How do I create a PostHog Personal API Key?

Log in to [**PostHog**](https://app.posthog.com), click your profile icon > **Personal API keys**, then **+ Create a Personal API Key**. Give it a label, select the required scopes and copy the key immediately — it won't be shown again after page refresh.

Can I toggle feature flags via the agent?

Yes! Use `create_feature_flag` to add new flags, `update_feature_flag` to modify existing ones (name, description, enabled status), and `delete_feature_flag` to remove them. You'll need the numeric flag ID from `list_feature_flags` for update and delete operations.

What's the difference between events and persons?

**Events** are actions that happen in your product (pageviews, button clicks, purchases). **Persons** are the users who perform those actions, identified by distinct_id. Events are linked to persons, so you can see what actions a specific user has taken. Use `list_events` to browse activity and `get_person` to see a user's profile.

Can I use this with a self-hosted PostHog instance?

Yes! The tools default to `https://app.posthog.com` for the US cloud, but you can set the `host` parameter to your self-hosted instance URL (e.g. `https://posthog.yourcompany.com`). EU cloud users should set the host to `https://eu.posthog.com`.

PostHog Alternative + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating PostHog Alternative MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call PostHog Alternative tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
