What is posthog-mcp CLAUDE.md?

A set of project instructions for developing a PostHog analytics API server on Cloudflare Workers. It documents commands, code structure, deployment, formatting, linting, and schema generation.

It is for developing, formatting, checking, deploying, and generating schemas for the TypeScript and planned Python implementations.

It gives coding agents the repository-specific commands and structure needed to work consistently in that project.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01242	$0.01242
Opus 5.5	$0.00497	$0.00497
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00248	$0.00248

Security

Grade A, and why

posthog-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to mcp CLAUDE.md — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Development Commands

pnpm run dev - Start development server using Wrangler
pnpm run deploy - Deploy to Cloudflare Workers
pnpm run format - Format code using Biome
pnpm run lint:fix - Lint and fix code using Biome
pnpm run schema:build:json - Generate JSON schema from Zod schemas for Python/other language implementations
wrangler types - Generate TypeScript types for Cloudflare Workers

Code Architecture

This is a PostHog MCP (Model Context Protocol) server built on Cloudflare Workers that provides API access to PostHog analytics data. The server acts as a bridge between MCP clients (like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf) and PostHog's API.

Project Structure

The repository is organized to support multiple language implementations:

mcp/
├── typescript/          # TypeScript implementation
│   ├── src/            # TypeScript source code
│   ├── tests/          # TypeScript tests
│   └── scripts/        # TypeScript build scripts
├── python/             # Python implementation (planned)
├── schema/             # Shared schema files for all implementations
│   └── tool-inputs.json # Generated JSON schema for cross-language compatibility

└── CLAUDE.md           # Project documentation

Key Components (TypeScript Implementation)

Main MCP Class (typescript/src/index.ts): MyMCP extends McpAgent and defines all available tools for interacting with PostHog
Unified API Client (typescript/src/api/client.ts): ApiClient class provides type-safe methods for all PostHog API interactions with proper error handling and schema validation
Schema Validation (typescript/src/schema/): Zod schemas for validating API requests and responses
Tool Input Schemas (typescript/src/schema/tool-inputs.ts): Centralized Zod schemas for all MCP tool inputs, exported to schema/tool-inputs.json for other language implementations
Caching (typescript/src/lib/utils/cache/): User-scoped memory cache for storing project/org state
Documentation Search (typescript/src/inkeepApi.ts): Integration with Inkeep for PostHog docs search
Utility Functions (typescript/src/lib/utils/api.ts): Helper functions for pagination and URL generation

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
