Install the PostHog MCP Server
Pick your client. Remote first: nothing to install, and you sign in with OAuth where the client supports it. Config shapes checked against each client's docs on 2026-10-25.
The URL also takes Authorization as a header (see its docs), for clients without OAuth sign-in.
Run in a terminal, then /mcp inside Claude Code to sign in. Add --scope project to share it via .mcp.json. docs
claude mcp add --transport http posthog https://mcp.posthog.com/mcp
Customize > Connectors > Add > Add custom connector, paste this URL and sign in. It syncs to Claude Desktop and mobile. docs
https://mcp.posthog.com/mcp
The free plan allows one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it under Organization settings > Connectors.
