Category: Analytics/Attribution

Product analytics with an MCP server and an EU endpoint.

Mixpanel analyses what people do inside a product or site, covering funnels, retention, cohorts, user paths and segment comparison, built so a marketer can ask a question without writing SQL. It has expanded into session replay, experiments and feature flags. Its MCP server reached general availability in March 2026 with OAuth and, importantly for UK buyers, a dedicated EU endpoint alongside the US one, rate limited to around six hundred requests an hour per user. It is on by default for newer free and growth accounts, with administrators needing to enable it on older ones. Pricing starts free and scales by event volume on a published ladder.

Our verdict

The most approachable serious product analytics tool, and that matters because the alternative is usually a data team queue. Funnels and retention curves are genuinely usable by a marketer, and the free tier is enough to answer real questions. The MCP server having a dedicated EU endpoint is the detail worth knowing: very few analytics vendors offer regional MCP, and it means you can query behaviour from Claude without the data leaving Europe. Two cost points. The growth tier starting at zero is misleading, because cost scales steeply with event volume and is genuinely hard to forecast before you are instrumented, so expect the number to move. And EU residency is a project-creation choice you cannot change afterwards, so pick it at the start or you are stuck. The six hundred requests an hour MCP cap constrains heavy agent use.

Best for: Product-led and ecommerce teams who need to understand in-product behaviour rather than just acquisition.
