Why connect PostHog to Zed?

Zed's Agent panel can call MCP servers, which Zed calls context servers, while it edits your files. Connected through Lemonado, it reads your PostHog events, funnels, persons and insights, so it can see which campaigns bring users who activate 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.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, through Lemonado. Connect your PostHog project in Lemonado, add Lemonado as a context server in Zed, and Zed can see which campaigns bring users who activate with your live data.

Yes. PostHog's official MCP server is hosted, so Zed can use it too. It covers PostHog only. Lemonado covers PostHog plus your ad platforms, GA4 and the rest of your stack in one connection, so Zed can answer questions across them.

Open the Agent panel settings and check the lemonado server's status dot. If it isn't green, restart the server and sign in again. In Lemonado, check that PostHog is connected and External tools is on for the company. If sources are missing, check that your site keeps UTM parameters through redirects. PostHog can only record the source it sees on the first page.

Yes, if both are connected in Lemonado. One connection reaches every source you allow, so you can ask things like "Divide last month's spend on Google Ads, Meta and LinkedIn by the PostHog users each one sent who completed onboarding."

MCP is included in Lemonado's paid plans and in the free trial, so you can try it before you pay.
