboards, notebooks, cohorts, experiments, feature flags, and metrics — plus taxonomy management, including tracking-plan branches
Two caveats worth knowing before you lean on it. It’s not an ingestion path — keep sending events through the SDKs or the HTTP V2 API. And very large chart results can get truncated by the AI client, so ask for the cut you need rather than the whole dashboard.
Prompts that map cleanly onto what the server exposes:
- “Build a funnel from
Sign Up→Created Project→Invited Teammatefor the last 30 days, split by plan type.” - “Which events in our taxonomy are missing descriptions? Draft descriptions from their property names.”
- “Create a cohort of users who fired
Upgrade Clickedthis week but never reachedPurchase Completed.”
That last one actually creates the cohort in Amplitude — this is one of the few connectors where Claude edits the analytics workspace, not just reads it.
Turning it on
From Claude on the web or desktop, open Settings → Connectors, find Amplitude in the directory, and complete the OAuth sign-in. In Claude Code, add the server URL and authenticate the same way. EU-region orgs add the EU endpoint as a custom connector instead — and custom connectors require a paid Claude plan, so check yours first. If token usage gets heavy, Amplitude supports a leaner ?discovery=progressive mode on the server URL that loads tool definitions on demand.
Where the timer becomes the bottleneck
The unattended-work gap closed when ChatGPT and Claude Cowork added scheduled runs. Their standard schedulers still start from the clock, not arbitrary events in connected apps; API-triggered ChatGPT Workspace Agents require an external event detector and caller.
With Amplitude specifically, that boundary shows up in three familiar moments:
- Weekly active users dip 12% on Tuesday. A daily Cowork task finds out Wednesday morning. Nothing finds out Tuesday.
- An experiment reaches significance. The connector reads experiment results beautifully, but nothing pings you when the stat-sig threshold clears — you learn it on the next scheduled pass.
- The Monday metrics email. Cowork will pull the activation numbers every Monday. Getting them sent is the catch: Claude’s Gmail connector sends, replies and forwards with your approval, so the digest waits in your drafts unless you’re on Microsoft 365 with write tools switched on.
For interactive analysis, none of this matters. For monitoring, it’s the whole game.
Catching the drop, not just reporting it: Carly
Carly is an AI executive assistant whose workflows run on triggers — schedules and incoming events — in the cloud, and that finish the job by actually sending the output:
- Monday 8am: pull the activation funnel and WAU from Amplitude, write a short narrative of what moved, and email it to the team (Gmail or Outlook, attachments included).
- On a threshold: when a metric crosses a line you set, Carly acts immediately — Slack message, email, task created — instead of waiting for someone to ask.
- Built by interview: describe the report you want in plain English and Carly asks clarifying questions, then assembles the workflow. Nothing to host, no tool definitions to babysit.
AI agents start at $35/month, and workflow steps that don’t use AI run free. Amplitude is one of 200+ apps Carly connects to.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Claude integrate with Amplitude?
Yes — and since 2026, officially. Amplitude publishes its own hosted MCP server and appears in Claude’s connector directory, so you enable it with an OAuth sign-in rather than hunting for a community server. Inside a chat, Claude can query and edit charts, dashboards, cohorts, experiments, and taxonomy.
Is the Amplitude connector read-only?
No, and that’s unusual. Amplitude’s MCP server exposes write tools: Claude can create charts, notebooks, cohorts, feature flags, and metrics, and manage your event taxonomy. It cannot ingest events — tracking still goes through your SDKs.
Do I need a paid Claude plan for the Amplitude connector?
The US directory connector enables via OAuth on plans that support connectors. If you’re on Amplitude’s EU data center, you add the EU endpoint as a custom connector, and custom connectors do require a paid Claude plan.
Can Claude email me my Amplitude dashboard every Monday?
It can pull them. Sending is the problem. A Cowork scheduled task will run the Amplitude query every Monday, but Claude’s Gmail connector asks you to approve each send, so the digest waits on your click rather than reaching the team’s inboxes on its own. Carly pulls the metrics on a schedule and actually sends the digest by email or Slack. AI agents start at $35/month.
Can Claude alert me when a metric drops?
No — nothing in the connector fires on a metric change, and a scheduled task only looks when the clock says to. Claude can diagnose a drop brilliantly once you ask; catching it as it happens is monitoring, which is Carly’s territory.

See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
