DevDome Analytics ships a public Stats API and an MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client can answer questions like "how many real people visited yesterday", "which AI crawlers hit the site this week" or "top referrers for the last 30 days" straight from your data.
- MCP endpoint:

- Real-time analytics. Visitors, live visitors, pageviews, sessions, top pages, traffic sources and referrers, countries, devices, browsers, outbound link clicks.
- Human, bot and AI crawler split. Known bots and AI crawlers are detected and reported separately, so automated traffic never inflates your visitor numbers. AI referral visits are tracked too.
- Cookieless and GDPR-friendly. No cookies, no personal data stored, Do Not Track honoured, admins excluded.
- Lightweight. One small tracker, no analytics tables in your WordPress database.
- Dashboard. Key numbers inside wp-admin, full reports on the DevDome dashboard from 24 hours to 36 months.
- Stats API and MCP server for your own tools and AI assistants.
