Period overview

What it does

TL;DR for the period: headline metrics (pageviews, visitors, sessions, bounce rate, avg session duration) plus pageviews_change_pct vs the previous equivalent window, top page, top traffic source, bot share, and top 3 custom events. Designed so a single call answers 'how did <period> go?' without chaining other tools. Volume metrics (pageviews / visitors / sessions / bot_share) include AI-mediated human browsing (ai_user_action — Claude/ChatGPT fetching on a user's behalf); attribution metrics (top_source) count direct browser visits only because AI-mediated traffic loses original utm/referrer tags. See traffic_class_breakdown for the per-class split.

Example prompts

Ask Claude or any MCP client connected to mcp-analytics things like:

"How did mysite.com do last week?"
"Give me a summary for example.com, last 30 days."
"Quick overview for my main site, past 24 hours."

Claude picks get_overview automatically. A real example response (formatted by Claude from the structured tool output):

67,348 pageviews (↑ 8% week-over-week), 22,104 unique visitors,
13,440 sessions. Bounce rate 41%. Average session duration 2m 14s.

Top page: /pricing (4,232 views).
Top traffic source: hacker news (1,847 visits, a thread from
last Wednesday is driving most of it).
Bot share: 11% (mostly Googlebot and GPTBot).
Top 3 custom events: signup_started (412), tracking_added (87),
account_created (74).

The tool returns a single object with all the headline metrics plus pageviews_change_pct versus the previous equivalent period. Designed so one tool call answers the "how did X go?" question without chaining further calls.

Volume metrics here (pageviews, visitors, sessions, bot_share) include AI-mediated human browsing (the ai_user_action traffic class: Claude or ChatGPT fetching a page on a user's behalf). Attribution metrics (the top_source field) count direct browser visits only, because AI-mediated traffic loses original UTM and referrer tags. See traffic_class_breakdown for the per-class split.

How to call it directly
