How to Connect Amplitude to Claude

Query your Amplitude data directly from Claude using Sequel’s MCP server. Ask questions in plain English, with no SQL, no dashboards, and no context switching.

Short answer

Connect Amplitude to Sequel, then add Sequel's MCP server to Claude using the config on this page. Claude can then query your live Amplitude data in plain English, with no connector code and no CSV exports. Both steps take a few minutes.

Example prompts

Everything you can ask Claude about your Amplitude data.

Ask in plain English — Sequel translates it into a Amplitude query, runs it, and Claude hands back the answer. No SQL, no dashboards, no CSV exports.

What you can ask Claude
  • What's the 7-day retention for users who signed up last month?
  • Show me the conversion funnel from signup to first paid action over the past 30 days.
  • Which onboarding step has the biggest drop-off?
  • How many users triggered 'Subscription Started' last week, by plan?
  • Daily active users for the past 90 days, segmented by platform.

How it works

Three steps to get started

1

Connect Amplitude to Sequel

In your Sequel dashboard, go to Connections and add Amplitude. Sequel handles authentication and schema discovery automatically.

2

Add Sequel to the agent

Copy the Sequel MCP configuration into Claude's settings file (shown below). Swap in your API key from Settings → API Keys.

3

Ask Claude about your data

Restart Claude and start asking questions. "What's the 7-day retention for users who signed up last month?" — and get a real answer backed by live Amplitude data.

Why Claude

What Claude does with your Amplitude data

Ask anything about your data

Claude understands natural language. Just describe what you want to know — "Show me revenue by region for Q1" — and Sequel fetches the data, runs the query, and Claude explains the results in context.

Multi-source analysis in one conversation

Sequel connects to databases, analytics platforms, and SaaS tools. Ask Claude to join your Postgres revenue data with Google Analytics sessions in a single thread — no SQL required.

Python workbench inside the chat

Need a chart or statistical analysis? Claude can run Python code in Sequel's isolated sandbox — pandas, matplotlib, seaborn all included — and return the result directly in your conversation.

Configuration

Add Sequel to Claude

Place this in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and replace sql_your_api_key with a key from Settings → API Keys.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sequel": {
      "url": "https://api.sequel.sh/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sql_your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Install

Install Amplitude MCP in Claude

Pick your app and Sequel installs itself: a one-click link where the client supports it, that client’s own few steps where it doesn’t. Every route signs in with your Sequel account over OAuth, so there is no API key to copy and nothing to keep in sync.

Already have an MCP client?

https://api.sequel.sh/mcp

Add it as a remote (streamable HTTP) server and sign in when prompted. Skills come with it; nothing else to install. Manual setup per client

Add Sequel to Claude

One click: the button above opens Claude with Sequel pre-filled, and Claude signs you in with your Sequel account. There is no key to paste.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Amplitude to Claude?

You need two things: (1) connect Amplitude to Sequel in your Sequel dashboard under Connections, and (2) add the Sequel MCP config to Claude using the setup shown above. Once both are done, Claude can query your Amplitude data directly.

What Amplitude data can Claude access?

Claude can access any data available through your Amplitude connection in Sequel. Use Sequel's search tool to discover available metrics and dimensions, then execute queries to pull the data you need.

Is my Amplitude data sent to Claude's servers?

Query results are returned to Claude as context within your conversation. Only the data you explicitly ask about is retrieved. Sequel never stores your query results permanently — they exist only for the duration of the tool call.

Do I need a Sequel account?

Yes. You need a Sequel account to connect Amplitude and generate an API key. Sign up free at sequel.sh — no credit card required. Then create a connection to Amplitude and generate an API key from Settings → API Keys.

Can I connect multiple Amplitude accounts?

Yes. Sequel supports multiple connections of the same type. If you have multiple Amplitude accounts or properties, add each as a separate connection in Sequel. Claude will be able to query all of them.

Does this work with Claude Desktop and Claude.ai?

The JSON config above works with Claude Desktop (Mac and Windows). Claude.ai supports MCP through Workspaces — go to Settings → Integrations to add the Sequel MCP URL there.

What databases can Claude query through Sequel?

Any database or analytics tool you've connected in Sequel: PostgreSQL, MySQL, ClickHouse, BigQuery, Snowflake, Google Analytics, and more. Claude can only access connections your organization has set up.

Is my database data sent to Anthropic?

Query results are passed to Claude as context within your conversation. Anthropic's standard data handling policies apply. Sequel never stores your query results permanently — they exist only for the duration of the tool call.

Can I limit which connections Claude can see?

Sequel MCP is scoped to your organization's connections. You can create separate API keys for different use cases and revoke them at any time from Settings → API Keys.

How do I connect Amplitude to Sequel?

Open Amplitude → Settings → Projects → [your project] → General, copy the API Key and Secret Key, pick your region (US or EU), and paste them into Sequel's Amplitude connector. Sequel uses HTTP Basic auth with these keys against Amplitude's read APIs — no OAuth dance required.

Which Amplitude region should I pick?

Use the region the project was created in. US projects live on amplitude.com; EU projects live on analytics.eu.amplitude.com. If queries return 401 or empty results, the region is almost always the culprit — switch it and re-test.

Can Sequel write or modify data in Amplitude?

No. The connector only ships read-only tools: list events, list event properties, get chart, funnel report, retention report, and event segmentation. There is no write endpoint exposed to the agent, so Sequel cannot create events, charts, or cohorts on your behalf.

Do you support saved charts and dashboards?

Yes — if you already built a chart in Amplitude, share its chart ID with Sequel and it will pull the result via the Dashboard REST API, then re-segment or compare it conversationally without you re-creating it.
