What is the Microsoft Clarity MCP Server?
Connect your Microsoft Clarity account to any AI agent and unlock behavioral analytics insights through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Project Management — List all tracked websites and inspect individual project configurations and data retention settings
- Live Insights — Retrieve real-time active users, page views, and engagement metrics for any project
- Dashboard Analytics — Access aggregate metrics including sessions, pages per session, engagement scores, and bounce rates
- Heatmap Analysis — Browse page heatmaps showing click, scroll, and attention patterns, and inspect detailed interaction data
- Session Recordings — List session recordings with duration and pages visited, and inspect individual session timelines
- UX Friction Detection — Identify dead clicks (elements that don't respond) and rage clicks (repeated frustrated clicking) to locate broken UI elements
- Content Visibility — Analyze scroll depth data to understand how far users scroll and where content engagement drops off
- Page Ranking — View top-performing pages ranked by session count and engagement metrics

Frequently asked questions
Can I detect UX friction points like dead clicks and rage clicks?
Yes! Use list_dead_clicks to find page elements where users click without any response — signaling non-interactive elements that look clickable. Use list_rage_clicks to detect pages where users repeatedly click in frustration, indicating broken buttons, slow-loading elements, or confusing UI patterns.
Can I analyze how far users scroll on each page?
Yes. The get_scroll_depth tool returns scroll metrics for each page in your project, showing the percentage of users who reach each content section. This identifies exactly where engagement drops off — essential for optimizing content placement and CTA positioning.
Can I view real-time analytics while users are on my site?
Yes. The get_live_insights tool provides real-time data for any project, including active user count, current page views, and live engagement metrics. For historical aggregates, use get_dashboard to access sessions, pages per session, and engagement scores over time.
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.
