How it works
Three steps to get started

In your Sequel dashboard, go to Connections and add PostHog. Sequel handles authentication and schema discovery automatically.
Add the MCP config
Copy the Sequel MCP configuration into OpenClaw's settings file (shown below). Swap in your API key from Settings → API Keys.
Ask OpenClaw about your data
Restart OpenClaw and start asking questions. "How many unique users triggered $pageview yesterday, by country?" — and get a real answer backed by live PostHog data.
Configuration
Add Sequel to OpenClaw
Place this in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json and replace sql_your_api_key with a key from Settings → API Keys.

Frequently asked questions
How do I connect PostHog to OpenClaw?
You need two things: (1) connect PostHog 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 PostHog data directly.
What PostHog data can OpenClaw access?
OpenClaw can access any data available through your PostHog 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 PostHog 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 PostHog and generate an API key. Sign up free at sequel.sh — no credit card required. Then create a connection to PostHog and generate an API key from Settings → API Keys.
Can I connect multiple PostHog accounts?
Yes. Sequel supports multiple connections of the same type. If you have multiple PostHog accounts or properties, add each as a separate connection in Sequel. OpenClaw will be able to query all of them.
