Microsoft Clarity API + MCP Server + A2A Agent

clarity-api is a typed, action-routed connector for the Microsoft Clarity Data Export API, built on agent-utilities. It ships a Python Api client, a FastMCP MCP server (clarity-mcp), and an optional Pydantic-AI A2A agent server (clarity-agent).

It works with the dashboard data — structured over a specified date range and broken down by up to three dimensions.

Architecture

clarity-api follows the standard agent-package layering: a typed REST client at the bottom, an action-routed MCP tool layer in the middle, and an optional Pydantic-AI A2A agent server on top. The MCP tool depends on an injected client via Depends(get_client), which resolves credentials (OIDC delegation or a fixed CLARITY_TOKEN) before talking to the Microsoft Clarity REST API.

Layer	Module	Responsibility
Agent	clarity_api/agent_server.py	Pydantic-AI A2A server, AG-UI web interface
Tooling	clarity_api/mcp/, clarity_api/mcp_server.py	Action-routed MCP tool registration
Service	clarity_api/services/	InsightsService — dependency-injected data-export use case
Auth seam	clarity_api/auth.py	get_client dependency: OIDC delegation / fixed token
Client	clarity_api/api/	ClarityApiBase + ClarityApiInsights mixins composed into Api
Models	clarity_api/clarity_models.py	Pydantic request/response validation

Key Features

• Typed Python client — clarity_api.api_client.Api, composed from modular per-domain mixins in clarity_api/api/, validating credentials against GET /projects.
• Action-routed MCP tool — clarity_insights (CONCEPT:CLA-001) consolidates the Data Export surface to minimize LLM token overhead.
• A2A agent server — clarity-agent auto-discovers the MCP tools and exposes an AG-UI web interface.
• Enterprise-ready — inherits OIDC auth, OpenTelemetry, audit logging, prompt-injection defense, and guardrails from agent-utilities.

Available MCP Tools

Tool	Concept	Actions	Description
clarity_insights	CONCEPT:CLA-001	get_data_export	Export Clarity dashboard data / live insights

Parameters

• number_of_days (1, 2, or 3): last 24, 48, or 72 hours.
• dimension_1, dimension_2, dimension_3: breakdown dimensions.

Dimension Options

Browser, Device, Country, OS, Source, Medium, Campaign, Channel, URL.

Dynamic Tool Selection

Each tool domain is gated behind an env toggle so deployments can trim their surface:

Toggle	Default	Domain
INSIGHTSTOOL	True	clarity_insights

Environment Variables

All runtime configuration is supplied via environment variables (or a .env file — see .env.example). Never commit real tokens.

Clarity credentials

Variable	Default	Description
CLARITY_URL	https://www.clarity.ms	Base URL of the Microsoft Clarity instance.
CLARITY_TOKEN	(none)	Bearer API token generated in the Clarity project settings. Required unless OIDC delegation is enabled.
CLARITY_SSL_VERIFY	True	Whether to verify TLS certificates when calling the Clarity API.

MCP server / transport

Variable	Default	Description
TRANSPORT	stdio	MCP transport: stdio, streamable-http, or sse.
HOST	0.0.0.0	Bind host for HTTP transports.
PORT	8000	Bind port for HTTP transports.
AUTH_TYPE	none	MCP server auth scheme inherited from agent-utilities (e.g. none, oidc).
FASTMCP_LOG_LEVEL	ERROR	FastMCP log verbosity. Set to ERROR at startup to suppress log spam.
INSIGHTSTOOL	True	Toggle registration of the clarity_insights tool (see Dynamic Tool Selection).

Telemetry & access governance

Variable	Default	Description
ENABLE_OTEL	True	Enable OpenTelemetry export of traces/metrics.
EUNOMIA_TYPE	none	Eunomia authorization mode: none, embedded, or remote.
EUNOMIA_POLICY_FILE	mcp_policies.json	Path to the local Eunomia policy file (embedded mode).

Build / terminal (set automatically — usually no action needed)

Variable	Default	Description
UV_COMPILE_BYTECODE	1	Set in the Docker image to precompile bytecode for faster cold starts.
NO_COLOR / TERM	1 / dumb	Terminal-control variables set at MCP startup to keep stdio transport output machine-clean. Not app configuration — listed for completeness.

Configuration

stdio (local agent integration)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clarity-api": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "--with", "clarity-api", "clarity-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CLARITY_URL": "https://www.clarity.ms",
        "CLARITY_TOKEN": "<YOUR_CLARITY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Streamable HTTP

export CLARITY_URL=https://www.clarity.ms
export CLARITY_TOKEN=<your-clarity-token>
clarity-mcp --transport streamable-http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

Docker

docker pull knucklessg1/clarity-api:latest
docker compose -f docker/mcp.compose.yml up -d

Agent

The clarity-agent entry point (clarity_api/agent_server.py) starts a Pydantic-AI A2A server that auto-discovers the MCP tools and exposes an AG-UI web interface.

Run locally

clarity-agent --web --provider openai --model-id gpt-4o

The agent reads its identity from clarity_api/agent_data/IDENTITY.md and discovers tools via mcp_config.json.

Deploy with Docker Compose

docker/agent.compose.yml runs the MCP server and the agent server side by side; the agent connects to the MCP server over MCP_URL:

services:
  clarity-api-mcp:
    image: knucklessg1/clarity-api:latest
    restart: always
    env_file: [ ../.env ]
    environment:
      - HOST=0.0.0.0
      - PORT=8000
      - TRANSPORT=streamable-http
    ports: [ "8000:8000" ]

  clarity-api-agent:
    image: knucklessg1/clarity-api:latest
    restart: always
    depends_on: [ clarity-api-mcp ]
    command: [ "clarity-agent" ]
    env_file: [ ../.env ]
    environment:
      - HOST=0.0.0.0
      - PORT=9017
      - MCP_URL=http://clarity-api-mcp:8000/mcp
      - PROVIDER=${PROVIDER:-openai}
      - MODEL_ID=${MODEL_ID:-gpt-4o}
      - ENABLE_WEB_UI=True
      - ENABLE_OTEL=True
    ports: [ "9017:9017" ]

docker compose -f docker/agent.compose.yml up -d

Usage (Python client)

#!/usr/bin/python
# coding: utf-8
import clarity_api

token = "<TOKEN>"
url = "https://www.clarity.ms"
client = clarity_api.Api(url=url, token=token)

response = client.get_data_export(number_of_days=2, dimension_1="OS", dimension_2="Channel")
print("Status Code:", response.status_code)
print("JSON Output:", response.json())

Security & Governance

clarity-api inherits enterprise infrastructure from agent-utilities: JWT/OIDC authentication, OpenTelemetry instrumentation, HashiCorp Vault secret resolution, append-only audit logging (agent-utilities OS-5.4), prompt-injection defense (OS-5.1), and the guardrail engine (OS-5.3). The connector stays inactive until CLARITY_URL and CLARITY_TOKEN are configured. Never commit .env files or tokens.

Installation

python -m pip install "clarity-api[all]"

Extra	Use for
(none)	the Api client
mcp	the clarity-mcp MCP server
agent	the clarity-agent A2A agent
all	everything

Obtaining Access Tokens

Note: Only project admins can manage access tokens.

1. Go to your Clarity project. Select Settings → Data Export → Generate new API token.
2. Provide a descriptive name for the token for easy identification.
