Create a cohort

Create a cohort

Creates a saved cohort of users from a cohort definition.

Note: Over MCP, read the structure of a cohort definition with Describe-Cohort-Schema before creating one.

Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

MCP (official, remote)

Add this server to your agent's MCP settings, then sign in when asked.

{ "mcpServers": { "mixpanel": { "url": "https://mcp.mixpanel.com/mcp" } } }

Call the MCP tool Create-Cohort.

Server URL: https://mcp.mixpanel.com/mcp

Note: An organization admin enables MCP in Settings > Org > Overview first. EU and India projects use https://mcp-eu.mixpanel.com/mcp and https://mcp-in.mixpanel.com/mcp.

CLI (official)

Install the command and sign in with it, then confirm it runs.

pip install mixpanel-headless
mp --version

Run mp cohorts create.

Before anything else, confirm access with the cheapest read-only call, like a list or a search. Never send or change anything to test access.

Rules

• Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data, and say how many records it touches. One approval covers a batch the user has seen.
• Never print API keys.
