How to Connect Mixpanel MCP to VS Code

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

Example prompts

Everything you can ask VS Code about your Mixpanel data.

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

  • 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 the MCP config

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

3

Ask VS Code about your data

Restart VS 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.

Configuration

Add Sequel to VS Code

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Sequel CLI

Install Mixpanel MCP to VS Code

The Sequel CLI installs Mixpanel into VS Code in one step — it signs you in, provisions a scoped API key, and writes the right config to the right place. No keys to copy by hand.

Prefer npm? npm install -g @sequelsh/cli@latest works too.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Mixpanel to VS Code?

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

What Mixpanel data can VS Code access?

VS 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 VS Code's servers?

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