Amplitude MCP server for AI agents.
actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Amplitude and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 77 Amplitude actions (35 reads, 33 writes and 9 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Amplitude credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Amplitude's limits and records every call.
100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you.

Set up
Connect Amplitude in three steps.
- 01
Add actionlake to Claude.
Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us.

Top actions
The Amplitude API, shaped for agents.
The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 2 of Amplitude's 3 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Governance for Amplitude
Destructive actions wait for a yes.
9 Amplitude actions are destructive. These are all of them:
- Delete a chart annotation
amplitude.annotations.delete - Delete an event type
amplitude.event_types.delete - Delete a lookup table
amplitude.lookup_tables.delete - Remove a user from a pending deletion job
amplitude.user_deletions.delete - Delete a user property
amplitude.user_properties.delete - Delete a lookup table (EU data centre)
amplitude.eu_lookup_tables.delete - Delete an event category
amplitude.event_categories.delete - Delete an event property
amplitude.event_properties.delete - Delete an annotation category
amplitude.annotation_categories.delete
A destructive action runs only with confirm: true. Under the human policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after.
Delete a chart annotation?

What Amplitude costs on actionlake.
Every Amplitude action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, check, cost, account and any call Amplitude refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

Questions
The Amplitude MCP server, answered.
Is there an Amplitude MCP server for Claude?
Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 77 Amplitude actions across annotation categories, event properties, event types and user properties, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Amplitude.
What do I need to connect Amplitude?
Amplitude project secret key (Settings > Projects > [project] > General, or Organization settings > API keys). Plus your api key and your host. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "amplitude" } lists exactly what to paste.
Can an AI agent delete or change things in Amplitude?
Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 9 Amplitude actions are destructive, including delete a chart annotation, delete an event type and delete a lookup table. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it.
Will an AI agent use up my Amplitude API limit?
actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Amplitude service file: 100 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (34 Amplitude actions can be), which never reaches Amplitude.
What does an Amplitude action cost?
One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (77 Amplitude actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Amplitude refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.
Which Amplitude API does it cover?
The Amplitude (product analytics: Dashboard REST queries, cohorts, annotations, releases, taxonomy, user privacy, lookup tables, event ingestion) API Dashboard REST v2/v3, Behavioral Cohorts v3/v5, Chart Annotations v3, Taxonomy v2, HTTP V2 at amplitude.com by default, or the base URL set when you connect. It is built from Amplitude's documentation as read on 22 October 2026. 77 actions in 35 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).
Does actionlake keep my Amplitude data, and where?
actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to an hour, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Amplitude credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models.
Which AI clients can use it?
Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names.
