Connect Amplitude MCP to Claude Code

Script Amplitude with Claude Code
Pipe the output of `active_users` directly into your shell scripts. Claude Code makes it easy to gate your deployments based on real-time usage metrics. If your DAU falls below a threshold, the script stops the build. It's a simple way to keep your production environment stable using live data.
Export events via Claude Code
Use `export_events` in your terminal to dump data into a JSON file. Claude Code handles the command arguments and saves the output to your local path. This is perfect for cron jobs that need to archive product data. You can run the command at midnight and have the event logs ready for your morning check.
Query retention in Claude Code
Run `get_retention` from your command line to see how your new features perform. Claude Code prints the results in a clear format for your logs. It's faster than using a UI. Just type the command, get the retention numbers, and move on to your next terminal task.
