PostHog

Operates PostHog via REST API — event analytics, HogQL queries, feature flags, experiments, session recording metadata, insights, persons. Supports US cloud, EU cloud, and self-hosted. No MCP server required.

Usage

• Use for: HogQL queries ("how many $pageview last 7d?"), flag inspect/toggle, last-N events for a user, experiment results.
• Skip for: Debugging client-side tracking, raw event ingestion (use an SDK), concept questions, raw replay JSON export (UI-only).

Credentials check

[ -n "${POSTHOG_PERSONAL_API_KEY:-$POSTHOG_API_KEY}" ] && echo "POSTHOG_API_KEY: PRESENT" || echo "POSTHOG_API_KEY: MISSING"

Never echo the variable directly.

If MISSING, respond to the user with EXACTLY this message (do NOT paraphrase, do NOT suggest manual JSON edits):
