About Amplitude MCP Server
Connect your Amplitude account to your AI agent and seamlessly query behavioral data and product analytics using natural language.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Amplitude tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- User Activity & Search — Search for specific users and track their detailed event stream to diagnose individual journeys
- Funnels & Conversions — Request step-by-step conversion funnels to identify where users drop off
- Retention — Generate day-over-day retention curves to understand how well features keep users engaged
- Segmentation — Query event counts and uniques over time to see clear adoption trends
- Cohorts — List your behavioral cohorts, view sizes, and request exports for further targeted analysis
- Active Users & Revenue — Instantly pull DAU/WAU/MAU and daily revenue metrics right into your workflow
The Amplitude MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Windsurf with the Amplitude MCP Server
Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with Amplitude through the Model Context Protocol.
Windsurf's Cascade agent autonomously chains multiple tool calls in sequence, solving complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention
Purpose-built for agentic workflows. Cascade understands context across your entire codebase and integrates MCP tools natively
JSON-based configuration means zero code changes: paste a URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available
Real-time tool feedback is displayed inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor without switching contexts
Amplitude + Windsurf Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the Amplitude MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from Amplitude and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses
Live debugging: query Amplitude tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor
Documentation generation: pull schema information from Amplitude and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically
Rapid prototyping: combine Amplitude data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes
