What the agent gets
- Analytics queries: ad hoc queries over events, users, and properties, and results from charts you already saved.
- Charts, dashboards, notebooks, and cohorts to search and read.
- User and session context: user profiles and session replay details.
- Your data taxonomy: events, properties, and group types, so the agent picks the right names without being told.
- Experiments and feature flags to read and analyze.
- Writes, only if you enable them: create and edit dashboards, notebooks, cohorts, experiments, feature flags, and tracking-plan events and properties.
Setup
In Rippit, open Connections → MCP Servers, choose Amplitude, and sign in to Amplitude. There is no Amplitude app or API key to set up first. Rippit connects to Amplitude’s US server. If your Amplitude data is in the EU region, sign-in fails or no projects appear; addhttps://mcp.eu.amplitude.com/mcp as a custom server instead.
If sign-in is refused, check that an Amplitude admin has not blocked MCP under Settings → Content Access → Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Identity and scope
The connection acts as the Amplitude user who signed in, with that user’s role in each project. A project the user cannot see is a project the agent cannot see, and Amplitude grants no extra access. Write tools also need the Use MCP (write) permission on the user’s Amplitude role.Write access
The connection starts read-only: tools that create or change Amplitude content stay off until you enable them under Tool permissions. Some write tools change more than reports.use_amp_flags creates and updates feature flags and their deployments, and use_amp_experiments creates and updates experiments, so enabling them lets the agent change what your users see. use_amplitude_cohorts can sync cohorts to other tools.
Tools
You choose which tools the agent can use under Tool permissions on the server’s page, one at a time or a whole group at once. See Setting one up. Amplitude adds tools over time, so Tool permissions shows the exact list for your connection.
Which tools start enabled depends on how Amplitude marks each one, so check Tool permissions after connecting and turn off anything you don’t want the agent to use.
