Finding experiments

Users refer to experiments by name, description, or relative references — not by ID. This skill resolves natural language references to concrete experiment IDs.

How to find an experiment

Use the experiment-list tool from the Posthog-local MCP server.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT use feature-flag-get-all or any feature flag tool to find experiments. Use the dedicated experiment list tool: experiment-list.

This tool returns experiments with their id, name, status, feature_flag_key, start_date, end_date, and created_at. Browse the returned list to find the experiment matching the user's reference:

• By name: scan the name field for matches
• By recency: results are ordered newest first by default
• By status: match the status field (draft, running, stopped)
