How to Connect Mixpanel to Claude

Query your Mixpanel data directly from Claude using Sequel’s MCP server. Ask questions in plain English, with no SQL, no dashboards, and no context switching.

Short answer

Connect Mixpanel to Sequel, then add Sequel's MCP server to Claude using the config on this page. Claude can then query your live Mixpanel data in plain English, with no connector code and no CSV exports. Both steps take a few minutes.

Example prompts

Everything you can ask Claude about your Mixpanel data.

Ask in plain English — Sequel translates it into a Mixpanel query, runs it, and Claude hands back the answer. No SQL, no dashboards, no CSV exports.

What you can ask Claude
  • How many users completed 'Subscription Started' last week, by plan?
  • Show me the signup → activation funnel conversion for the past 30 days.
  • Compare DAU for iOS vs Android over the last 60 days.
  • What's the average value of 'Order Placed' broken down by country?
  • Which step in funnel 4321 has the biggest drop-off?

How it works

Three steps to get started

1

Connect Mixpanel to Sequel

In your Sequel dashboard, go to Connections and add Mixpanel. Sequel handles authentication and schema discovery automatically.

2

Add Sequel to the agent

Copy the Sequel MCP configuration into Claude's settings file (shown below). Swap in your API key from Settings → API Keys.

3

Ask Claude about your data

Restart Claude and start asking questions. "How many users completed 'Subscription Started' last week, by plan?" — and get a real answer backed by live Mixpanel data.

Why Claude

What Claude does with your Mixpanel data

Ask anything about your data

Claude understands natural language. Just describe what you want to know — "Show me revenue by region for Q1" — and Sequel fetches the data, runs the query, and Claude explains the results in context.

Multi-source analysis in one conversation

Sequel connects to databases, analytics platforms, and SaaS tools. Ask Claude to join your Postgres revenue data with Google Analytics sessions in a single thread — no SQL required.

Python workbench inside the chat

Need a chart or statistical analysis? Claude can run Python code in Sequel's isolated sandbox — pandas, matplotlib, seaborn all included — and return the result directly in your conversation.

Configuration

Add Sequel to Claude

Place this in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and replace sql_your_api_key with a key from Settings → API Keys.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sequel": {
      "url": "https://api.sequel.sh/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sql_your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Install

Install Mixpanel MCP in Claude

Pick your app and Sequel installs itself: a one-click link where the client supports it, that client’s own few steps where it doesn’t. Every route signs in with your Sequel account over OAuth, so there is no API key to copy and nothing to keep in sync.

Already have an MCP client?

https://api.sequel.sh/mcp

Add it as a remote (streamable HTTP) server and sign in when prompted. Skills come with it; nothing else to install. Manual setup per client

Add Sequel to Claude

One click: the button above opens Claude with Sequel pre-filled, and Claude signs you in with your Sequel account. There is no key to paste.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Mixpanel to Claude?

You need two things: (1) connect Mixpanel to Sequel in your Sequel dashboard under Connections, and (2) add the Sequel MCP config to Claude using the setup shown above. Once both are done, Claude can query your Mixpanel data directly.

What Mixpanel data can Claude access?

Claude can access any data available through your Mixpanel connection in Sequel. Use Sequel's search tool to discover available metrics and dimensions, then execute queries to pull the data you need.

Is my Mixpanel data sent to Claude's servers?

Query results are returned to Claude as context within your conversation. Only the data you explicitly ask about is retrieved. Sequel never stores your query results permanently — they exist only for the duration of the tool call.

Do I need a Sequel account?

Yes. You need a Sequel account to connect Mixpanel and generate an API key. Sign up free at sequel.sh — no credit card required. Then create a connection to Mixpanel and generate an API key from Settings → API Keys.

Can I connect multiple Mixpanel accounts?

Yes. Sequel supports multiple connections of the same type. If you have multiple Mixpanel accounts or properties, add each as a separate connection in Sequel. Claude will be able to query all of them.

Does this work with Claude Desktop and Claude.ai?

The JSON config above works with Claude Desktop (Mac and Windows). Claude.ai supports MCP through Workspaces — go to Settings → Integrations to add the Sequel MCP URL there.

What databases can Claude query through Sequel?

Any database or analytics tool you've connected in Sequel: PostgreSQL, MySQL, ClickHouse, BigQuery, Snowflake, Google Analytics, and more. Claude can only access connections your organization has set up.

Is my database data sent to Anthropic?

Query results are passed to Claude as context within your conversation. Anthropic's standard data handling policies apply. Sequel never stores your query results permanently — they exist only for the duration of the tool call.

Can I limit which connections Claude can see?

Sequel MCP is scoped to your organization's connections. You can create separate API keys for different use cases and revoke them at any time from Settings → API Keys.

How do I connect Mixpanel to Sequel?

Create a Service Account in Mixpanel under Organization Settings → Service Accounts with at least project-level read access. Copy the username (looks like `my-sa.abc123.mp-service-account`) and the secret shown once at creation, then paste both into Sequel along with your numeric project ID and region.

Why a Service Account instead of an OAuth login?

Service Accounts are the long-lived, scope-limited credential Mixpanel recommends for programmatic access. They can be revoked or rotated independently of any user's login, and they don't break when a teammate leaves. Sequel uses HTTP Basic auth with the service account username and secret.

Which Mixpanel region should I pick?

Use the region your project was created in. US projects use mixpanel.com / data.mixpanel.com. EU projects use eu.mixpanel.com / data-eu.mixpanel.com. The region toggle simply chooses which API host Sequel calls — pick the wrong one and you'll see 401s or empty results.

Can Sequel modify data in Mixpanel?

No. The connector only ships read-only tools: segmentation, funnel report, list funnels, list events, list event properties, and raw event export. The agent has no write surface, so it cannot create reports, funnels, or cohorts.
