building-a-dashboard

By PostHog. Updated July 19, 2026. Categories: Productivity Tools.

Build a new dashboard, or update an existing one, from a set of insights — the same job the in-app assistant does with its upsert-dashboard tool, but over MCP. Use when a user asks to create a dashboard, put several metrics/charts together on one page, assemble a dashboard for a topic (product analytics, retention, revenue, activation, etc.), or add/remove/replace insights on a dashboard they already have. Covers deciding create vs update, reusing existing insights vs creating new ones, and using PostHog's vetted dashboard templates as reference for what a strong dashboard on a topic looks like.
