Cursor config for Amplitude MCP

claude mcp add --transport http amplitude https://mcp.amplitude.com/mcp
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amplitude-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.amplitude.com/mcp",
      "type": "streamable-http"
    }
  }
}

Remote server — no local install needed. Restart the client after saving the config.

Setup steps

  1. 1Open Cursor → Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json directly).
  2. 2Paste the Amplitude MCP config below into the "mcpServers" object.
  3. 3Fill in placeholder secrets, then save.
  4. 4Cursor reloads MCP servers automatically — check Settings → MCP for a green status dot.
  5. 5Ask Cursor to use one of Amplitude MCP's tools to confirm it's connected.

Before you start

  • An Amplitude account with access to at least one project
  • Appropriate project permissions in Amplitude — the server can't show anything your user can't see
  • An MCP client that supports remote HTTP servers with OAuth (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, etc.)

Security

Auth is OAuth 2.0 scoped to your existing Amplitude permissions — there is no API key to store, and organization admins can control MCP server access. Your analytics data is processed by whichever third-party AI model your client uses, so check your org's AI data-processing policy before connecting.

Amplitude MCP + Cursor FAQ

Where is the Cursor config file?

Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Paste the Amplitude MCP config there under the "mcpServers" key and restart the client.

Is Amplitude MCP safe to use with Cursor?

Auth is OAuth 2.0 scoped to your existing Amplitude permissions — there is no API key to store, and organization admins can control MCP server access. Your analytics data is processed by whichever third-party AI model your client uses, so check your org's AI data-processing policy before connecting.

Is the Amplitude MCP server free and safe to connect?

It's included with your Amplitude account — no separate charge is documented, though the beta may enforce rate limits. Access is OAuth-scoped to your existing permissions and admins can disable MCP org-wide; the main consideration is that query results flow through your AI client's model, so review your data-processing policy.

Do I need an API key?

No. Authentication is OAuth 2.0 — the client opens a browser login and tokens are managed for you. That also means agent access always follows a real Amplitude user, not a shared key you'd have to rotate.

Which endpoint should EU customers use?

https://mcp.eu.amplitude.com/mcp. The server URL must match your org's data residency region — pointing an EU org at the US endpoint results in authentication/connection errors.
