As of 11 Oct 2026, Mixpanel gets an AI agent further: L3 · Does the work against L1 · Needs a person.
- Find: Docs for agents: llms.txt, an OpenAPI and an MCP server.

- Pay: Payment not reached.

Stopped at sign up: blocked. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
Needs a person before an agent can drive it: L1 · Needs a person. Our agent read llms.txt, Markdown pages, an OpenAPI spec, an AI catalog and an official OAuth MCP server headless, then stopped at signup: the web form's invisible reCAPTCHA rejected it after the email step with "reCAPTCHA verification failed." It never reached a key, a call or any work, through API, MCP or CLI. Paying needs a card entered in the web app's billing settings, and with no account our agent never tested cancelling; deleting an org is a support ticket handled once a month.

Gets in on its own: L3 · Does the work. Sign-up is a browser form with no CAPTCHA, but the first credential, a service account, only exists in the web UI, and so does the key for the project token. From there our agent ran ingestion, raw export, feature flags, experiments, Lexicon and boards headless through the official MCP server, with each task read back. Every analysis query returned a payment-required response on the free plan, and upgrading asked for a card in a checkout form. Deleting the organization is a web button, and the confirmation mail says data clears after a wait, so our agent could not confirm the account was gone before the drive ended.

A check of our network and browser: It judged where our agent connects from and its browser, not a person. An agent that works on its own from a data center doesn't get through unless the owner lets signed agents in. How agents in a person's own browser fare isn't measured yet. Where we drive from.
