How to Connect to RudderStack MCP

Set up your AI assistant to connect to RudderStack MCP for pipeline debugging and management.

This guide covers the steps to connect your AI assistant to RudderStack MCP for pipeline debugging and management.

Authentication

On first connection, a browser window opens for RudderStack OAuth login. Authorize access to your workspace and your client automatically receives access.

Tokens refresh automatically without requiring manual re-authentication.

Verify your connection

Ask your AI assistant:

“Give me an overview of my RudderStack workspace.”

You should see your sources, destinations, and connections listed.

Prerequisites

• You must have an active RudderStack account

• MCP-compatible client (Claude, Codex, Cursor, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, etc.)

Client setup

All configurations below are global (available across all projects) unless noted otherwise. Refer to your MCP client’s documentation to change the scope.

Claude.ai

• Navigate to claude.ai/settings > Connectors > Add custom connector.

• Enter the URL: https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp

Claude Code

Run the following command:

claude mcp add --transport http rudderstack https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp

To make this available across all projects, add --scope user:

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user rudderstack https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp

Authenticate by running /mcp in an active Claude Code session and following the OAuth flow.

Claude Desktop

• Navigate to Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector.

• Enter the URL: https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp

Codex

• Add the following to your ~/.codex/config.toml file:

[mcp_servers.rudderstack]
url = "https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp"

• Authenticate using the following command — this takes you through the OAuth flow.

codex mcp login rudderstack

Cursor

• Open Cursor Settings > MCP > New MCP Server.

• Add the following to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
 "mcpServers": {
 "rudderstack": {
 "url": "https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp"
 }
 }
}

Visual Studio Code (GitHub Copilot)

Add the following to .vscode/mcp.json in your project root. Note that this is project-scoped — you will need to add it to each project where you want to use RudderStack MCP.

{
 "servers": {
 "rudderstack": {
 "url": "https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp"
 }
 }
}

Troubleshooting

Issue Solution OAuth login window doesn’t open Make sure you have completed the OAuth authorization flow for your client Tools not showing up Restart your MCP client after adding the configVerify the JSON syntax “Workspace not found” error Ask “Show me my available workspaces” and switch to the correct workspace Connection drops or session errors Restart the MCP client to establish a fresh session
