# Connect an AI agent

> Wire any AI support agent to pull a user's live in-app activity — pick a door, satisfy identity, follow the per-agent recipe.

Any AI agent can pull [live user activity](/activity/overview). Wiring one is always the same three moves — only the per-agent specifics change.

## 1. 🔌 Connect via MCP (recommended)

The recommended way for an agent to read live activity is the **[MCP server](/mcp/server)** — one endpoint, the `get_live_user_activity` tool, Bearer auth. Point your agent at it and it can pull a user's recent activity on demand.

<Note>
  **Optional fallback — REST.** If an agent can't speak MCP but can call an external HTTP endpoint (e.g. Intercom's "data connectors"), the same activity is available at the **[REST endpoint](/activity/overview)** with the same Bearer auth. Reach for this only when MCP isn't an option.
</Note>

## 2. 🔑 Satisfy identity

Make the agent send the **same `user_id`** that activity is stored under — your activity source's stable user id (e.g. the PostHog `identify` id, the Amplitude `user_id`). This is the step that most often gets skipped — see **[Identity](/activity/identity)**.

## 3. 🤖 Follow the per-agent recipe

<Note>
  Adding a new agent doesn't change this surface — the endpoint, the MCP tool, and the identity rule stay the same. A new agent just needs its own short recipe describing how *it* calls the endpoint and how *it* passes a verified `user_id`.
