}What you can ask
BetterMeter exposes 30+ MCP tools that Claude Desktop can call. You don't need to remember tool names — just describe what you want in natural language and Claude picks the right tool automatically.
- 01 "How's my traffic this week compared to last week?"
- 02 "Which pages get the most AI-referred traffic?"
- 03 "Show me the top 10 countries by visitor count."
- 04 "What bots crawled my site today?"
- 05 "Give me a weekly traffic summary for the past month."
- 06 "Which MCP tools on my server have the highest error rate?"
How it works under the hood
Claude Desktop launches the BetterMeter CLI as a local MCP server process. When you ask a question, Claude inspects the available tools, picks one (like bettermeter_stats or bettermeter_pages), calls it with the right parameters, and formats the response conversationally. The data stays between you and the BetterMeter API — nothing is sent to Anthropic's servers beyond your conversation.
Team workflows
Share the MCP config with your team so everyone has analytics access from Claude Desktop. Product managers can check conversion metrics. Engineers can monitor post-deploy traffic spikes. Marketers can ask about campaign performance. No one needs a BetterMeter login to get answers — the API key scopes access to your sites.
