How to Connect Mixpanel to OpenClaw

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

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

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

3

Ask OpenClaw about your data

Restart OpenClaw 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 OpenClaw

What OpenClaw does with your Mixpanel data

One agent, every data source

OpenClaw hosts the MCP servers your agents share. Add Sequel once and every agent on the gateway can query Postgres, BigQuery, ClickHouse, Google Analytics, Stripe, and more — joined across sources in a single answer.

Scope exactly what the agent can touch

OpenClaw decides which MCP tools an agent sees through tool profiles and per-server tool filters. Expose Sequel's read tools to your marketing agent and keep the surface tight — access is a config line, not a credential hand-off.

Self-hosted, with credentials that never leave Sequel

OpenClaw runs on your infrastructure and talks to Sequel over an authenticated HTTPS MCP endpoint. Your database passwords and OAuth tokens stay encrypted in Sequel; OpenClaw only ever holds a scoped Sequel API key.

Configuration

Add Sequel to OpenClaw

Place this in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json and replace sql_your_api_key with a key from Settings → API Keys.

~/.openclaw/openclaw.json

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "sequel": {
        "url": "https://api.sequel.sh/mcp",
        "transport": "streamable-http",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer sql_your_api_key"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Install

Install Mixpanel MCP in OpenClaw

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.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Mixpanel to OpenClaw?

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

What Mixpanel data can OpenClaw access?

OpenClaw 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 OpenClaw's servers?

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

How do I add Sequel to OpenClaw?

Add the snippet above to your OpenClaw config (`~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`) under `mcp.servers`, or run `openclaw mcp set sequel '{"url":"https://api.sequel.sh/mcp","transport":"streamable-http","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer sql_your_api_key"}}'`, then reload the gateway. The Sequel CLI can do it for you with `sequel install openclaw`.

Which data sources can OpenClaw query through Sequel?

Any source you've connected in Sequel: PostgreSQL, MySQL, ClickHouse, BigQuery, Snowflake, Google Analytics, Search Console, Google Ads, Meta Ads, HubSpot, Stripe, and more. OpenClaw can only reach the connections your organization has set up.

Does Sequel use a remote (HTTP) MCP server?

Yes. Sequel is a hosted MCP server at https://api.sequel.sh/mcp. In OpenClaw that's a remote server — use `transport: streamable-http` and pass your key in the `Authorization` header, rather than a local stdio command.

Can I limit which agents or tools use Sequel?

Yes. OpenClaw controls which agents see MCP tools through tool profiles, and you can narrow Sequel to specific tools with per-server tool filters (`toolFilter` include/exclude) — so a dedicated marketing analyst agent gets exactly the access it needs and nothing more.

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.
