No MCP rate limits or SLA were found, and status.amplitude.com records a critical outage of the UI, MCP and REST APIs on 13 July 2026.\n\n**Heap.** Heap's server-side API suits an agent that records events. Limits are published, bulk calls take 1,000 items and track accepts an idempotency key. The API returns no analytics, and ingest calls carry no secret beyond the environment ID. Heap's help centre lists a Heap MCP article, which a bot check stopped us reading, so the MCP server is ungraded.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Amplitude\n\n1. Connect to https://mcp.amplitude.com/mcp, or https://mcp.eu.amplitude.com/mcp for EU projects. The client must support streaming HTTP and OAuth, since API keys aren't accepted\n2. Append `?discovery=progressive` to load tool schemas on demand, then call `get_amplitude_context` first to pick the project and read its AI context\n3. Ask an admin for a role with only Use MCP (read) on the projects you need. Tools stay listed and fail at call time when the role lacks the action\n4. Send events through the HTTP V2 API with an `insert_id` on each one. On 429, pause that user or device for 30 seconds before retrying\n5. Budget Dashboard REST queries by cost (days times conditions times chart cost), within 108,000 an hour and 5 concurrent requests per project\n\n### Heap\n\n1. Send EU projects to https://c.eu.heap-api.com instead of https://heapanalytics.com. The path stays the same\n2. Pass one of `identity` or `user_id` on track, never both\n3. Set `idempotency_key` on every track event so a retry doesn't duplicate it\n4. Stay under 30 requests per 30 seconds per identity, or batch up to 1,000 events in one bulk call\n5. For deletion, exchange the app_id and API key of the Main Production environment for a token first. Any other environment ID returns Unauthorized\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Amplitude or Heap?\n\nAmplitude scores 66.2 (B) on agent readiness against Heap's 53 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Heap leads on reliability.\n\n### Do Amplitude and Heap need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Amplitude and Heap without installing anything?\n\nYes.
