Run custom queries through the Piwik PRO MCP Server

The `query_piwik_analytics` tool lets Claude construct and execute JSON payloads against your tracking data. You ask for a breakdown of page views by region over the last week. The AI formats the request, hits the endpoint, and returns the raw metrics right in the chat. You avoid navigating a complex reporting UI entirely. Claude pulls the exact data you requested, letting you immediately ask follow-up questions about user behavior or conversion drops based on those real numbers.

Audit your tracking goals instantly

Using `list_piwik_goals`, Claude Desktop checks exactly what conversion events are active for any specific app. You get the actual configuration data, not a summary. If marketing complains about missing signups, you can verify the goal setup in seconds. Combine this with `list_piwik_dashboards` to see how those goals map to your existing reporting structure. The AI reads the dashboard metadata and tells you exactly where that data lives inside your account.

Map your entire web property infrastructure

Claude maps out your tracking footprint using `list_piwik_apps` and `list_piwik_sites`. You get a complete inventory of every domain and environment currently sending data to your instance. Need to know who has access to these properties? The `list_piwik_users` tool pulls the current account roster. You can review permissions and spot unauthorized access directly from the desktop interface.

Common questions about Piwik PRO MCP in Claude Desktop

Open your `claude_desktop_config.json` file from the developer settings. Add the server details under the `mcpServers` key and restart the application. You can also use the Extensions UI for a one-click install.

Yes. The AI generates the required JSON body for the analytics engine. You just ask for the metrics in plain English, and it handles the syntax.

It works perfectly if you use a remote server URL. Go to Settings, open Integrations, and add a custom connector with your hosted endpoint.

The AI reads the error response from the analytics engine. It will typically adjust the JSON payload and retry the request automatically.

The connection only reads the metrics and user lists you explicitly request through the API. The desktop client runs locally, meaning your website traffic numbers and account rosters never pass through third-party middleware.
