How to Connect Mixpanel to Claude Code

Query your Mixpanel data directly from Claude Code 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 Code using the config on this page. Claude Code 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 Code about your Mixpanel data.

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

What you can ask Claude Code
  • 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 Code's settings file (shown below). Swap in your API key from Settings → API Keys.

3

Ask Claude Code about your data

Restart Claude Code 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 Code

What Claude Code does with your Mixpanel data

Database access from the terminal

Claude Code can now query your databases as part of agentic coding sessions. Ask it to check schemas, pull sample data, or verify data assumptions — all without leaving the terminal.

Data-aware code generation

When Claude Code knows your actual schema through Sequel, it generates more accurate SQL, migrations, and ORM models — grounded in what's really in your database, not guesses.

Works in any Claude Code session

Once added via CLI, Sequel tools are available in every Claude Code session — interactive, one-shot, or automated. No per-project setup needed.

Configuration

Add Sequel to Claude Code

Place this in claude mcp add (CLI) and replace sql_your_api_key with a key from Settings → API Keys.

claude mcp add (CLI)

claude mcp add --transport http sequel https://api.sequel.sh/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer sql_your_api_key"

Install

Install Mixpanel MCP in Claude Code

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 Code

Terminal

claude mcp add --transport http sequel https://api.sequel.sh/mcp
  1. 1Run the command in your terminal. It adds Sequel to the current project; add --scope user for every project.
  2. 2Start Claude Code and run /mcp. Choose sequel and sign in in the browser.
  3. 3Ask a question. Claude Code asks your permission the first time it calls a tool.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Mixpanel to Claude Code?

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

What Mixpanel data can Claude Code access?

Claude Code 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 Code's servers?

Query results are returned to Claude Code 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 Code will be able to query all of them.

How do I add Sequel to Claude Code?

Run the `claude mcp add` command shown above in your terminal. Replace `sql_your_api_key` with a key from Settings → API Keys. The server is added at the default `local` scope (current project only).

How do I make Sequel available across every project?

Add the `--scope user` flag: `claude mcp add --scope user --transport http sequel https://api.sequel.sh/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer sql_your_api_key"`. User-scope servers are available in every Claude Code session on this machine.

Can I verify Sequel is connected?

Run `claude mcp list` to see all configured MCP servers, or `claude mcp get sequel` to inspect the Sequel config specifically.

Does this work in Claude Code's non-interactive mode?

Yes. Sequel tools are available in both interactive (`claude`) and non-interactive (`claude -p 'your prompt'`) modes. They're also available when using Claude Code via the SDK.

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.
