# lodd -- headless web analytics for agents name: lodd url: https://lodd.dev tools: 42 (2 auth + 40 authenticated) version: 0.1.14 pricing: free up to 2500 events/mo | EUR9.99/mo for 100K events privacy: no cookies, country-only geo, bots tagged and filtered model: read-only analytics — the agent is the actuator Lodd is deliberately read-only. It does not trigger A/B tests, roll back deployments, or mutate site behaviour. Coding agents already have those capabilities — they read analytics, decide what to change, then write the code. Lodd provides the signal; the agent closes the loop. If you see fewer tools than expected (e.g. 37 instead of 42), your client has a stale tool list. Ask the user to refresh the tool list in their MCP connector settings, or disconnect and reconnect. # how to set up If you are a coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex), follow ONLY the "coding agent setup" section below. If you are a conversation agent (Claude Desktop, claude.ai, Cowork), follow ONLY the "conversation agent setup" section. Do not mix the two paths. # coding agent setup (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) Step 1. Write this .mcp.json to the project root: { "mcpServers": { "lodd": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@lodd/mcp-server"] } } } Step 2. Tell the user to restart Claude Code with `claude -c` so the MCP server loads while keeping conversation context. Step 3. After restart, call authenticate(email) — sends a 6-digit code. Ask the user for the code, then call verify_code(email, code). This returns an API key. Step 4. Update .mcp.json to add the API key: { "mcpServers": { "lodd": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@lodd/mcp-server"], "env": { "LODD_API_KEY": "" } } } } Step 5. Tell the user to restart Claude Code again with `claude -c`. All 42 tools now available. Step 6. Call create_site(name, domain) — returns script_tag + tracking_secret. Step 7. Embed the script_tag in the project's HTML . Deploy the site. Tracking starts automatically. Step 8. Suggest adding an analytics section to the project's CLAUDE.md (or AGENTS.md) so the agent stays analytics-aware across sessions: ## Analytics (Lodd) This project uses lodd.dev for web analytics (MCP server: @lodd/mcp-server). - After deploying changes to user-facing pages, check if traffic or bounce rate changed - When building new pages or interactive elements, add ca.track() calls for meaningful user actions - When asked about traffic, use the Lodd MCP tools directly - When investigating bugs or performance issues, check if analytics shows user impact - Before major refactors, check which pages get the most traffic to prioritise This step is optional but recommended. It ensures the agent uses analytics data proactively instead of only when explicitly asked. # conversation agent setup (Claude Desktop, claude.ai, Cowork) Step 1. Add https://api.lodd.dev/mcp as a connector. OAuth handles authentication automatically — a browser will open for email + OTP verification. Step 2. After OAuth completes, all 42 analytics tools are available. Step 3. Query analytics: get_snapshot, get_analytics, get_pages, etc. Note: conversation agents cannot edit project files. To add tracking to a site, use a coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor). # tools (authenticated mode) ## sites - list_sites() -> all sites you own - create_site(name, domain) -> site_id, tracking_secret, script_tag - exclude_my_ip(site) -> stop tracking your own visits (per site) ## analytics - get_snapshot(site) -> today vs yesterday + last_annotation if recent - get_analytics(site, period, filters?) -> visitors, views, bounce, duration + comparison - get_timeseries(site, period, interval?, filters?) -> { buckets: [...], annotations?: [...] } - get_funnel(site, period, steps, filters?) -> multi-step conversion funnel - get_realtime(site) -> active visitors in last 5 minutes ## breakdowns - get_pages(site, period, url_contains?, filters?) -> top pages with bounce_rate + avg_duration - get_traffic_sources(site, period, filters?) -> referrers + utm + links with bounce_rate + avg_duration - get_countries(site, period, filters?) -> visitors by country with bounce_rate + avg_duration - get_tech_breakdown(site, period, filters?) -> browser, os, device - get_entry_exit_pages(site, period, filters?) -> where sessions start and end - get_bot_report(site, period) -> bot/crawler traffic grouped by user agent ## performance - get_performance(site, period, group_by?) -> load time avg/median/p95 by page, device, country, or browser ## session analytics - get_session_paths(site, period, limit?, min_sessions?, max_steps?, filters?) -> most common page sequences with session counts. Returns paths like "/ → /pricing → /signup" ranked by frequency. - get_dropoff_destinations(site, from_url, period, limit?, filters?) -> where