Connect your PostHog account to any AI agent and gain full control over your product analytics, feature flags and user cohorts through natural conversation.
What you can do
- User & Project Discovery — Verify your account access and list all analytics projects
- Feature Flag Management — List, create, update and delete feature flags with rollout configuration
- Cohort Inspection — Review all behavioral cohorts and their filter definitions
- Person Analytics — Look up individual users by distinct ID, view their properties and activity timeline
- Event Tracking — Browse recent events, filter by event type and inspect event properties
- Timeline Annotations — Create and review annotations that correlate metric changes with deployments or launches
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your PostHog Personal API Key
- Start managing your product analytics and feature flags from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Stop switching between PostHog dashboards to check flag status or review event data. Your AI acts as a dedicated product analytics engineer.
Who is this for?

- Developers — toggle feature flags, inspect event payloads and verify person properties without opening the PostHog UI
- Data Analysts — browse recent events, review person profiles and cohort membership for analysis
Built-in capabilities (13)
Annotations appear on insights graphs and help correlate metric changes with deployments, launches or incidents. Requires the content text. Optionally set a date_marker (ISO 8601 date). Create a new annotation in PostHog
Requires the flag key (unique identifier). Optionally set the name, description, enabled status, rollout percentage and filters. The key must be unique across all flags in the project. Create a new PostHog feature flag
All targeting conditions, release conditions and experiment data associated with the flag will be deleted. Provide the numeric flag ID. WARNING: this action is irreversible. Delete a PostHog feature flag
Provide the numeric flag ID from list_feature_flags. Get details for a specific PostHog feature flag
Provide the distinct_id used to identify the person. Get details for a specific person in PostHog
Returns user ID, email, name, organization membership and permissions. Use this to verify your API key is working and check your access level. Get the current PostHog user details
Annotations are markers on timeline graphs that highlight important events like deployments, feature launches or incidents. Returns annotation ID, content, date marker and whether it is pinned. List annotations in PostHog
Each cohort is a dynamic group of users defined by event-based or property-based filters. Returns cohort ID, name, description, whether it is calculated or static. List behavioral cohorts in PostHog

Frequently asked questions
How do I create a PostHog Personal API Key?
Log in to PostHog, 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.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
