About Keen MCP Server
Connect your Keen.io project to any AI agent to automate data collection and analysis. This MCP server allows your agent to record events and run complex analytical queries (count, sum, average, etc.) directly from natural language.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Keen 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
- Event Recording — Send custom event data to any collection in your project instantly
- Compute Metrics — Run aggregation queries like
count,sum, andaverageon your event data - Data Discovery — List all event collections, saved queries, and cached datasets
- Insight Extraction — Retrieve unique values for specific properties to understand data distribution
- Project Oversight — Get comprehensive metadata and configuration details for your Keen project
The Keen 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.
