What it does
The GrowthBook MCP server connects Claude to GrowthBook's experimentation platform. According to the README, you can view experiment details and manage feature flags; the server also communicates with GrowthBook's API to perform related operations.
Who it's for
Product managers and engineers who run A/B tests and manage feature flags in GrowthBook and want to query or modify them from Claude or other LLM clients without context-switching to the web UI.
Common use cases
- Query experiment details and results while analyzing feature impact
- Create and manage feature flags from Claude
- Check feature flag status during code reviews or development
- Inspect experiment metrics to inform product decisions
- Access GrowthBook data without leaving your LLM client
Setup pitfalls
- Requires two environment variables:
GB_API_KEY(a GrowthBook API key or personal access token) andGB_EMAIL. PAT permissions are enforced—if you cannot create experiments in the GrowthBook UI, you will not be able to via the MCP server. - CI is currently failing; test compatibility with your GrowthBook instance before deploying in production.
- The server reads and writes to the filesystem—ensure proper sandboxing if running untrusted code.
- Custom HTTP headers (
GB_HTTP_HEADER_*) require proper formatting; underscores are converted to hyphens in header names.
