PostHog MCP for Zed

The PostHog MCP server enables Zed to directly interact with your PostHog data – managing feature flags, querying analytics, investigating errors, and more.

Server URL

https://mcp.posthog.com/mcp

The PostHog authentication server automatically routes you to the correct data region (US or EU) based on the account you log in with.

Quick install

The PostHog Wizard can install the MCP server directly into Zed:

npx @posthog/wizard mcp add

Manual setup

1. Open Zed and update settings.json with the following configuration:

{
  "context_servers": {
    "posthog": {
      "enabled": true,
      "url": "https://mcp.posthog.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

2. Save the configuration file
3. The PostHog MCP server will be available

When you first use the MCP server, you'll be prompted to log in to PostHog to authenticate.

Be mindful of prompt injection – LLMs can be tricked into following untrusted commands, so always review tool calls before executing them.
