Why connect Mixpanel to VS Code (GitHub Copilot)?
Copilot's agent mode can call MCP tools inside your workspace, so it can read live numbers while it edits code and docs. Connected through Lemonado, it reads your Mixpanel events, funnels, retention and cohorts, so it can find where onboarding loses people with today's numbers.
All your Mixpanel data
Every event you track, with its properties, ready to ask about.
Always today's numbers
Retention by signup week, synced from Mixpanel automatically, so answers use today's numbers.
Connect all your tools
Questions like "Which channel brings active users?" use Mixpanel and PostHog, GA4 at once.
How to connect Mixpanel to VS Code (GitHub Copilot)
Before you start

- 1
Connect Mixpanel in Lemonado
In Lemonado, open Connectors, find Mixpanel and sign in. Sign in to Mixpanel and pick the project. If your data lives in the EU or India region, pick that project, not a US one.
- 2
Turn on external access
In the company's settings, open External tools, turn the connection on, choose which sources it can reach and copy the server URL.

texthttps://mcp.lemonado.io/mcp - 4

Ask VS Code (GitHub Copilot) about Mixpanel
Try "Update the table in docs/kpis.md with last month's Mixpanel numbers and add one line on what changed." Or ask: "Save retention by cohort" or "Which first-week actions predict retention?"
Good to know
- The older .vscode/mcp.json format still works for the local harness, but VS Code now marks that destination as deprecated. It uses a servers key with type http and the same URL.
What can VS Code (GitHub Copilot) do with Mixpanel?
Copilot reads your Mixpanel data in agent mode and works the numbers into your code, docs and notebooks in the workspace you have open.

Compare the event names in our tracking plan file with what Mixpanel received last week. List events that arrive under a different name.
4 events arrive renamed. "Report Shared" comes in as "report_shared" from the mobile app, so charts split it in two.
