Mixpanel MCP Connector
Overview
This skill enables Claude to interact with Mixpanel through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides a bridge between Claude's AI capabilities and Mixpanel's REST API, allowing natural language control of Mixpanel operations, intelligent automation, and AI-powered assistance for Mixpanel workflows.
When to Use This Skill
- Event analysis and trend identification via AI
- Funnel creation and conversion analysis
- Cohort definition and retention analysis
- Custom report generation
- User segmentation and behavioral analysis

Core Concepts
MCP Server Setup
The connector implements an MCP server that exposes Mixpanel operations as tools Claude can invoke. The server translates natural language intentions into REST API calls.
Key Endpoints/Interfaces
/api/2.0/events, /api/2.0/funnels, /api/2.0/retention, /api/2.0/segmentation, /api/2.0/jql
Implementation
import { McpServer } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js";
import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js";
import { z } from "zod";
const server = new McpServer({
name: "mixpanel-mcp-connector",
version: "1.0.0",
});
server.tool(
"list_resources",
"List and query Mixpanel resources with optional filters",
{
query: z.string().optional().describe("Search query or filter"),
limit: z.number().optional().describe("Max results to return"),
},
async ({ query, limit }) => {
const response = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/api/2.0/events`, {
headers: { "Authorization": `Bearer ${API_KEY}` },
});
const data = await response.json();
return {
: [{ : , : .(data, , ) }],
};
}
);
server.(
,
,
{
: z.().(),
: z.({}).().().(),
},
({ name, config }) => {
response = (, {
: ,
: {
: ,
: ,
},
: .({ name, ...config }),
});
data = response.();
{
: [{ : , : }],
};
}
);
server.(
,
,
{
: z.().(),
: z.().().(),
},
({ , timeframe }) => {
response = (, {
: { : },
});
data = response.();
{
: [{ : , : .(data, , ) }],
};
}
);
transport = ();
server.(transport);

Best Practices
- Authentication: Store API keys securely using environment variables; never hardcode credentials
- Rate Limiting: Implement request throttling to respect Mixpanel API rate limits
- Error Handling: Provide clear, actionable error messages for common failure scenarios
- Pagination: Handle paginated responses for large datasets efficiently
- Caching: Cache frequently accessed read-only data to reduce API calls
- Security: Validate all inputs before passing to the Mixpanel API; sanitize outputs
- Logging: Log all API interactions for debugging and audit purposes
Example Prompts
"Build a funnel from sign-up to first purchase and identify the biggest drop-off point with user segments"
Security Considerations
- All API credentials must be stored as environment variables
- Implement input validation and sanitization for all tool parameters
- Use HTTPS for all API communications
- Follow the principle of least privilege for API token permissions
- Audit log all write operations for compliance tracking
