Why Betterlytics?
Most teams piece together how their website is doing from four or five tools: one for traffic, one for session replay, one for errors, one for uptime and one for performance. Betterlytics puts all of it in one dashboard, on one data model and one bill. It runs without cookies, is hosted in the EU or on your own servers, and never shares data with third parties. It is built on Rust and ClickHouse and open source under AGPL-3.0.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
