Connect your Amplitude account to let the Canvas Agent bring product analytics into an investigation.
Connectors work per user and per Honeycomb Team. You connect your own account, and the Canvas Agent uses the connected service as your account. Connecting a connector does not connect it for anyone else on your Honeycomb Team. If you belong to more than one Honeycomb Team, connect your account in each Team. Your tool permissions also apply only to you, in one Honeycomb Team. There are no Team-level connector controls yet.Connectors work through your account, so an automatic investigation has no connector access at all.

​
What the Canvas Agent can do

  • Read analytics charts, event taxonomy, and cohorts.
  • Create or update charts, cohorts, and feature flags.
Honeycomb reviews each tool in a connector and gives it a default permission. Until you set your own tool permissions, these defaults apply:
  • The Canvas Agent runs reviewed read-only tools without asking.
  • For reviewed write tools and destructive tools, the Canvas Agent asks you to approve each call.
  • The Canvas Agent does not run deprecated tools.
The Canvas Agent runs a tool only when your investigation needs it. To change the defaults, visit Managing tool permissions.

​
Before you connect

The Canvas Agent connects to Amplitude through the Amplitude MCP server, which has these requirements:
  • Amplitude turns on MCP access for all users by default. An Amplitude organization admin can turn it off in Settings > Content Access > MCP.
  • To create or update charts, cohorts, and feature flags, your Amplitude role must include the Use MCP (write) permission.
  • Your Amplitude project must be in the same region as your Honeycomb Team. Honeycomb EU connects to Amplitude EU, and Honeycomb US connects to Amplitude US.
