Perplexity

Investigate bug reports in VS Code

The `search_users` tool accepts an email or device ID to locate a specific customer who reported an issue. This MCP Server lets your team find the exact user profile without leaving their IDE. Passing that ID into the `get_user_activity` tool returns their complete behavioral journey leading up to the error. Copilot reads this event stream to understand exactly what the user clicked before the crash occurred.

Verify team telemetry implementations

Validating a new multi-step checkout flow requires the `get_funnel` tool. You pass comma-separated event names and a date range, letting your AI client confirm that conversion tracking works end-to-end. If a specific step shows zero conversions, the `event_segmentation` tool pulls raw counts for that single event. Your agent checks these numbers against your local repository to spot typos in the telemetry triggers.

Analyze financial impact of code changes

Tying a recent release to business outcomes starts with the `revenue_analysis` tool. It pulls daily revenue figures for a specific date window so you can see if your performance updates actually moved the needle. Downloading a specific segment of high-value customers requires the `get_cohort` tool. Because this operation involves backend polling, Copilot manages the retry logic until the file is ready for your team to review.

Setup guide

Set up Amplitude MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
2

Add the Amplitude MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into your .vscode/mcp.json. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.
4

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the Amplitude tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Amplitude transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Amplitude MCP in VS Code Copilot

Commit a configuration file to your repository containing the MCP Server endpoint. Every developer who pulls that branch gets immediate access to the same analytics tools.

The tools fetch the exact JSON payloads returned by the API. Your agent parses those custom properties through the MCP Server and uses them to write accurate tracking code in your current file.

Daily queries use the standard YYYYMMDD string format. Hourly raw data exports require the YYYYMMDDTHH structure.

Grouping thousands of users by behavior requires heavy backend processing. The system polls the API until the job finishes, so expect a slight delay on massive lists.

All network traffic routes through a stateless V8 Isolate that handles the authentication handshake and dies. Your financial metrics, email addresses, and behavioral cohorts never touch a persistent database on our network.
