What is the GoatCounter MCP Server?
Connect your GoatCounter account to any AI agent to monitor your web traffic without compromising user privacy. This MCP server allows you to query detailed statistics, manage site configurations, and handle data exports through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Traffic Insights — Retrieve pageview counts, total hits, and referral statistics for specific paths.
- Visitor Analytics — Break down stats by categories such as browsers, operating systems, locations, and languages.
- Data Portability — Initiate, monitor, and download full CSV/JSON data exports for external analysis.
- Site Management — List all your registered sites, create new ones, or update existing site configurations.
- Custom Event Tracking — Send hits or events directly from your backend or middleware to your GoatCounter dashboard.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your GoatCounter API Key and your instance URL
- Start analyzing your web traffic from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?

Frequently asked questions
Can I see which browsers my visitors are using?
Yes. Use the get_stats_page tool with the 'browsers' category to see a breakdown of visitor browser statistics for your chosen date range.
How do I export all my analytics data for backup?
You can start a background export using start_export. Once processed, use get_export to check the status and download_export to retrieve the file.
Is it possible to track custom events from my server code?
Absolutely. The count_hits tool allows you to send pageviews or custom events directly to GoatCounter from any backend or middleware.
How does Pydantic AI discover MCP tools?
Create an MCPServerHTTP instance with the server URL. Pydantic AI connects, discovers all tools, and generates typed Python interfaces automatically.
Does Pydantic AI validate MCP tool responses?
Yes. When you define result types as Pydantic models, every tool response is validated against the schema. Invalid data raises a clear error instead of silently corrupting your pipeline.
Can I switch LLM providers without changing MCP code?
Absolutely. Pydantic AI abstracts the model layer. your GoatCounter MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
