Downloading batch export files
Use this skill when a user wants a one-off downloadable export of PostHog data. The export is started and monitored through MCP, but the final file download uses the existing REST endpoint directly.
Available MCP tools
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
posthog:file-download-batch-exports-create |
Start an on-demand export and return the run ID |
posthog:file-download-batch-exports-retrieve |
Poll the run status and return file IDs after completion |
Do not rely on a generated MCP tool for the /download/ endpoint.
That endpoint is a redirecting file download endpoint, so raw HTTP/download handling is the right interface until MCP has explicit redirect support.
