## Description

Connect Pendo to any AI client through Vinkius's MCP catalog to take full control of your user journey data. Instead of juggling multiple dashboards or writing complex API queries, you talk to your agent and it handles the heavy lifting. Your agent can list every in-app guide you created and pull up its performance metrics immediately. Want to see what a specific visitor did? Just ask your AI client for their profile details. It connects that activity to their overall account and shows you exactly which pages they viewed last month. You can even audit all the tags on your site or check if a new feature is properly marked up. This means product teams get rapid answers about user behavior, turning days of manual reporting into instant conversations.

## Use Cases

### Troubleshooting a Feature Adoption Dip
A PM notices that the adoption rate for the new reporting module dropped last week. They ask their agent to list all pages and features tagged on the reporting module, then specifically check the 'get_pendo_guide' details on the associated tutorial. The agent quickly reports which critical tracking tags are missing from key onboarding steps.

### Investigating a High-Value User Problem
A CSM receives an urgent support ticket from a VIP client. They use their agent to look up the visitor profile via 'get_pendo_visitor', immediately confirming the user's role, account status (using 'list_pendo_account'), and all pages they viewed in the last month.

### Auditing Product Launch Readiness
A Growth Engineer is preparing for a major site redesign. They ask their agent to list all metadata schemas ('list_pendo_metadata_schema') and then run 'list_pendo_applications' to ensure every necessary data point can be captured across the new platform.

### Analyzing Segment Effectiveness
A PM needs to know if their marketing efforts are reaching the right people. They ask the agent to list saved user segments ('list_pendo_segments') and then check guide metrics for a segment-specific tutorial using 'get_pendo_guide_metrics'.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is the difference between list_pendo_pages and list_pendo_features?**
list_pendo_pages gives you a list of every physical page on your site that has tracking enabled. list_pendo_features lists specific, discrete functions or components within the product that are also tracked.

**Can I use Pendo MCP to track real-time user activity?**
The MCP pulls historical and aggregated data about user activities via 'get_pendo_visitor'. It helps you analyze past behavior patterns, rather than streaming live events.

**Does the Pendo MCP require I have administrator access?**
You need a connected Pendo subscription and an integration key. The agent uses those credentials to pull data based on your assigned permissions within Pendo.

**How do I check if my new feature is tracked?**
Run 'list_pendo_features' first to see all existing tags, then ask the agent to list tagged pages ('list_pendo_pages') to verify placement.

**What data can I get for a visitor using Pendo MCP?**
You can retrieve detailed properties and activity history. This includes seeing their role, account status, and viewing history via 'get_pendo_visitor'.

**How do I find my Pendo Integration Key?**
In Pendo, navigate to **Settings** > **Integrations**. There you can find or generate your Integration Key for API access.

**Can I see real-time statistics for my guides?**
Yes! Use the `get_pendo_guide_metrics` tool with a Guide ID to retrieve live data on views, clicks, and completion rates.

**Does this support looking up individual user metadata?**
