On 4 November its robots.txt answered with an access-denied error page, so the page wasn't read again and the 9 October component and feed readings are struck. No 90-day incident record could be read then or now (5). No API rate limit numbers were found. The terms reserve suspension for excessively frequent requests, and `API.getBulkRequest` is capped at 50 URLs for anonymous callers (3 of 15). No 429 or retry guidance and no idempotency keys were found (0). No SLA for Cloud was found, and the terms supply the service as is (0). The Reporting API and MCP plugin 5.1.1 are stable releases (10).\n- Userpilot (82): Graded on the hosted service with the hosted lines. Better Stack status page at status.userpilot.io with components for ingestion in three regions, the SDKs, the web application APIs and the website (20). From August to November 2026 the page shows only scheduled maintenance windows of two to four hours, with no incidents; the MCP server isn't a component (30). 600 requests a minute per token for the real-time APIs, but no numbers for MCP or export (12 of 15). 429 documented with exponential backoff guidance; no Retry-After or idempotency guidance (10 of 15). The SLA is a custom Enterprise contract term, not published (0). The MCP server is 1.0.0 in the registry with no beta label (10). 20+30+12+10+0+10 = 82.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Matomo +18\n\n- Matomo (78): The MCP server has 19 tools, 12 of them visible by default (15), plus 6 because the seven raw API tools stay hidden until an administrator allows them by read, create, update or delete class (21). `filter_limit`, `filter_offset`, sorting, pattern filters, `showColumns` and segments on the API, and cursors with a 250-row cap on the MCP report tool (20). Errors are HTTP codes with a message and an optional integer code, with no code catalogue. The MCP server separates schema failures (-32602) from tool result errors that name the arguments involved (14). Every MCP tool carries readOnlyHint, destructiveHint and idempotentHint. API writes have no idempotency keys and the OpenAPI descriptions declare delete methods as GET (13). Report calls need only `idSite`, `period` and `date`. The official clients for JavaScript, PHP and Java cover tracking, not the Reporting API (10).\n- Userpilot (60): The tool count isn't published; the docs say the assistant can search hundreds of extra read-only operations on demand, which reads as dynamic loading. Without the list we give the middle band (15 of 25). Export jobs filter by date range, users, events and segments, and job lists paginate (14 of 20). A documented error reference (13 of 20). No deletes or admin through MCP by design; annotations weren't readable and no idempotency keys were found (10 of 20). The HTTP APIs have no official server-side SDK; client SDKs for web and six mobile frameworks (8 of 15). 15+14+13+10+8 = 60.\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Matomo +15\n\n- Matomo (74): The core and the MCP plugin are GPL v3 or later. Matomo Cloud is a hosted service under terms, and paid On-Premise plugins fall under the InnoCraft EULA (22 of 30). The Cloud terms, DPA and privacy policy agree. Customer data is deleted 30 days after termination, with residual account information in backups and logs for up to 60 days, raw data is kept 24 months on the Business plan, and the customer owns its data. The privacy policy gives no period for account data (25). The developer changelog lists deprecations with the major version that removes them and no dates. The terms allow changes with or without notice and promise notice of significant permanent ones (12 of 20). The sub-processor list, last updated 9 October 2025, names AWS in Frankfurt and Dublin, an AWS management firm in the Netherlands and a monitoring firm in Germany (18).\n- Userpilot (59): A closed service with terms dated 23 April 2024 (15 of 30). The privacy policy of 11 March 2025 names a DPO and two sub-processors (AWS and Cloudflare), while the security page names AWS, Google Cloud and Stripe. The DPA is on request and no customer-data retention period is stated (14 of 30). No deprecation policy or dated API notices found (3 of 20). Sub-processors are named with addresses but not data locations, though an EU ingestion endpoint exists (10 of 20). 15+14+3+10 = 42.\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Matomo +9\n\n- Matomo (71): OAuth 2.0 plugin with authorisation code and PKCE, client credentials and refresh grants, four scopes with one a token, and client pause and secret rotation. `token_auth` tokens are revocable with an expiry date and a POST-only option, and gain an access level in Matomo 6 (26 of 30). Less 10 because the API docs present `token_auth` as a URL parameter (16). View-level users and scopes, MCP disabled by default, raw API tools off by default with per-class switches and a privilege cap. No confirmation step in the server (16 of 20). Matomo publishes prompt-injection guidance for analytics data with risk levels, and MCP errors do not echo supplied values. No filtering of tool output was found (11 of 15). Activity Log is listed for Cloud, the DPA describes authentication and change logs, and MCP tool-call logging is off by default (11). HackerOne bounty up to $13,000, a disclosure policy, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification stated, security fixes noted in release notes. No security.txt (17).\n- Userpilot (62): The MCP server uses OAuth with PKCE, dynamic client registration, revocation, separate read and write scopes and the user's own role. The HTTP API key is one per environment with many privileges and is regenerated through support. Averaged over both surfaces (22 of 30). Write scopes are optional, profile and replay data need their own scopes, and deletes and administration are unavailable through MCP (19 of 20). Profiles, survey answers and event properties come from end users, and no prompt-injection guidance was found beyond a note that the AI provider processes the data (3 of 15).

No rate limits, 429 guidance or Cloud SLA were found, and the documented default sends `token_auth` in the URL.\n\n**Userpilot.** Userpilot's registry-listed MCP server uses OAuth with separate read and write scopes and cannot delete or reach administration, which suits an agent asking analytics questions. Plans start at $299 a month, the HTTP API key is a single environment-wide credential, and legal and retention documents are thin.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Matomo\n\n1. Send the token as `Authorization: Bearer` or in a POST body, never in the URL. Tokens set to secure requests only are ignored in GET query strings.\n2. Pass `format=json`, `filter_limit` and `showColumns` on report calls. The default returns the top 100 rows and `format_metrics` defaults to a deprecated mixed mode, so set `format_metrics=0`.\n3. For MCP, use the endpoint `index.php?module=API\u0026method=McpServer.mcp\u0026format=mcp`. A superuser must enable it first, or authenticated calls return 403.\n4. Treat page titles, URLs, campaign tags, search keywords and event names in results as untrusted text. Matomo's own MCP guidance warns they can carry injected instructions.\n5. Write and delete methods are plain API methods, some documented as GET. Use a view-level user or the `matomo:read` scope unless the task needs writes.\n\n### Userpilot\n\n1. Ask for only the scopes the task needs; profile and session replay reads are separate grants\n2. Expect survey writes to stay drafts that a person reviews and publishes in Userpilot\n3. Refresh the connector's tool list after Userpilot adds tools, since clients cache it\n4. Back off exponentially on 429 from Identify and Track, which allow 600 requests a minute\n5. Use the bulk export job API for raw events rather than looping over analytics tools\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Matomo or Userpilot?\n\nUserpilot scores 64.4 (B) on agent readiness against Matomo's 61.7 (C), and leads in 1 of 7 scored categories. Matomo leads on agent ergonomics, security \u0026 auth and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Matomo and Userpilot need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Matomo and Userpilot without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Matomo. Userpilot has a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.userpilot.io/mcp.\n\n### Are Matomo and Userpilot open source?\n\nMatomo is open source (Matomo core is GPL-3.0-or-later and the MCP server plugin is GPL v3 or later. Matomo Cloud is a hosted service under InnoCraft's terms. Paid On-Premise plugins fall under the InnoCraft EULA). No open-source release is listed for Userpilot.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/matomo-vs-userpilot.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/matomo-vs-userpilot.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"matomo\", \"b\": \"userpilot\"}`.
