Why connect Amplitude to Cursor?

Cursor's agent sees every track() call while you write it. What it can't see is whether those events arrive, with the right properties, after the release. Add Lemonado and it can check Amplitude for you, so tracking bugs get fixed in the same pull request that caused them.

  • All your Amplitude data

    Events and event properties, ready to ask about.

  • Always today's numbers

    Cohorts and their sizes over time, synced from Amplitude automatically, so answers use today's numbers.

  • Connect all your tools

    Questions like "Which campaigns keep users?" use Amplitude and Mixpanel, PostHog at once.

How to connect Amplitude to Cursor

Before you start

  • A Amplitude account you can sign in to
  • Cursor installed
  • A Lemonado account (the free trial works)
  1. 1

    Connect Amplitude in Lemonado

    In Lemonado, open Connectors, find Amplitude and sign in. Connect the Amplitude project you report from, not a dev or staging project. If your org is on Amplitude's EU data center, choose EU when you connect.

  2. 2

    Turn on external access

    In the company's settings, open External tools, turn the connection on, choose which sources it can reach and copy the server URL.

    https://mcp.lemonado.io/mcp
  3. 3

    Open your MCP config

    Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project, or .cursor/mcp.json for this project only. Create the file if it doesn't exist.

  4. 4

    Add Lemonado

    Merge this into the file and save.

    json
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "lemonado": {
          "url": "https://mcp.lemonado.io/mcp"
        }
      }
    }
  5. 5

    Sign in

    Cursor asks you to sign in to Lemonado. Approve access, then ask the agent about your data.

  6. 6

    Ask Cursor about Amplitude

    Try "I added an onboarding_step_completed event in components/Onboarding.tsx yesterday. Check how many arrived in Amplitude and which step values show up." Or ask: "Did the refactor break tracking?" or "Which events have no owner?"

Good to know

  • Editing the file directly avoids relying on menu labels that change between Cursor versions.

What can Cursor do with Amplitude?

Cursor's agent reads your Amplitude data while it edits: it fills components with real data, checks tracking code and writes the analysis next to your code.

I added an onboarding_step_completed event in components/Onboarding.tsx yesterday. Check how many arrived in Amplitude and which step values show up.

2,140 events arrived, but step is always 1. The component sends the step from its initial state instead of the current one.
