      }
    }
  },
  "inputs": [

Restart Claude Desktop to load the server.

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Enable agent mode and add MCP servers to access Umami from Copilot.

For workspace: Create .vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "umami": {
      "command": "~/go/bin/umami-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "UMAMI_URL": "https://your-umami-instance.com",
        "UMAMI_USERNAME": "your-username",
        "UMAMI_PASSWORD": "your-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "umami_url",
      "description": "Umami instance URL"
    },
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "umami_username",
      "description": "Umami username"
    },
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "umami_password",
      "description": "Umami password",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "umami": {
      "command": "~/go/bin/umami-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "UMAMI_URL": "${input:umami_url}",
        "UMAMI_USERNAME": "${input:umami_username}",
        "UMAMI_PASSWORD": "${input:umami_password}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Access via: Chat view → Agent mode → Tools button

Other MCP Clients

Cursor: Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + P → "Cursor Settings" → MCP section

Windsurf: Settings → MCP Settings → Add MCP Server
Config location: %APPDATA%\windsurf\mcp_settings.json (Windows)

Zed: Settings → assistant.mcp_servers

Cline: VS Code Settings → Extensions → Cline → MCP Servers

All use similar JSON format as above. Docker and secure prompts work the same way.

Available Tools

• get_websites - List all your websites
• get_stats - Get visitor statistics
• get_pageviews - View page traffic over time
• get_metrics - See browsers, countries, devices, and more
• get_active - Current active visitors

Remote Usage (No Install)

A hosted instance is available at https://umami-mcp.macawls.dev/mcp. You can connect to it directly from any MCP client that supports HTTP transport — no binary or Docker needed.

Credentials are passed as query parameters:

https://umami-mcp.macawls.dev/mcp?umamiHost=https://your-instance.com&umamiUsername=admin&umamiPassword=pass

Claude Desktop

Add to your config with type: "url":

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "umami": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://umami-mcp.macawls.dev/mcp?umamiHost=https://your-instance.com&umamiUsername=admin&umamiPassword=pass"
    }
  }
}

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "umami": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://umami-mcp.macawls.dev/mcp?umamiHost=https://your-instance.com&umamiUsername=admin&umamiPassword=pass"
    }
  }
}

Other Clients

Any MCP client that supports Streamable HTTP can connect using the URL above.

Transport Modes

The server supports two transport modes, controlled by the TRANSPORT environment variable:

Stdio (default)

Used by local MCP clients like Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, etc. This is the default — no extra configuration needed.

HTTP

The server exposes a /mcp endpoint that speaks Streamable HTTP. Use this for self-hosting or remote deployments.

TRANSPORT=http PORT=9999 ./umami-mcp-server

Credentials are passed as query parameters on the initialize request:

curl -X POST "http://localhost:9999/mcp?umamiHost=https://analytics.example.com&umamiUsername=admin&umamiPassword=pass" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize"}'

The response includes a Mcp-Session-Id header to use for subsequent requests.

Docker

When using Docker, the image defaults to HTTP mode:

docker run -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/macawls/umami-mcp-server

For local stdio usage with Docker, override the transport:

docker run -i --rm \
  -e TRANSPORT=stdio \
  -e UMAMI_URL="https://your-instance.com" \
  -e UMAMI_USERNAME="username" \
  -e UMAMI_PASSWORD="password" \
  ghcr.io/macawls/umami-mcp-server

Alternative Configuration

Instead of environment variables, create a config.yaml file next to the binary:

umami_url: https://your-umami-instance.com
username: your-username
password: your-password

Environment variables take priority over the config file.

Build from Source

git clone https://github.com/Macawls/umami-mcp-server.git
cd umami-mcp-server
go build -o umami-mcp

Troubleshooting

Binary won't run

• macOS: Run xattr -c umami-mcp-server to remove quarantine
• Linux: Run chmod +x umami-mcp-server to make executable

Connection errors

• Verify your Umami instance is accessible
• Check your credentials are correct

Tools not showing up

• Check your MCP client logs for errors
• Verify the binary path is absolute
• Try running the binary directly to check for errors
