Exploring MCP tool usage

Any MCP server instrumented with the @posthog/mcp SDK emits a $mcp_tool_call event every time an agent invokes a tool. This skill is the front door for a user who knows they want to look at their MCP tool usage but hasn't picked a specific question. Offer the menu below, then route to the tool — or the focused skill — that answers what they choose.

Every per-tool tool here is gated behind the mcp-analytics flag, takes a toolName (the effective tool name — resolved server-side, so pass the name the agent actually invokes — except posthog:query-mcp-tool-failures, which matches $exception events and so takes the raw registered $mcp_tool_name) plus a dateRange, and runs the same query runner the tool-detail UI uses. So results match the UI, and you never hand-write the HogQL.
