How do I find my Algolia Analytics API Key?

Log in to the Algolia Dashboard, go to **API Keys**, and look for a key with the `analytics` ACL enabled. You will also need your **Application ID** found on the same page.

Which region should I choose?

Algolia Analytics provides region-specific endpoints. Choose **US** for `analytics.us.algolia.com` or **DE** for `analytics.de.algolia.com`. Most applications use the US region by default.

Why do some metrics show 0 conversion?

Conversion metrics require you to send events via the **Insights API**. If you aren't currently sending click or conversion events from your frontend, the Analytics API will not have data to report for those metrics.

About Algolia Analytics MCP Server

Connect your Algolia application to your AI agent to unlock professional search performance orchestration and data intelligence. From monitoring real-time Click-Through Rates (CTR) and Conversion Rates (CR) to auditing top searches without results and analyzing AB test performance, your agent handles your search strategy through natural conversation.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Algolia Analytics data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

What you can do

Search Performance Auditing — Retrieve granular metrics for CTR, average click position, and conversion rates across your indices
Term Discovery — List top searches, recent queries, and terms that returned zero results to identify content gaps
User Intelligence — Monitor unique user counts and filter performance to understand your audience's behavior
AB Test Monitoring — List and audit active and historical AB tests to ensure your search optimizations are effective

Algolia Analytics + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Algolia Analytics MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
