What you can do with Simple Analytics in Claude and ChatGPT
For website owners and marketers who track traffic with Simple Analytics.

Gets total pageviews, unique visitors and median time on page for a website and date range, optionally for one page, country, referrer or device.
Show traffic over time
Gets pageviews and visitors per hour, day, week, month or year for a date range, so you can describe a trend.
Find top pages, referrers, countries or devices
Gets the top values of one dimension, such as pages, referrers, countries, UTM campaigns, browsers or operating systems, with pageviews and visitors.
Count how often custom events happened
Counts custom events on a website in a date range, for the event names you give or for all events.
Export raw page views or events
Exports raw, unsampled page views or events for a date range with only the fields you ask for, up to a row limit.
How do I connect Simple Analytics?
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.

Claude Code
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Cursor
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"simple-analytics": {
"url": "https://simple-analytics.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} VS Code
Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"simple-analytics": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://simple-analytics.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Codex
Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Other clients
Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.
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.
Pricing
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper user | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per user | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this Simple Analytics server only. Ask your AI to run simpleanalytics_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with simpleanalytics_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with simpleanalytics_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

Show all 10 tools (the AI picks them for you)
Read only · 6
- List websites
simpleanalytics_list_websitesList the websites of the Simple Analytics account (hostnames to use in the other tools). Good first call. - Get traffic summary
simpleanalytics_get_statsAggregated 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. - Get traffic over time
simpleanalytics_get_timeseriesPageviews 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. - Get top pages, referrers, countries or devices
simpleanalytics_get_breakdownTop 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. - Get event counts
simpleanalytics_get_eventsHow often custom events happened on one website in a date range. Pass event names, or leave names out for all events (up to 1000). - Export raw data points
simpleanalytics_export_datapointsRaw, 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.
Your usefulapi plan · 4
- Usage status (free-tier meter)
simpleanalytics_usage_statusReport the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter. - Request a missing feature
simpleanalytics_request_featureTell 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. - Upgrade to Pro or Pro+
simpleanalytics_upgradeGet a paid plan for Simple Analytics (the free tier caps monthly usage). Pro: 10,000 tool calls a month, for normal use — plan "monthly" ($9/month) or "yearly" ($90/year, 2 months free). Pro+: 100,000 tool calls a month, for automations and heavy use — plan "plus" ($39/month) or "plus_yearly" ($390/year). Without a plan it returns both Pro and Pro+, each with a payment link, for the user to choose; with a plan, one link. An existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place: call without confirm first, as the reply states the exact charge for this account (the price difference for the rest of the period, or in a free Pro trial the full Pro+ price, as the trial ends); then call with confirm: true. Cancel any time: the plan then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. A link opens Stripe Checkout in the browser; after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter. - Cancel the Pro subscription
simpleanalytics_cancel_subscriptionCancel the caller's Simple Analytics Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues 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.
FAQ
What can I do with Simple Analytics in Claude or ChatGPT?
Check visitors and pageviews for a period. Show traffic over time. Find top pages, referrers, countries or devices. Count how often custom events happened. Export raw page views or events. See what you can do for the details.
Is this an official Simple Analytics product?
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.
Can I connect Simple Analytics to Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.
What do I need to connect?
The login page asks for your Simple Analytics API key and Simple Analytics user id. See Before you connect for where to find them.
Do I put my Simple Analytics key or an Authorization header in the client config?
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.
How do you keep my Simple Analytics credentials?
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.
Can the AI change my Simple Analytics data?
All 6 Simple Analytics tools are marked read-only.
What does it cost?
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Simple Analytics server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run simpleanalytics_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
How do I subscribe or cancel?
Ask the AI to run simpleanalytics_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run simpleanalytics_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
What if a Simple Analytics tool that I need is missing?
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.
Which AI clients can I use?
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, 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.
