Why connect Amplitude to VS Code (GitHub Copilot)?

Copilot's agent mode can call MCP tools inside your workspace, so it can read live numbers while it edits code and docs. Connected through Lemonado, it reads your Amplitude events, cohorts, funnels and retention, so it can find the step where onboarding stalls with today's numbers.

  • 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 VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Before you start

  • A Amplitude account you can sign in to
  • VS Code 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

    Add the server

    With AI features on and a project open, run MCP: Add Server from the command palette. Choose HTTP, paste the server URL and name it lemonado.

    https://mcp.lemonado.io/mcp
  4. 4

    Choose where it lives

    For your personal Copilot setup, choose Global → Copilot Global. That writes to ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json unless COPILOT_HOME says otherwise.

  5. 5

    Trust and sign in

    Accept the trust prompt and sign in to Lemonado. Turn the tools on under Chat: Open Customizations → Tools.

  6. 6

    Ask VS Code (GitHub Copilot) about Amplitude

    Try "Update the table in docs/kpis.md with last month's Amplitude numbers and add one line on what changed." Or ask: "Save signups with first touch" or "Retention by campaign script"

Good to know

  • The older .vscode/mcp.json format still works for the local harness, but VS Code now marks that destination as deprecated. It uses a servers key with type http and the same URL.

What can VS Code (GitHub Copilot) do with Amplitude?

Copilot reads your Amplitude data in agent mode and works the numbers into your code, docs and notebooks in the workspace you have open.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, through Lemonado. Connect your Amplitude project in Lemonado, add Lemonado with MCP: Add Server in VS Code, and VS Code can find the step where onboarding stalls with your live data.

Yes. Amplitude's MCP server is hosted, so VS Code can use it too. It covers Amplitude only. Lemonado covers Amplitude plus your ad platforms, GA4 and the rest of your stack in one connection, so VS Code can answer questions across them.

Run MCP: List Servers from the command palette. If lemonado isn't running, start it there, accept the trust prompt and sign in. In Lemonado, check that Amplitude is connected and External tools is on for the company. If events look empty, check the data center (US or EU) and that you connected the production project.

Yes, if both are connected in Lemonado. One connection reaches every source you allow, so you can ask things like "Compare Google Ads conversions for sign_up last week with sign_up events in Amplitude that carry a gclid."

MCP is included in Lemonado's paid plans and in the free trial, so you can try it before you pay.
