Debug tracking code with live data

The `export_events` tool pulls raw event payloads for a specific hour block formatted as YYYYMMDDTHH. Cursor uses this live data to verify that your newly written tracking code actually reached the analytics backend. When a specific test account goes missing, the `get_user_activity` tool grabs that individual's event stream. Your agent compares the live API response against your local source code to find exactly which trigger failed to fire.

Build features around user cohorts

You query how well a specific acquisition channel performs over time using the `get_retention` tool. It requires a start event, a return event, and a date range to calculate the drop-off curve. Grouping those retained users happens via the `list_cohorts` tool. Your AI client lists the behavioral segments already defined in your workspace so you can hardcode the correct cohort IDs into your feature flags.

Validate funnel events via MCP Server

The `get_funnel` tool accepts a comma-separated list of event names to calculate conversion rates across a specific flow. This lets you confirm that a multi-step signup process is actually logging every step in the correct order. Checking the overall impact of your changes requires the `active_users` tool. It pulls DAU, WAU, and MAU metrics directly into your editor pane, proving whether your recent bug fix actually recovered lost traffic.

Setup guide

Set up Amplitude MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Amplitude MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Amplitude transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Amplitude tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amplitude-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"

Common questions about Amplitude MCP in Cursor

Create an mcp.json file in your project root or global config directory. Add the MCP Server URL under the servers key and turn on Agent mode in the chat panel.

Yes, it reads the exact event names and properties currently firing in your workspace. The AI then generates matching tracking calls in your codebase to keep your taxonomy consistent.

Stick to YYYYMMDD for standard date ranges. If you are exporting raw payloads, append the hour to match the YYYYMMDDTHH requirement.

The backend processes large lists asynchronously. The server polls for completion, so tell your AI to wait a few seconds and try fetching the file again.

Ephemeral execution means zero persistence on our end. Your device IDs, revenue figures, and user strings pass through a zero-trust V8 sandbox that spins down immediately after returning the API response.
