--- title: How to connect Amplitude MCP to ChatGPT description: "Connect Amplitude MCP to ChatGPT to query charts, dashboards, experiments, and cohorts in plain English from ChatGPT. Setup uses OAuth and takes about two minutes." product: general token_estimate: 1373 --- # How to connect Amplitude MCP to ChatGPT > For AI agents: a documentation index is available at [/docs/llms.txt](/docs/llms.txt). Append `.md` to any page URL for markdown, or send `Accept: text/markdown`. Connect Amplitude MCP to ChatGPT so you can ask questions about your product data, such as funnels, cohorts, and experiments, without leaving the ChatGPT interface. Setup uses OAuth and takes about two minutes. Use this when you want conversational access to Amplitude data from ChatGPT. Use ChatGPT if you prefer an AI assistant interface in the browser or desktop app. If you want Amplitude MCP inside a code editor instead, use the [Cursor connector](https://amplitude.com/docs/amplitude-ai/amplitude-mcp/cursor). You need an active Amplitude account with project access and a ChatGPT account. ## How do I connect Amplitude MCP in ChatGPT? Amplitude is a published plugin in the ChatGPT plugins directory, so you don't need developer mode to connect it. For general setup reference, refer to the [Plugins in ChatGPT and Codex documentation](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001256-plugins-in-chatgpt-and-codex). 1. Navigate to [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/) or open the ChatGPT desktop app. 2. Go to _Settings > Plugins_, then browse the plugins directory and search for Amplitude. You can also open the [Amplitude plugin](https://chatgpt.com/apps/amplitude/connector_690e2dabf430819196f8b3701ec838ec) directly. 3. Under _Public_, select **+** on **Amplitude**. If your Amplitude data resides in the EU, select **Amplitude EU** instead. In a Business, Enterprise, or Edu workspace, an admin may need to enable the Amplitude plugin first. Enterprise and Edu workspaces have plugins turned off by default. 4. Complete Amplitude OAuth authorization when prompted. 5. In a chat, type **@Amplitude** to use it. You can manage or disconnect the plugin later from _Settings > Plugins_. 6. For best results, create a ChatGPT project specifically for Amplitude and add this system prompt to its instructions: ```text When using Amplitude MCP, follow these rules then act quickly and autonomously: - Use tools to find answers: If you need info (events, properties, chart definitions, cohorts), use tools to discover it rather than asking the user. Trust the Amplitude MCP tools provide access to actual data behind charts, dashboards, and other entities. Always attempt using tools before saying they don't exist. - Try NOT to ask clarifying questions: Make your best judgment with information available but sparingly elicit clarification from users - Resolve ambiguity yourself: When multiple options exist (e.g., which project to use, which saved chart or event matches best, how to define a segment), choose the most reasonable option based on tool results and context. Search saved charts, metrics, and other data before creating something new. - When responding to requests that involve Amplitude objects (charts, dashboards, or any entity), don't stop at referencing IDs and metadata. Retrieve underlying data, run analysis based on it, then share specific metrics as part of your analysis. - Complete the request: Execute the workflow requested, proactively share relevant data when analyzing, don't stop partway to ask for confirmation, then provide data-backed, actionable, and concise answers. - Report what you did: After completing the task, briefly explain key assumptions or data used - Cite your sources: When referencing data from Amplitude, include the link as part of the markdown response (()[]) ``` 7. Start asking questions about your Amplitude data. ## How do I verify the connection works? Ask ChatGPT: "What Amplitude projects can I access?" If you see a list of your projects, MCP is connected and authenticated. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do I need developer mode enabled to use Amplitude MCP in ChatGPT? No. Amplitude is a published plugin in the ChatGPT plugins directory, so you install it from the directory like any other plugin. Developer mode applies only when you add a custom MCP server by URL. ### How do I switch Amplitude MCP from the US server to EU residency? Install the **Amplitude EU** plugin from the plugins directory instead of **Amplitude**. If you already installed the US plugin, remove it from _Settings > Plugins_ first, then install Amplitude EU and authorize again. ### What permissions does the Amplitude MCP server have? The MCP server inherits the Amplitude permissions of the user who authenticates. You can only read or modify projects you already have access to in Amplitude. Amplitude grants no additional access. ### Why does the recommended system prompt use a dedicated ChatGPT project? Scoping the system prompt to a project keeps the Amplitude instructions from affecting other ChatGPT conversations. It also lets you share the project configuration with your team so everyone uses the same query behavior. ### Why can't I retrieve session replays in ChatGPT? ChatGPT applies a token cap to all connected tool schemas, so Amplitude exposes a curated subset of approximately 25 tools to ChatGPT clients instead of the full catalog. The ChatGPT subset doesn't include session replay tools or progressive discovery tools (`list_tool_categories`, `get_category_tools`, `describe_tool`). This is a platform constraint, not an account limitation. To use session replay with Amplitude MCP, connect with Cursor or Claude instead. Both receive the full tool catalog.
