Analytics for Raycast
Raycast is the fastest way to do anything on a Mac. With BetterMeter connected via MCP, your analytics are one hotkey away. Open Raycast, type "visitors", and see your live traffic in under a second. No browser, no dashboard, no login.
Connect via MCP
Open Raycast Settings, go to the AI section, and add BetterMeter as an MCP server. Enter your API key in the configuration. That's it — Raycast AI can now call all BetterMeter tools natively.
Commands
The extension provides focused commands that each do one thing fast. Assign hotkeys to the ones you use most.
- 01 Live Visitors — Current active visitors with page breakdown
- 02 Today's Stats — Visitors, pageviews, bounce rate, top referrers
- 03 Top Pages — Most visited pages for any time period
- 04 Traffic Sources — Referrers, UTM campaigns, AI traffic breakdown
- 05 AI Traffic — Visits from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others
- 06 Ask AI — Natural language query via Raycast AI + BetterMeter MCP
Speed is the feature
Dashboard logins take 5-10 seconds. Raycast takes under 1 second. For the quick checks you do dozens of times a day — "are we getting traffic?", "did that post go viral?", "any bots crawling us?" — the speed difference compounds into hours saved per month.
Raycast AI integration
Raycast has built-in AI that supports MCP. Connect BetterMeter as an MCP server and ask complex analytics questions in Raycast's AI chat. "Compare this week's traffic to last week's and highlight the biggest changes" — Raycast AI calls the right BetterMeter tools and synthesizes the answer.
