Why the edge:
- Transparency & trust, Amplitude +20: Amplitude 79 (Closed service with terms effective 21 July 2026. The SDKs, CLI and marketplace plugins are MIT (15). The DPA of 4 June 2024 promises destruction within 90 days of termination and use only to run the service, while the terms let Amplitude apply machine learning to customer data to improve the services and delete data at its discretion after termination. The AI docs say data isn't used for model training (20 of 30). A written SDK lifecycle with at least 12 months of maintenance for a superseded major version. No deprecation policy for the REST APIs or MCP tools found (10 of 20). Sub-processor list updated 13 May 2026 with US and EU data centre locations and 10 business days' notice of additions under the DPA (18 of 20).); Userpilot 59 (A closed service with terms dated 23 April 2024 (15 of 30). The privacy policy of 11 March 2025 names a DPO and two sub-processors (AWS and Cloudflare), while the security page names AWS, Google Cloud and Stripe. The DPA is on request and no customer-data retention period is stated (14 of 30). No deprecation policy or dated API notices found (3 of 20). Sub-processors are named with addresses but not data locations, though an EU ingestion endpoint exists (10 of 20). 15+14+3+10 = 42.)
- Agent ergonomics, Amplitude +12: Amplitude 72 (44 tools is over the 30 line (5), with 10 added back for progressive discovery, which starts with four tools and loads schemas on demand, and a subset of about 25 for ChatGPT (15 of 25). Cursor and `limit` pagination on the Developer API (default 50, maximum 200), the Experiment Management API and the data warehouse tools, and filters on search and replay tools. The MCP page warns that hosts may truncate large charts (17 of 20). RFC 9457 errors with `error_code`, `retryable` and field errors on the Developer API and detailed 400 and 429 bodies on HTTP V2. MCP error shapes unread (15 of 20). `Idempotency-Key` and `dry_run` on some Developer API operations, `insert_id` on events, two-step deletes and optimistic concurrency on dashboards and notebooks. We couldn't see whether tools carry readOnlyHint or destructiveHint (13 of 20). Official SDKs in many languages cover ingestion and experiment evaluation, not queries, and the `amp` CLI prints compact JSON when piped (12 of 15).); Userpilot 60 (The tool count isn't published; the docs say the assistant can search hundreds of extra read-only operations on demand, which reads as dynamic loading. Without the list we give the middle band (15 of 25). Export jobs filter by date range, users, events and segments, and job lists paginate (14 of 20). A documented error reference (13 of 20). No deletes or admin through MCP by design; annotations weren't readable and no idempotency keys were found (10 of 20). The HTTP APIs have no official server-side SDK; client SDKs for web and six mobile frameworks (8 of 15). 15+14+13+10+8 = 60.)
- Security & auth, Amplitude +12: Amplitude 74 (The MCP server takes OAuth 2.0 with PKCE S256, dynamic client registration, a revocation endpoint and `mcp:read` and `mcp:write` scopes, and the Developer API takes scoped tokens. The older REST APIs still use a project API key and secret key, which aren't scoped (28 of 30). Two role actions, Use MCP (read) and Use MCP (write), are enforced per project on each call, an admin can switch MCP off for the organisation, deletes need a second confirmed call and cohort syncs preview first. MCP is on by default and three standard roles include write (17 of 20). Session replays, feedback comments and user properties are untrusted content, and we found only a disclaimer about model outputs, no injection guidance for hosts (2 of 15). An organisation audit log with 90 days of entries and an API, whose event list doesn't name MCP tool calls (9 of 15). security.txt valid to 31 December 2028, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018 on the trust portal and a bug bounty that is private (18 of 20).); Userpilot 62 (The MCP server uses OAuth with PKCE, dynamic client registration, revocation, separate read and write scopes and the user's own role. The HTTP API key is one per environment with many privileges and is regenerated through support. Averaged over both surfaces (22 of 30). Write scopes are optional, profile and replay data need their own scopes, and deletes and administration are unavailable through MCP (19 of 20). Profiles, survey answers and event properties come from end users, and no prompt-injection guidance was found beyond a note that the AI provider processes the data (3 of 15). Access and Activity Logs exist, on Enterprise per the pricing page (9 of 15). SOC 2 Type II with the report on request and penetration tests by certified auditors. No security.txt, disclosure policy or bug bounty (9 of 20). 22+19+3+9+9 = 62.)
- Reliability, Userpilot +7: Amplitude 75 (Read with the hosted lines and scored on what an agent calls, the remote MCP server first and the REST APIs beside it. status.amplitude.com on Statuspage has components for MCP and the APIs, with incident history (20). Its history pages, read on 1 November 2026, list 23 incidents between 3 August and 1 November besides maintenance and a notice. Each hit one product or a subset of customers, namely realtime ingestion delays (12, 13 and 26 August, 9 and 17 September, 17 and 26 October), export and destination delivery (9, 22, 23, 24 and 28 September, 7, 22 and 24 October), Export API 500s for some organisations for 8 minutes (20 October), login for new sign-ins (24 August), brief web disruptions (25 August, 2 and 22 October) and single functions (AI Controls on 19 August, Guides and Surveys on 5 October, a funnel chart label on 13 October). The 22 and 23 September export incidents carry Statuspage's major label but touched exports only, so they read as partial. Minor only (20 of 30). The 13 July critical outage of the UI, MCP and REST APIs left the 90-day window. The 7 October count came from the status API path, which robots.txt disallows, and is replaced by the history pages. Rate limits with numbers for the Dashboard REST API (5 concurrent, 108,000 cost an hour), Experiment Management (100 a second, 100,000 a day) and HTTP V2 (30 events a second per user or device), and none found for MCP or the Developer API (12 of 15). HTTP V2 says to pause 30 seconds on 429 and deduplicates on `insert_id`, and the Developer API returns `retryable` and `retry_after_seconds` and accepts `Idempotency-Key` on some operations. No guidance for MCP (13 of 15). No SLA found, and the terms disclaim uninterrupted service (0). The MCP server carries no beta label and is 1.0.0 in the official registry. The Developer API's spec is version 0.1.0 (10). 20 + 20 + 12 + 13 + 0 + 10 = 75.); Userpilot 82 (Graded on the hosted service with the hosted lines. Better Stack status page at status.userpilot.io with components for ingestion in three regions, the SDKs, the web application APIs and the website (20). From August to November 2026 the page shows only scheduled maintenance windows of two to four hours, with no incidents; the MCP server isn't a component (30). 600 requests a minute per token for the real-time APIs, but no numbers for MCP or export (12 of 15). 429 documented with exponential backoff guidance; no Retry-After or idempotency guidance (10 of 15). The SLA is a custom Enterprise contract term, not published (0). The MCP server is 1.0.0 in the registry with no beta label (10). 20+30+12+10+0+10 = 82.)
