Configure product analytics with event tracking, funnels, and session recording. PostHog is the canonical route; the product-analytics arena ranks the alternatives.

PostHog's public REST API (live OpenAPI spec, official MCP server) covers project creation and event/dashboard management. Initial instrumentation is a code change — a coding agent can make it, a human reviews the diff.
