What is the PostHog Alternative MCP Server?
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

- 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

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.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
