build-charts-with-typed-params

build-charts-with-typed-params is a skill for Claude Code from amplitude/mcp-marketplace. It costs 79 tokens per session (3,266 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A way to describe Amplitude charts using typed fields that mirror the chart builder. Typed fields are checked for the right structure before the chart is created.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating, editing, or copying charts with events, filters, groups, segments, date ranges, funnels, retention, sessions, or data tables.
Why use it?
It reduces malformed chart definitions and gives clearer errors when a chart parameter is wrong.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

build-charts-with-typed-params scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Build Charts With Typed Params

Express the chart as typed, UI-shaped parameters and let the server compile it. Do not hand-build raw definition JSON.

Typed chart first

query_amplitude_data takes exactly one of chart or definition.

  • chart (preferred) — a small model mirroring the chart builder UI. It is compiled server-side by Langley's CompileChart into a validated definition, so a successful compile is structurally correct by construction. Compile errors name the offending field and come back with a fix-oriented hint.
  • definition (fallback) — raw definition JSON. Only for chart types the typed model does not cover (composition, revenueLtv) or advanced params with no typed field.

Field names are snake_case; they are validated server-side by Pydantic.

The one thing that goes wrong

The compiler validates structure, not your taxonomy. An event or property name that doesn't exist won't error — it returns a well-formed chart with empty data, which reads like a real answer of "zero".

Resolve names first with the taxonomy search/read capabilities advertised by the connected catalog. Read event, user, or group properties as appropriate and use the exact name and scope returned. Do not invent a property-reader name from server prose or copy parameters from an older schema.

Two workflows

Create: discover names with the current taxonomy capability → build the typed chart → call query_amplitude_datarender_amplitude_chart with the returned chartEditId to show it.

Modify or fork a saved chart: search_amp_entities to find the chart id → get_amplitude_charts with include: 'typed' → edit the returned object → call query_amplitude_data with that chart and chartId set to the saved chart id. Passing chartId links the edit to its parent, and the parent's params fill any gaps the typed model omits. Reading a real chart back as typed params is also the fastest way to see how this project spells things.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

build-charts-with-typed-params is a skill published in the GitHub repository amplitude/mcp-marketplace (35 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 3,266 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
