PostHog's own server, now kept in the main PostHog repository (the old PostHog/mcp repo is archived). It runs as a hosted endpoint you connect to over HTTPS, signing in with OAuth or a personal API key made from PostHog's MCP Server preset, and it proxies to your project rather than storing your analytics data. Very active, with 35 people committing in the 90 days before this check and no advisory against the MCP code, so it earns full marks. Main caution: it is not read-only. Tools can create and update feature flags, experiments and other project settings, and some can delete, and a flag change can switch a feature on or off for real users, so limit the API key's scopes to read access and approve write calls by hand. Your queries and results pass through PostHog's US or EU cloud (use mcp-eu.posthog.com for EU projects). Self-hosted PostHog works by setting a base URL on a locally run copy. The separate Claude Code plugin can optionally send your Claude Code sessions to PostHog, but only if you set a flag and a project key; it is off by default.

Is PostHog MCP Server safe?
Is PostHog MCP Server safe to use?
PostHog MCP Server grades A: all four checks are at full marks. Strong public trust signals. It is still not a full audit, so give it the narrowest access that works.
Does PostHog MCP Server have known vulnerabilities?
Not in our current data: it has no open CVEs or advisories. We re-check as new ones are published.
Does PostHog MCP Server support authentication?
Yes. It requires a login, so access can be tied to a person or a scoped key.
