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

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.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
