MCP Server: Role-Based Access Controls

Chanaka Perera

Description: As AI agents become a bigger part of how teams work with Amplitude, orgs need finer-grained control over what those agents can access and do. MCP sessions now respect role-based permissions at the project level — so you can scope exactly what an agent can read or write, without changing anything for users who don't need restrictions.

With this update, you can:

  • Assign new READ and WRITE MCP actions to any role, user, group, or service account
  • Restrict agent access on a project-by-project basis — agents can't touch projects they shouldn't
  • Apply team-wide MCP access policies via group support
  • Extend the same controls to service accounts for automated agent workflows
  • Existing roles default to read and write enabled, so nothing changes until an admin explicitly configures restrictions.

Where: Access via Settings → Role Management → create or edit a role → toggle USE_MCP_READ / USE_MCP_WRITE in the AI/MCP section.

When: Available now on all plans.
