Automated traffic analysis for Claude Code

Use this MCP server to feed your CI/CD pipelines with real-time stats. Claude Code uses `get_top_referrers` to verify traffic quality during high-load events. It flags anomalies by running frequent `get_live_last_visits` checks. This gives you a programmatic way to monitor site health without a browser.

Claude Code executes `get_goals` to check campaign performance against your deployment logs. It provides a direct view into your site's success metrics. It can trigger alerts if goal completions fall outside your expected range. This keeps your SRE team informed without requiring manual dashboard checks.
