Analytics for VS Code

VS Code is the most popular editor in the world, and its built-in MCP support means you can connect BetterMeter's MCP server directly into your development environment. Query traffic data through the chat panel and check analytics without opening a browser.

MCP setup for VS Code

VS Code supports MCP servers through its built-in chat and agent features. Add BetterMeter to your workspace or user settings and the analytics tools become available in any chat panel — whether you're using Copilot, a third-party extension, or VS Code's native chat.

{
  "servers": {
    "bettermeter": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@bettermeter/cli@latest", "mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BETTERMETER_API_KEY": "bm_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

What you get via MCP

• 01 Chat queries — Ask about traffic, top pages, referrers in any chat panel
• 02 Agent mode — Copilot agent mode can call BetterMeter tools as part of multi-step tasks
• 03 Any AI chat — Works with Copilot, Continue, Cline, or any extension that supports MCP
• 04 Multi-root workspaces — Different sites per workspace folder

Lightweight by design

The MCP server runs as a separate process and only activates when you interact with it. No background polling, no telemetry, no impact on editor performance. VS Code stays fast.
