Short answer

How can I use my AI to debug event streams?

You can trigger test events and immediately inspect the resulting data collections. Your AI uses specific tools to record new events and list existing collections to confirm your tracking works. You'll see exactly what data is hitting your pipeline.

Debugging outcomes

Where your data issues land.

What you get when you use this MCP to validate your data.

VALIDATION

Confirmed event flow

The AI records a test event and checks the collection to ensure the payload arrived correctly. You get immediate proof that your implementation is live.

AUDIT

Collection snapshots

Your agent pulls the latest contents from your collections. This lets you inspect specific properties and values sent by your application.

METRICS

Event volume checks

Check the total number of events in a collection to verify that your batching or streaming is hitting the expected frequency.

HUMAN

Code fixes

The AI identifies if an event is missing or malformed. You then take that insight back to your codebase to fix the tracking logic.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

Your agent acts as a bridge between your code and the Keen data streams.

  1. Trigger a test

    The AI sends a specific event payload to your Keen project to simulate a real user action.

    record_event

  2. Verify arrival

    Your agent looks through your active collections to find the event it just sent.

    list_collections

  3. Inspect payload

    The AI examines the specific data points within the collection to ensure they match your schema.

    list_collections

  4. Check totals

    The AI counts the events in a collection to confirm the stream is flowing at the right rate.

    count_events

  • Record a test event for the 'purchase_completed' event in my Keen project.

  • List all my Keen collections so I can see which ones are active.

  • Count how many events are currently in my 'user_signup' collection.

  • Check the 'web_session' collection to see if the last event I recorded shows up.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI delete events from my collections?

    No. The AI can only record, list, and count events. It cannot delete or modify existing data.

  • 02

    Can my AI change my Keen project settings?

    No. This MCP is limited to event data operations. It cannot touch your project configuration or billing.

  • 03

    Does the AI see all my data?

    The AI only sees the data in the collections you instruct it to list or count.

  • 04

    Can I use this to fix my code automatically?

    No. The AI identifies the errors in your event stream, but you must manually update your code to fix them.

  • 05

    How does the AI know which collection to check?

    You tell the AI which collection to look at in your prompt, and it uses that name to query the data.
