Perplexity

Run Keen MCP Server in CI/CD

Drop this server into your GitHub Actions or cron jobs. Claude Code executes `count_events` and `average_property` to generate automated daily reports directly from your terminal. It runs completely headless. Your pipeline pulls the metrics, formats the data, and pipes the output directly to Slack or a log file without any human intervention. You get automated infrastructure reporting using simple shell commands.

Audit projects from the CLI

Manage your event infrastructure without opening a browser. Run `get_project_details` and `list_collections` right from your terminal prompt to see exactly what schemas are active in production. Claude Code can also grab your `list_datasets` and `list_saved_queries` to verify your caching layers. If a deployment breaks a saved query, you can script the agent to find the failure immediately.

Script your event tracking tests

Write shell scripts that let your agent fire `record_event` during integration testing. You can simulate massive traffic spikes or specific edge-case payloads entirely from the command line. Claude Code immediately follows up with `select_unique` or `sum_property` to assert that the test data aggregated properly. It turns manual QA processes into repeatable terminal commands.

Common questions about Keen MCP in Claude Code

Run `claude mcp add --transport http keen-mcp -- `. Make sure you put the transport flag before the server name.

Yes. You can script the agent to run unique count queries every night and dump the results into a text file or pipe them to another service.

Your connection details live in `~/.claude.json`. The agent reads this file to authenticate before executing any queries.

The client supports stdio, http, and sse transports. You can configure whichever protocol fits your terminal environment best.

The server processes your numeric event properties and raw event payloads strictly through the requested transport. Claude Code runs locally or in your private CI runner, so the analytics data never hits a public UI.
