Why connect PostHog to Windsurf (Devin Desktop)?
Windsurf's agent works across your files and terminal, but on its own it can't see what your campaigns are doing. 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.

Add the server (Devin Local)

Ask Windsurf (Devin Desktop) about PostHog
Try "Compare last month's PostHog numbers with the targets in config/targets.json and update the file where we're consistently off." Or ask: "Which events never fire?" or "Do UTMs survive redirects?"
Good to know
- Devin Local and legacy Cascade keep separate setups, so sign in to each one you use.
- Current versions keep user MCP config in ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json on macOS and Linux.
What can Windsurf (Devin Desktop) do with PostHog?
Windsurf's agent reads your PostHog data and works the numbers into your code, from config checks to reports saved in the repo.
Compare last month's PostHog numbers with the targets in config/targets.json and update the file where we're consistently off.
2 of 6 targets were missed three months running. I updated them in config/targets.json and left a comment with the numbers behind each change.
Source: PostHog + your code
List every capture() call in our code and compare it with events PostHog received in the last 14 days.
4 of 52 never fire. Two sit behind a flag that's off, and two are on a settings page nobody opened.
Source: PostHog + your code
Trace utm_source from our landing pages to the signup event in the code, and count PostHog signups last week with no source.
The OAuth callback drops the query string, so 41% of signups last week have no source. Fixed by storing UTMs in a cookie before the redirect.
Source: PostHog + your code
Save last quarter's PostHog landing page to signup to activation funnel by week and source to data/posthog_funnel.csv.
Saved 13 weeks by 6 sources. Paid search activation dipped in weeks 8 to 10 while other sources held.
Source: PostHog + your code
Show the landing page to signup to first dashboard funnel for last month, split by first-touch UTM source.
