Connect PostHog to Codex

  • Can I rerun this in CI?

Have Codex use your PostHog data to check signups against ad clicks, then rerun it any time with codex exec. Lemonado connects them in about 1 minute, no API keys needed.

Why connect PostHog to Codex?

Codex runs in your terminal, its IDE extension and scripts, so what it finds once can be rerun with codex exec instead of redone by hand. Connected through Lemonado, it reads your PostHog events, funnels, persons and insights, so it can check signups against ad clicks with today's numbers.

  • All your PostHog data

    Events, pageviews and their properties, ready to ask about.

  • Always today's numbers

    Persons with UTM and referrer properties, synced from PostHog automatically, so answers use today's numbers.

  • Connect all your tools

    Questions like "What does an activated user cost?" use PostHog and Mixpanel, GA4 at once.

    Ask Codex about PostHog

    Run codex mcp list, or /mcp inside Codex, to see the server and its tools. Try "Pull last week's PostHog numbers, save them to data/posthog-weekly.csv and give me the codex exec command to refresh it." Or ask: "Which events never fire?" or "Do UTMs survive redirects?"

What can Codex do with PostHog?

Codex reads your PostHog data from your terminal and turns one-off questions into commands you can rerun with codex exec.

Codex logoCodex

Pull last week's PostHog numbers, save them to data/posthog-weekly.csv and give me the codex exec command to refresh it.

Saved data/posthog-weekly.csv. Run the same prompt with codex exec in a scheduled job and the file refreshes with each week's numbers.

Run codex mcp list. If lemonado shows as not logged in, run codex mcp login lemonado again. In Lemonado, check that PostHog is connected and External tools is on for the company.
