Check Your Website Visitors Through Matomo and Your Muse

Verified 2026-11-09

If you track your website with Matomo, your muse can read your visitor numbers in plain words, so you can ask which pages work and where visitors come from without opening the reports.

What it does

Matomo is a website analytics tool that records visits, pages, and goals, on Matomo Cloud or your own server. Through a connector with 10 read-only tools, your muse can give the headline numbers for a period, with visits, unique visitors, actions, bounce rate, and average visit time. It can list which pages were viewed most and how long people stayed, which pages visitors arrived on first, and where traffic came from: search engine, website, social network, campaign, or direct visit. It can break visits down by country and device type, read goal conversions, and show recent visits with the pages viewed in order. That answers plain questions, such as whether a new page is being found, or whether most readers arrive on phones.

How to use it

  1. Start an AnythingMCP workspace and install the Matomo connector.
  2. In Matomo, open Administration, then Personal, then Security, then Auth tokens, and create a token. Enter your Matomo address and the token where the connector asks for MATOMO_URL and MATOMO_TOKEN.
  3. In Muse, open Settings, then Connectors, and add a custom connector with the MCP server address AnythingMCP gives you. Sign in and approve.
  4. Check the setup by asking the muse to list the sites the token can report on.
  5. Ask the real questions, such as which pages got the most visits last week, or where visitors came from this month.

What you need

  • A Muse account that can add custom connectors
  • A Matomo Cloud account or your own Matomo installation
  • An AnythingMCP account with the Matomo connector added
  • A Matomo auth token and your Matomo address

What to watch for

  • The token decides which sites the muse can see. Use a token that covers only the sites you want to ask about, and keep it private like a password.
  • Small numbers move a lot. A page with ten visits can double or halve in a day without meaning much, so ask for a week or a month before you act on a change.
  • Recent visits show what pages a visitor viewed, in order. Treat that detail with care, and do not use it to identify a person.
  • This is a custom connector, and Meta does not review custom connectors. You can disconnect it in Settings at any time. The muse prepares, you decide.
