How it works
Three steps to get started
Connect Amplitude to Sequel
In your Sequel dashboard, go to Connections and add Amplitude. Sequel handles authentication and schema discovery automatically.
Add Sequel to the agent
Copy the Sequel MCP configuration into Windsurf's settings file (shown below). Swap in your API key from Settings → API Keys.
Ask Windsurf about your data
Restart Windsurf 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.
Configuration
Add Sequel to Windsurf
Place this in ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json and replace sql_your_api_key with a key from Settings → API Keys.
~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"sequel": {
"serverUrl": "https://api.sequel.sh/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer sql_your_api_key"
}
}
}
}Install
Install Amplitude MCP in Windsurf
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.

Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Amplitude to Windsurf?
You need two things: (1) connect Amplitude to Sequel in your Sequel dashboard under Connections, and (2) add the Sequel MCP config to Windsurf using the setup shown above. Once both are done, Windsurf can query your Amplitude data directly.
What Amplitude data can Windsurf access?
Windsurf 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 Windsurf's servers?
Query results are returned to Windsurf 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. Windsurf will be able to query all of them.
