**C · 54.8/100 · rank #607 of 842 · #9 in Product analytics & experimentation · not agent-ready · confidence medium**


Assessment: Countly suits an agent working against a server its owner already runs. The official MCP server filters its 209 tools by edition, plugin and permission and has per-category read-only settings. No status page, OpenAPI document or published API rate limit was found, and the Flex trial needs a credit card.

## Facts

- Kind: HTTP API · vendor: Countly Ltd · category: Product analytics & experimentation · legal entity: Countly Ltd · provenance 76/100
- Endpoint: `https://mcp.count.ly/mcp` (HTTP, stdio, Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: API key · pricing: Paid · x402: no · licence: Countly Lite is AGPL-3.0 with added branding terms under Section 7. Enterprise plugins are proprietary. Flex is a hosted service under Countly's terms. The MCP server is MIT
- Probe metrics: not measured yet (probes haven't run)
- Surface graded: A Countly Flex server (managed, one per customer) reached through the server HTTP API documented at api.count.ly and the official `countly-mcp-server`. Countly Lite and Enterprise run the same API on the owner's infrastructure
- API: Read endpoints under `/o` and write endpoints under `/i`, JSON responses. Reference versioned 24.05, 25.03 and 26.01, 563 pages for 26.01. No OpenAPI document found
- MCP server: `countly-mcp-server` 1.7.0 (7 October 2026), MIT, stdio or streamable HTTP, also hosted at https://mcp.count.ly/mcp with the server URL and token in request headers. 209 tools in 43 categories, 3 resources and 8 prompts per the README
- Credentials: `api_key` per dashboard user with that user's full access, or auth tokens limited by app, endpoint pattern, lifetime (default 1,800 seconds) and CRUD permission. Sent as a query parameter or in the `countly-token` header. `app_key` only writes data
- MCP permissions: `COUNTLY_TOOLS_ALL` and `COUNTLY_TOOLS_<CATEGORY>` take NONE, R, CR, CRU or CRUD. Tools the edition, plugins or user's permissions cannot run are hidden
- Rate limits: MCP HTTP endpoint 120 requests a minute per IP and 50 connections per IP by default. Server setting `api_rate_limit_requests` defaults to 0 (off), dashboard 500 requests in 60 seconds
- Errors: `{"result": "message"}` with an HTTP status code. MCP failures return as `isError` results naming the missing plugin or permission
- Editions: Flex from $175 a month with Advanced Analytics, Adaptivity and Intelligence as add-ons. Enterprise self-hosted on quotation with all three. Countly Lite free and open source
- Trial: 14 days on Flex, credit card required. A server over its tier's monthly limit is locked until the next cycle
- SDKs: Android, iOS, Web, Flutter, React Native, Dart, HarmonyOS, C++, Java, NodeJS, Windows and Unity, for data collection
- Audit: System logs plugin with `/o?method=systemlogs` endpoints
- Certifications: ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, SOC 2 Type II and TISAX participant per countly.com/privacy-by-design. Reports not public
- Status: No status page found
- Data: Flex servers on Google Cloud in a region the customer chooses (EU, USA or Asia per the sub-processor list). OpenAI is a sub-processor only when the AI assistant is used
- Open source: Countly Lite under AGPL-3.0 with added branding terms. Enterprise plugins closed. MCP server MIT
- Prices: Flex, lowest tier $175 per month (plan)

## Before you call it

1. Create a dedicated token in the Token Manager, limited to the apps and endpoints the task needs, and send it in the `countly-token` header, not the URL
2. Set `COUNTLY_TOOLS_ALL=R` unless the task needs writes. The token's own permissions still apply and the stricter of the two wins
3. Call `apps_list` first. Most tools need `app_id` or an exact `app_name`
4. Check `get_version` for the detected edition before planning funnel, retention or cohort queries, which need Enterprise plugins
5. Set `ENABLE_ANALYTICS=false` to stop usage reports to stats.count.ly, and prefer the stdio server to mcp.count.ly so the server URL and token stay local

## Connect

```bash
npx -y countly-mcp-server
```

```bash
curl -H "countly-token: YOUR_TOKEN" "https://your-countly-url.com/o?app_id=APP_ID&method=funneldata&funnels=[%22FUNNEL_ID%22]"
```

```bash
claude mcp add countly -e COUNTLY_SERVER_URL=https://your-countly-url.com -e COUNTLY_AUTH_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN -- npx -y --prefer-online countly-mcp-server@latest
```