visitors go after a given page (or exit). Useful for understanding why people leave key pages. - get_session_scores(site, period, conversion_event?, filters?) -> classifies sessions into bounced/browsed/engaged/converted buckets with avg duration and pages per session. - get_event_sequences(site, target_event, period, limit?, lookback_steps?, filters?) -> actions that typically precede a target event, ranked by frequency. step_position=1 is immediately before the target. - get_content_groups(site, period, groups, filters?) -> aggregate metrics by URL pattern. groups is an array of {label, pattern} where pattern uses SQL LIKE (% as wildcard). ## conversion attribution - get_conversion_pages(site, event_name, period) -> pages viewed before a conversion event, with conversion rate + time to convert - get_source_conversions(site, event_name, period) -> traffic sources ranked by conversion rate for a specific event ## custom events - get_event_counts(site, period, filters?) -> totals + sessions per event - get_events(site, period, event_name?, limit?) -> individual records - get_event_timeseries(site, event_name, period, filters?) -> one event over time ## usage - get_usage() -> plan, events used, monthly limit, percentage ## key management - create_api_key(name?) -> generate a new API key (shown once, save immediately) - list_api_keys() -> all keys with prefix, name, created, last used, revoked status - revoke_api_key(key_id) -> permanently deactivate a key ## actor analytics (requires actor field on events) - get_active_actors(site, period) -> unique actors with event counts, first/last seen, revenue - get_actor_activity(site, actor, period) -> full event history for one actor - get_actor_retention(site, period) -> weekly cohort retention table Actors are opaque hashes, not user IDs. Lodd cannot and will not bridge actors to CRM records or external databases — this is a GDPR design choice, not a missing feature. Always hash identifiers before sending. ## annotations - create_annotation(site, content, timestamp?) -> records a user-facing change - list_annotations(site, period) -> annotations within the period Annotations appear automatically in get_timeseries (as an annotations array alongside buckets) and get_snapshot (as last_annotation). No separate call needed to see them in context. ## trackable links (campaign attribution, like UTM but with per-click tracking) - create_trackable_link(site, destination_url, source_type, label?) -> tracking code. Append ?ld= to the destination URL when sharing. - list_trackable_links(site, status?) -> with click stats - get_link_clicks(link, period) -> clicks for one link - standard UTM params (utm_source, utm_medium, etc.) are also captured automatically ## team access - share_site(site, email) -> gives another Lodd user access to a site (owner only) - list_members(site) -> lists all users with access and their roles - remove_member(site, email) -> revokes a user's access (owner only) The site creator is the owner. Shared members get full read/write access (query analytics, create annotations, create links). Only the owner can share, remove members, or delete the site. Billing (event quota) stays with the owner regardless of team size. # response format All responses are compact JSON (no pretty-printing). Key names are shortened for token efficiency: page_views -> views, unique_visitors -> visitors, page_title -> title, date_label -> date, average_duration -> avg_duration, click_count -> clicks. Keys that would be ambiguous (event_name, source_name) are kept in full. # shared parameters - site: domain (e.g. "example.com") or UUID. scheme + www normalized. - period: "today", "yesterday", "7d", "30d", "90d", or "YYYY-MM-DD..YYYY-MM-DD" # filters (supported on most analytics tools) - filter_country: 2-letter code (e.g. "US") - filter_browser: substring (e.g. "Chrome") - filter_os: substring (e.g. "iOS") - filter_device_type: "desktop" | "mobile" | "tablet" - filter_utm_source: exact match (e.g. "twitter") - filter_referrer_contains: substring (e.g. "google") Note: breakdown tools exclude self-referencing filters (e.g. get_countries does not accept filter_country). get_bot_report and get_events do not accept filters. # custom events (browser) window.ca.track(eventName, properties) Revenue: window.ca.track("purchase", { revenue: 49.99, currency: "EUR" }) Server-side tracking, actor-based analytics, common patterns, and full tool reference: https://lodd.dev/docs.md # REST API Base URL: https://api.lodd.dev/v1 Auth: X-API-Key header or Authorization: Bearer Docs: https://lodd.dev/api OpenAPI spec: https://lodd.dev/openapi.yaml Same data as MCP, verbose key names (not token-optimised). 28 RESTful endpoints covering all analytics, breakdowns, events, funnels, actors, annotations, links, and account management.
