How to Connect Amplitude to Gemini

Query your Amplitude data directly from Gemini 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 Gemini using the config on this page. Gemini 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 Gemini about your Amplitude data.

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

What you can ask Gemini
  • 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 Gemini's settings file (shown below). Swap in your API key from Settings → API Keys.

3

Ask Gemini about your data

Restart Gemini 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 Gemini

What Gemini does with your Amplitude data

Ground Gemini in your real data

Gemini with Sequel fetches live data from your databases before answering. Every number in the response is pulled from your actual data — not estimated or hallucinated.

Multi-modal analysis

Combine Gemini's multi-modal reasoning with Sequel's data access. Ask Gemini to analyze trends in your database data and produce a written summary, chart description, or presentation outline.

Build grounded AI apps faster

Developers building on the Gemini API can use Sequel as a data-access tool, giving their apps real-time database access without building custom integrations for every data source.

Configuration

Add Sequel to Gemini

Place this in Google AI Studio or Gemini API and replace sql_your_api_key with a key from Settings → API Keys.

Google AI Studio or Gemini API

# Gemini API (tool_config)
{
  "tool_config": {
    "function_calling_config": {
      "mode": "AUTO"
    }
  },
  "tools": [
    {
      "url_context": {
        "mcp_server_url": "https://api.sequel.sh/mcp",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer sql_your_api_key"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Install

Install Amplitude MCP in Gemini

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 Gemini CLI

Terminal

gemini mcp add --transport http sequel https://api.sequel.sh/mcp
  1. 1Run the command in your terminal. Add --scope user to add it to every project.
  2. 2Start Gemini CLI and run /mcp auth sequel. Sign in in the browser.
  3. 3Run /mcp to see the tools, then ask a question.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Amplitude to Gemini?

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

What Amplitude data can Gemini access?

Gemini 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 Gemini's servers?

Query results are returned to Gemini 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. Gemini will be able to query all of them.

How do I connect Gemini to Sequel?

Gemini's MCP support is available through Google AI Studio and the Gemini API. In AI Studio, go to Settings → Extensions and add the Sequel MCP server URL. For the API, include the MCP server in your tool_config as shown above.

Which Gemini models support MCP?

MCP tool use is supported on Gemini 1.5 Pro, Gemini 2.0 Flash, and newer models. Check Google's latest documentation for the current list of models with MCP/tool use support.

Can I use Sequel with Gemini in Google Workspace?

Gemini for Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Gmail) has a different extension model. Sequel MCP currently targets the Gemini API and AI Studio. Enterprise Workspace integrations may be available in future.

Is this suitable for building production apps with Gemini?

Yes. You can use Sequel MCP in Gemini API applications by passing it as a tool. This is ideal for building internal tools, dashboards, or customer-facing AI features that need real database access.

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.
