Yeah. Uh so, let's say that I'm a product manager to understand the status of my funnel. So, I would go to Claude and I would ask what's the status? In the again, old world of a few months ago, uh I would get back the textual response. Let's say that it's PostHog. So, it reached out to the PostHog server, got back the textual response. It's factually correct, but it's useless. I mean, how do I even take that and understand quickly what's going on? I would have to read, which I don't want to do. Uh and it's pretty challenging. Uh but luckily, because both PostHog server and Claude as a host support MCP apps, I can just say, "Show me." And now, instead of getting that block of text, I can actually get something useful, uh which is this interactive um widget that you would get, you know, on the PostHog uh uh server. And when you have that, you can at a glance see what's going on. And as you can see, it's branded PostHog. So, you're actually getting the PostHog experience within ChatGPT or Claude, etc.
