Short answer

How can I check my feature flags using AI?

Your AI uses the PostHog MCP to pull a list of your current feature flags and their settings. You get the status and configuration details directly in your chat window. This breakdown shows you how to get those details.

The outcomes

What you can do with flag data

The AI pulls the data so you don't have to hunt for it in the dashboard.

READ

Instant flag lists

The AI pulls all existing flags from PostHog. You see the names and statuses immediately.

AUDIT

Configuration checks

The agent reads the specific rules for any flag. You can verify if a rollout is set up correctly.

QUERY

Natural language search

Ask your agent for specific flag details instead of clicking through menus. It finds the exact data you need.

HUMAN

Manual flag changes

The AI only reads flag data. You still need to use the PostHog dashboard to toggle flags or change rules.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask about flags.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat window and your PostHog project.

  1. Fetch flag data

    Your agent reaches out to PostHog to grab the current state of your feature flags.

    list_feature_flags

  2. Filter and identify

    The AI parses the returned list to find the specific flag you asked about.

    list_feature_flags

  3. Interpret settings

    The agent reads the configuration details to explain the flag's current behavior.

    list_feature_flags

  4. Report status

    The AI presents the flag name, status, and rules in your chat.

    list_feature_flags
