Agent-native, cookieless website analytics delivered through MCP, so your coding agent measures deploys and reports results in chat.

Native MCP Support: Built on the open Model Context Protocol so Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf and Codex can query and configure analytics out of the box.
Autonomous Instrumentation: The agent adds tracking while writing features, needing only one HTML data attribute per button click and no extra JavaScript.
Ship & Measure: Every deploy is tagged automatically, then before-and-after metrics are compared so you can tell whether a change moved the needle.
Zero-Cookie Tracker: A ~1.5KB script with no cookies and no IP logging, so no cookie banner is required and tracking works the moment it is dropped in.
Drop-Off Funnels: Maps visitor journeys from landing page to checkout, pinpoints where users leak out, and suggests which step to fix next.
Anomaly Alerts: Traffic surges, viral social spikes and referrer anomalies are traced to their source and surfaced with context rather than raw numbers.
In-Chat Intelligence: Ask about visitors, top referrers and conversions inside your editor chat instead of opening a separate analytics tab.
Portfolio Overview: One account key covers every side project, letting you compare sites side by side or spin up tracking for a new app from chat.

Deploy Verification: Tag a release and have the agent compare traffic and conversion metrics before and after to confirm the change helped.
Launch Monitoring: Ask the agent how a Product Hunt or Hacker News launch is performing and get referrer-level attribution without opening a dashboard.
Funnel Debugging: Map a signup or checkout flow, find the step where visitors drop off, and get a concrete suggestion for what to fix.
Privacy-First Analytics: Replace cookie-based analytics on an EU-facing site with a cookieless tracker that avoids consent banners entirely.
Indie Portfolio Management: Track a dozen side projects under a single key and compare their traffic side by side from one chat session.
Agent-Driven Instrumentation: Let a coding agent add click tracking to new features as it writes them, so instrumentation never lags behind the code.
