## Description
Track and query EzStat metrics from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP agent. StatHat-compatible.

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **track_metric** — Record a metric point your app "produced" — counter (+N, default +1) or gauge (e.g. 42.5 ms).
- **ask_ezstat** — Ask a natural-language question about your metrics (the agent-read path).
- **read_stat** — Structured read of a stat: latest value + series + summary (count/min/max/avg/sum) for a window.
- **list_stats** — List the account's metrics (names + types + description).
- **create_alert** — Create a webhook alert on a stat (threshold / %-change / heartbeat / sustained).
- **list_alerts** — List the account's alerts (id, stat, condition, channel, enabled, last fire).
- **delete_alert** — Delete an alert by id.

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Install path detected from listing signals. Uses `npx` (confidence: high):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "ezstat-mcp-server": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","@smithery/cli"]
  }
}
```

## Documentation & README

# EzStat MCP Server

A standalone [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server for
[EzStat](https://ezstat.dev). Let Claude / Cursor / any MCP-compatible agent **push and read your
metrics natively** — no copy-paste, no dashboard hop. This is the product behind the
"metrics your agents write and read themselves" positioning: every agent that touches your
code can also touch your observability.

The server speaks **stdio** (the standard transport for local agent runners) and — as a
hosted endpoint at **`https://mcp.ezstat.dev`** — **streamable HTTP**, exposing the same
seven focused tools. Each tool description is written for an agent audience so the model
knows when to call it.

## Hosted endpoint — zero install

Agents can connect to the hosted streamable-HTTP endpoint with nothing but an EzStat API
key — no npm install, no local process:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ezstat": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.ezstat.dev",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ezkey_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

- **Multi-tenant**: every request carries *your* key as `Authorization: Bearer <ezkey>`;
  the server holds no key of its own and each connection only ever sees its own account.
- **Discovery is free**: `initialize` and `tools/list` work without a key, so clients and
  registry inspectors can introspect the tool surface before you configure anything.
- **Tool calls require the key**: a call without one (or with an invalid one) returns a
  clean in-band MCP tool error telling the agent what to send — never a hang or a crash.
- **Stateless**: no sessions are issued or required; each POST is self-contained.

This hosted endpoint also satisfies the requirements for hosted/remote listings on MCP
registries (e.g. Smithery's hosted-server path) — see `server.json`'s `remotes` entry.

The stdio transport below remains fully supported and is still the right choice when you
want the server running locally under your own runner.

## Install (Claude Desktop / Claude Code / Cursor)

### One-line install (npm/pnpm)

```bash
# pnpm
pnpm add -g ezstat-mcp-server

# npm
npm install -g ezstat-mcp-server
```

### Configure the MCP client

**Claude Desktop** (`~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` on macOS/Linux,
`%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` on Windows):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ezstat": {
      "command": "ezstat-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "EZSTAT_API_KEY": "ezkey_your_api_key_here"

Or visit <https://smithery.ai/server/ezstat-mcp-server> and click **Install**.

## About EzStat

[EzStat](https://ezstat.dev) is a dead-simple hosted metrics service: **one HTTP POST in,
a live chart out**. No SDK, no collector daemon, no YAML, no dashboard builder. Counters
and value/gauge stats auto-create on first POST; charts, share/embed, and CSV/JSON export
are built in, and **Ask-Your-Data** (live) answers plain-English questions from your own
metrics, with every number verified against the retrieved data before it reaches you.

Flat monthly pricing by tracked stats — **$19 / $49 / $149** — plus a card-gated free tier
(no charge; see your data live before paying). Your data is yours: export any time, cancel
any time. Anomaly detection and metric correlations are live. Features that are not shipped yet (alerts, weekly digest) are
marked *coming soon* on the site rather than sold — what you see live is what works.

### Coming from StatHat?

If your `api.stathat.com` calls stopped and your dashboards went dark: EzStat speaks
**StatHat's wire format** — the same `/ez`, `/c`, `/v` endpoints, same params, same
response. The migration is usually one line:

