             "--directory",
             "/path/to/your/posthog-mcp"  # Full path to this project
           ]
         }
       }
     }

Usage

After setup, you’ll see a hammer icon in Claude Desktop. The following commands are available:

List Projects

Ask Claude:

"List my PostHog projects"

Get and Search for Insights

Ask Claude:

“List my PostHog insights” or “Search for revenue insights in my PostHog”

Search for documentations online

You can ask:

• “how can i do reverse proxy in nextjs in posthog?”

Create Annotation

Using the Project ID you get from the list of projects, ask Claude:

"Create a PostHog annotation in project 53497 saying 'Deployed v1.2.3'"

or with a specific date:

"Create a PostHog annotation in project 53497 for March 20th saying 'Started new marketing campaign'"

Troubleshooting

• If the hammer icon doesn’t appear, restart Claude Desktop
• Check logs at ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log (macOS) or %APPDATA%Claudelogs (Windows)
• Verify your PostHog API key has the correct permissions
• Make sure all paths in claude_desktop_config.json are absolute paths
