    GrowthBook Is Live in Cogny: Experiments and Feature Flags for Your Agent

    Marketing agents live in ad platforms and analytics. Product experiments — the A/B tests and feature-flag holdouts that decide what actually ships — usually sit in a separate tool nobody thinks to connect. GrowthBook is now a live MCP integration in Cogny, so an agent auditing paid media or reporting on program-level experimentation ROI can pull the product side of the story in the same conversation.

    One Secret Key, no OAuth app to register.


    TL;DR

    • GrowthBook is live now. Connect it from your workspace Settings → Cogny Managed MCPs.
    • 11 read-only tools: list_experiments, get_experiment, list_experiment_results, get_experiment_results, list_features, get_feature, list_projects, list_fact_metrics, list_metrics, list_segments, list_data_sources. No write, start, stop or toggle tools are registered.
    • Works with GrowthBook Cloud (api.growthbook.io/api by default) and self-hosted instances — the API host is configurable per workspace.
    • Auth is a Secret Key or Personal Access Token (readonly scope is enough) created in GrowthBook Settings → API Keys, sent as a bearer token. No OAuth handshake needed.
    • list_experiment_results scans the latest computed snapshot for every experiment matching a filter in one call — an agent auditing a whole portfolio doesn't need to fetch each experiment individually.
    • GrowthBook rate-limits at 60 requests/minute; the proxy surfaces HTTP 429 with a clear message instead of retrying silently.
    • Available on any paid Cogny plan (Solo $9/mo and above). The agent pays for its own inference; Cogny handles the proxy and credential storage.

    What you can do with it

    ToolWhat Claude can do
    list_experiments + get_experimentBrowse experiments, filter by project, data source or status (draft/running/stopped)
    list_experiment_resultsLatest results snapshot for every experiment matching a filter — scan a portfolio in one call
    get_experiment_resultsLatest computed results for a single experiment, optionally by phase or dimension
    list_features + get_featureRead feature flags, their rules and rollout values
    list_projectsProjects used to scope experiments, features and metrics
    list_fact_metrics + list_metricsMetric definitions, fact-table-based and legacy
    list_segmentsSaved audience segments used in experiment analysis
    list_data_sourcesConnected data warehouses/sources

    In concrete terms: "Which experiments are currently running, and which ones already hit statistical significance?" "Is the checkout-redesign feature flag rolled out to 100% yet, or still behind a partial rule?" "Pull the latest results for every experiment in the growth project so I can roll up program ROI." The answers come from GrowthBook's own computed snapshots, not a stale export.

    It also feeds the experimentation-roi scheduled template: when a GrowthBook MCP is connected, the template calls it directly for the product/feature-flag leg of the ROI calculation instead of guessing at warehouse tables that usually don't carry holdout data for marketing customers.


    How to connect it

    1. In GrowthBook, go to Settings → API Keys and click Create Key.
    2. Choose a readonly Secret Key (or a Personal Access Token) and give it a description, e.g. "Cogny."
    3. Copy the generated key — it is only shown once.
    4. In your Cogny workspace, go to Settings → Cogny Managed MCPs, click Connect on the GrowthBook card, and paste:
      • The Secret Key or Personal Access Token
      • Your API Host, if self-hosted (GrowthBook Cloud users can leave the default https://api.growthbook.io/api)

    The key is stored encrypted, sent only as Authorization: Bearer <key> to your GrowthBook API, and scoped to the single workspace. Disconnect at any time.


    On rate limits

    GrowthBook's API is rate-limited to 60 requests/minute. That's comfortably within range for interactive agent sessions and scheduled audits, but the proxy surfaces a clear error on HTTP 429 — "Rate limit exceeded" — instead of retrying blindly, so the agent knows to back off rather than loop.


    On read-only trust

    This integration is strictly read-only, even though GrowthBook's own API supports creating and mutating experiments and feature flags. The proxy registers no create/update/start/stop/toggle tools, so an agent cannot launch an experiment, change a flag's rollout, or touch any GrowthBook state. Every tool carries MCP behavior annotations marking it read-only, so Cogny's UI and any MCP client can see that up front.


    Pairing ad-spend data with what's actually shipping in the product is where a lot of ROI conversations get stuck today. Connect GrowthBook from your Cogny dashboard and ask your first question.
