Official serverRemoteProduct analytics

1. Add the server

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "posthog": {
      "url": "https://mcp.posthog.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

2. Sign in

Cursor prompts you to sign in the first time a remote OAuth server is used. PostHog is hosted by PostHog, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.

3. Try it

Ask Cursor for something PostHog can do. Query product analytics, manage feature flags and experiments, and inspect errors. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.

· Remote servers take a url; local servers take command and args.
· Values can reference ${env:NAME} so secrets stay out of the file.
