Summary

Fixes #80

New page /mcp under Features, after AI chat ("MCP server" in the menu):

  • The MCP URL https://mcp.simpleanalytics.com/mcp, and that it works on every plan.
  • Setup for Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code and Codex, the same as the dashboard's Connect MCP modal.
  • Cursor and other agents: copy instructions from the Integrate AI tab, approve the link and code, pick the team and how long.
  • More than one team: each connection has one team, connect once more under another name for another team.
  • What apps can do, grouped (stats, latest hits and raw data, setting up websites, goals and more), what they can't (delete, billing, users), and disconnecting.

install.md links "MCP tools" to the new page.

Security implications

  • No security impact
  • Has security impact - described as:

Testing

  • Built with Jekyll (github-pages gem, Ruby 3.3) in Docker: _site/mcp.html renders the 5 code blocks and 9 headings, all 10 internal links resolve to pages in _site, and _site/install.md links https://docs.simpleanalytics.com/mcp.
  • Checked the steps and claims against the dashboard's main: ConnectMcpModal.vue, IntegrateAi.vue, the agent approval page and the tools. /select-website/ai redirects to the Integrate AI tab.
  • git diff --check and Prettier: clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added setup guidance for connecting Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, and other compatible apps to Simple Analytics through MCP.
    • Explained dashboard-based access for apps without MCP login, including team selection, access durations, supported analytics and account actions, and permission limits.
    • Added ready-made agent instructions and steps to disconnect apps or revoke access.
    • Updated installation instructions with a link to the MCP tools documentation.

People can now connect Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code and Codex to Simple
Analytics, and agents like Cursor get access with an approval code, but
the docs didn't explain how. Agents reading the install guide can now
point people to it.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "Document how to connect AI apps over MCP" matches the main change. The PR adds a new /mcp documentation page covering the MCP server URL and setup steps for Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, and other agents, and it links that page from install docs. The title is short, specific, and free of file lists or vague wording, so a teammate scanning history would understand the primary change.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #80 is the only direct linked issue. It asks for a docs page covering: (1) the MCP server URL, (2) setup for Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code and Codex, (3) steps for Cursor and other agents, and (4) what apps can and cannot do. The reviewed head contains _docs/30_features/06_mcp.md (permalink /mcp). It meets each point: the URL https://mcp.simpleanalytics.com/mcp appears in the intro; sections for Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code and Codex give setup steps; 'Cursor and other agents' covers the Integrate AI tab, the approval link and code, team selection and access duration; 'What apps can do' lists stats, raw data, website setup and goals; and the page states what apps cannot do (no delete, no plan or billing changes, no user management). The page also covers multi-team connections and disconnecting. The issue's 'Why' asks for a single page that other places can link to. The page exists at head and the install.txt link (source of /install.md) points to it. The issue has no coding acceptance criteria. The deliverable is docs content, so the verdict rests on the file content. The author's Jekyll build and link checks were not re-run in this review.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR change set, from merge base 7c63190 to head 5fad548, consists of two documentation files: the new _docs/30_features/06_mcp.md (about +109 lines) and install.txt (one line changed). The PR description names install.md, but install.md does not exist at head. install.txt has permalink /install.md, and at head it links 'MCP tools' to {{ site.url }}/mcp in the 'Check that it works' section. The new page supports the issue #80 objective. The install.txt link points to that page, so it supports the same objective. No unrelated code or configuration change appears in the supplied change summary or the repository file list at head. Limitation: the whole-PR text diff could not be read because changed blobs are missing from the checkout. The base content of install.txt was therefore not compared line by line. The assessment relies on the change summary and the head file contents.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

SDLC label: change: routine because This PR only adds a public MCP setup guide to the docs site and links to it from install.txt, and simpleanalytics/docs is a public static site that is always routine.

- Line 26: Update the ChatGPT setup instructions in the MCP documentation to
cover creating and installing the custom MCP plugin, then selecting it in a
conversation; state that the connection flow is web-only and subject to
workspace permissions.
- Line 22: Update the Claude custom connector setup guidance to distinguish Team
and Enterprise plans: state that an authorized organization administrator must
add the connector first, then instruct members to connect the already-added
connector instead of adding one themselves. Keep the existing self-service steps
for plans where members can add custom connectors.
