# Create and sync a cohort

Creates or reads a cohort of users, checks membership, exports it as CSV, or syncs it to a destination such as Braze, Iterable or a webhook.

A sync previews the export and asks for confirmation before it sends anything
to the destination.

## Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

### MCP (official, remote)

Add this server to your agent's MCP settings, then sign in when asked.

```json
{ "mcpServers": { "amplitude": { "url": "https://mcp.amplitude.com/mcp" } } }
```

Call the MCP tool `use_amplitude_cohorts`.

Server URL: https://mcp.amplitude.com/mcp

Before doing anything else, make one read-only call to confirm access.

## Rules

- Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data.
- Never print API keys.
