Real-time event tracking in Claude Desktop

Send event data directly to your Keen project without leaving the chat interface. You can trigger `record_event` to push logs or user actions as they happen, ensuring your data stays current while you work. This setup removes the need for custom scripts or external dashboards. You just ask Claude to record an event, and the Keen MCP Server handles the transmission instantly.

Run complex analytics queries

Query your event collections using `count_events` or `sum_property` to get immediate answers about your user behavior. It turns your chat into an analytics engine that speaks your data's language. Claude parses the JSON responses from `select_unique` and `average_property` to give you human-readable summaries. You stop guessing what your users are doing and start seeing the numbers.

Manage your Keen project metadata

Use `get_project_details` and `list_collections` to verify your project configuration without checking the web console. It brings your infrastructure metadata right into the desktop environment. Running `list_saved_queries` lets you execute existing reports directly within your workflow. It keeps your development context intact by avoiding unnecessary browser switching.
