Plausible Analytics for AI agents

Plausible Analytics is a privacy-focused web analytics platform offering simple, GDPR-compliant website statistics. Site owners use it as a lightweight alternative to Google Analytics. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Plausible Analytics connects.

Users add their Plausible Analytics api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same Plausible Analytics connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Plausible Analytics and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Plausible Analytics with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Plausible Analytics to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Plausible Analytics actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Plausible Analytics?

Users add their Plausible Analytics api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which Plausible Analytics actions can my agent take?

13 in total: 12 read, 1 write and 0 destructive, such as “record Event”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I make my agent read-only in Plausible Analytics?

Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the Plausible Analytics policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.

Q05

Can my own backend call Plausible Analytics too?

Yes. The same Plausible Analytics connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