```bash
# before
curl -X POST https://api.stathat.com/ez -d "stat=messages sent" -d "ezkey=KEY" -d "count=1"
# after — change the host, use your EzStat key; stats auto-create
curl -X POST https://api.ezstat.dev/ez -d "stat=messages sent" -d "ezkey=EZSTAT_KEY" -d "count=1"
```

Most StatHat client libraries take a base-URL override in one line. Saved a StatHat
CSV/JSON export? The importer recreates your stats and backfills history (8 MB / 500k
points per file). Full guide: [docs/stathat-migration.md](https://github.com/clira-dev/ezstat-mcp-server/blob/HEAD/docs/stathat-migration.md) ·
[ezstat.dev/migrate/stathat](https://ezstat.dev/migrate/stathat) — including the migrator
deal: free tier to see it live first, a 12-month price-lock, and white-glove import for
the first 25 migrations.

### Why agent-native metrics

Your coding agent deploys, tests, and ships — it should also be the one tracking and
reading the numbers. That's this server: metrics your agents write and read themselves.
The reasoning: [docs/agent-native-metrics.md](https://github.com/clira-dev/ezstat-mcp-server/blob/HEAD/docs/agent-native-metrics.md) · comparison
with StatHat/StatFlow/Datadog: [ezstat.dev/vs](https://ezstat.dev/vs).

A starter `.env.example` is shipped.

## How it talks to EzStat

The tools map to real EzStat API routes (all auth by EzStat API key):

| Tool           | Method | Path                       | Auth                                  |
| -------------- | ------ | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `track_metric` | POST   | `/api/ez`                  | `ezkey` in JSON body                  |
| `ask_ezstat`   | POST   | `/api/v1/query`            | `Authorization: Bearer <ezkey>`       |
| `read_stat`    | GET    | `/api/v1/stats/:name`      | `Authorization: Bearer <ezkey>`       |
| `list_stats`   | GET    | `/api/v1/stats`            | `Authorization: Bearer <ezkey>`       |
| `create_alert` | POST   | `/api/v1/alerts`           | `Authorization: Bearer <ezkey>`       |
| `list_alerts`  | GET    | `/api/v1/alerts`           | `Authorization: Bearer <ezkey>`       |
| `delete_alert` | DELETE | `/api/v1/alerts/:id`       | `Authorization: Bearer <ezkey>`       |

- `track_metric` calls the StatHat-compatible EZ ingest (`{"ezkey","stat","count"?,"value"?,"t"?}`).
  Counter semantics: omit both `count` and `value` to record `count=1` (counter +1).
- `ask_ezstat` calls Ask-Your-Data (`{"query":"..."}` → `{answer, data, intent, ...}`).
  This is the agent read path — count it as an agent read for usage tracking.
- `read_stat` returns the stat's recent series + summary; pass `from`/`to` (Unix seconds) to
  bound the window. `resolution` rolls up to `minute`/`hour`/`day`.
- `list_stats` returns the account's stats; pass `type` to filter to `counter` or `value`.

## Build & run locally

```bash
pnpm install
pnpm build       # tsc → dist/
pnpm start       # node dist/index.js  (stdio MCP server)
pnpm test        # vitest run  — fully mocked network, no real HTTP
pnpm dev         # tsx watch src/index.ts
```

`pnpm start` requires `EZSTAT_API_KEY` to be set; the server exits with a clear error
otherwise (and never logs the key).

## Security

- The API key is read **only** from `EZSTAT_API_KEY` — never hardcoded, never printed.
- All error messages are scrubbed: the API key is never included in tool results.
- HTTP errors carry a stable machine-readable `code` (`unauthorized`, `rate_limited`,
  `timeout`, `not_found`, `server_error`, ...) and a human-readable `message` safe to relay.
- Tests mock the network — no real HTTP leaves the test process.

## Registry metadata

For Smithery / mcp.so / Glama listings:

- **Name**: `ezstat-mcp-server`
- **Display name**: EzStat
- **Description**: Push and read metrics with EzStat from any AI agent. Track counters and
  values, then ask natural-language questions over your production telemetry.
- **Homepage**: <https://ezstat.dev>
- **Version**: `0.8.0`
- **Transport**: `stdio` (local) + `streamable-http` (hosted at `https://mcp.ezstat.dev`)
