What is the 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.
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
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Keen Project ID and Master Key
- Start streaming and analyzing data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Data Engineers — Quickly test event recording and verify collection schemas via natural language
- Product Analysts — Run ad-hoc metrics and aggregation queries without writing code
- Developers — Integrate event streaming checks and project status monitoring into your development workflow
Built-in capabilities (10)

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, Keen becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Keen tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

Frequently asked questions
Can I record a single event using this agent?
Yes, the record_event tool allows you to send a JSON object representing your event directly to any named collection.
How do I calculate the average value of a property?
Use the average_property tool by specifying the collection name and the numeric target property you want to average.
Is it possible to see my project's collections?
Absolutely. The list_collections tool retrieves a list of all event types (collections) currently stored in your Keen project.
How does CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
