Read Simple Analytics stats: pageviews, visitors, pages, referrers, events and data exports. Hosted by usefulapi — connect from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"simple-analytics": {
"url": "https://simple-analytics.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"simple-analytics": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://simple-analytics.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Other MCP clients (Windsurf, Cline, Zed and more): add the URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser. Do not add an Authorization header: see Before you connect.
The login page asks for your Simple Analytics API key and Simple Analytics user id.
Find both in Simple Analytics → Account settings: the key starts with sa_api_key_, the user id with sa_user_id_. They are used only to call the Simple Analytics API on your behalf; they are never shown to anyone. Your plan must include API access.
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Simple Analytics API key and Simple Analytics user id. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
simpleanalytics_list_websites | read | List websites List the websites of the Simple Analytics account (hostnames to use in the other tools). Good first call. Admin API: GET /api/websites. |
simpleanalytics_get_stats | read | Get traffic summary Aggregated traffic for one website and date range: total pageviews, unique visitors and the median seconds on page. Optional filters narrow it to a page, country, referrer, UTM value, browser, OS, device or metadata value. Stats API: GET /<hostname>.json. |
simpleanalytics_get_timeseries | read | Get traffic over time Pageviews and visitors per hour, day, week, month or year for one website and date range (time series for charts and trends). Optional filters as in simpleanalytics_get_stats. Stats API: GET /<hostname>.json?fields=histogram. |
simpleanalytics_get_breakdown | read | Get top pages, referrers, countries or devices Top values of one dimension for one website and date range, each with pageviews and visitors: pages, countries, referrers, UTM sources/mediums/campaigns/contents/terms, browsers, operating systems or device types. Optional filters as in simpleanalytics_get_stats. Stats API: GET /<hostname>.json?fields=<dimension>. |
simpleanalytics_get_events | read | Get event counts How often custom events happened on one website in a date range. Pass event names, or leave names out for all events (up to 1000). Stats API: GET /<hostname>.json?events=... |
simpleanalytics_export_datapoints | read | Export raw data points Raw, unsampled page views or events of one website for a date range, as rows with only the fields asked for. The reply is capped at max_rows (default 100, max 1000) rows and 2 MB; "truncated" says more exist, so narrow the range. Rows are cut to about 40 000 characters of JSON. Dates: YYYY-MM-DD, or YYYY-MM-DDTHH for one hour (start and end the same day). Robots are left out unless asked. Needs the user id too. Export API: GET /api/export/datapoints. |
simpleanalytics_usage_status | Usage status (free-tier meter) Report the caller's current free-tier usage this month: calls used, monthly limit, remaining, and whether the cap is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter. | |
simpleanalytics_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Simple Analytics tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter. | |
simpleanalytics_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited) Subscribe to the Pro plan for UNLIMITED Simple Analytics tool calls (the free tier caps monthly usage). Choose monthly ($9/month) or yearly ($90/year — 2 months free) billing. Returns a Stripe Checkout link to open in your browser; after payment your account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter. | |
simpleanalytics_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's Simple Analytics Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; unlimited calls continue until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run simpleanalytics_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter. |
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 100 tool calls / month |
| Proper user | $9/mo · $90/yr | Unlimited |
Pro covers this Simple Analytics server only. Subscribe with simpleanalytics_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with simpleanalytics_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running simpleanalytics_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Simple Analytics. The server calls the Simple Analytics API with your own Simple Analytics access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
The login page asks for your Simple Analytics API key and Simple Analytics user id. See Before you connect for where to find them.
No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Simple Analytics API key and Simple Analytics user id. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Simple Analytics API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Simple Analytics.
All 6 Simple Analytics tools are marked read-only.
The Free plan gives 100 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with unlimited tool calls, for this Simple Analytics server only. Run simpleanalytics_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run simpleanalytics_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run simpleanalytics_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with simpleanalytics_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
