# 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.

[Connect Amplitude free](https://actionlake.com/console?start=sandbox) [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing)

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.

`claude mcp add --transport http actionlake https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp`

the first call

```
do {
  action: "amplitude.cohorts.list",
  intent: "check which Amplitude account is connected"
}
# List behavioral cohorts · read · 1 upstream call
```

- 77 actions in one signed file
- 35 read look, never change
- 33 write create and update
- 9 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first

Set up

## Connect Amplitude in three steps.

1. 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.
   `https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp`
2. 02
   ### Connect Amplitude.
   Username and secret. No consent screen: your agent can connect it for you, but the key then passes through your chat. To keep it out of the model's context, paste it in the console instead. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key.
   - `secret_key` Amplitude project secret key (Settings > Projects > [project] > General, or Organization settings > API keys)
   - `api_key` Your Amplitude api key
   - `host` Where your Amplitude lives: your host
   ```
   account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "amplitude" }
   # free: exactly what to paste, and what is found for you
   ```
3. 03
   ### Make the first call. Check before a write.
   Ask in plain words; Claude picks the action. Before anything changes, `check` validates the call and prices it, for free.
   ```
   do    { action: "amplitude.cohorts.list" }
   # list behavioral cohorts · read · 1 upstream call
   check { action: "amplitude.cohorts.upload", input: { … } }
   # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent
   ```

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.

| Action | What it does | Effect | Same name in |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `amplitude.cohorts.list` List behavioral cohorts | List behavioral cohorts. | read | `analytics.segment.list` 17 connectors |
| `amplitude.charts.query` Get the results of a saved chart | Get the results of a saved chart. | read | this connector |
| `amplitude.annotations.list` List chart annotations | List chart annotations. | read | this connector |

Try it

## Prompts to paste into Claude.

Each one names the Amplitude actions it will call, so you know what it reads and what it changes before you send it.

1. Read read
   List behavioral cohorts in Amplitude and tell me what stands out.
   calls `amplitude.cohorts.list`
2. Write write
   Upload a cohort of user ids (create or replace) in Amplitude. Show me exactly what you will send before you save it.
   calls `amplitude.cohorts.upload`

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.

do amplitude.annotations.delete confirm_policy: **human**

Delete a chart annotation?

**intent:** the user asked me to delete a chart annotation

run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _amplitude-agent_ cannot confirm itself

In the console, or from an emailed signed link.

a key for this connector

```
account {
  op: "keys.create", name: "amplitude-agent",
  allowed_actions: ["amplitude.*"], cap_calls: 2000,
  confirm_policy: "human_for_writes",
  approval_rules: [
    { match: "amplitude.annotations.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" },
    { match: "amplitude.event_types.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" },
    { match: "amplitude.lookup_tables.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }
  ]
}
```

Illustrative. Scoped to Amplitude only, capped at 2,000 upstream calls, every write confirmed, and the destructive ones approved by a named person.

Cost

## 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.

- 1 upstream call per action all 77 Amplitude actions
- 77 actions page each page of a long list is one call
- 34 reads can be cached a cache hit costs nothing
- 100,000 calls a month, free paid plans from US$49 a month for 250,000

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.
