YourTraffic

Open-source, privacy-first web analytics. Unlimited websites, a first-class REST API and a native MCP server for agents. No cookies, no personal data, no consent banners.

Self-hosting

Prerequisites

  • Vercel CLI installed globally
  • A Postgres database
  • Node 20 or newer

Set up

Clone the repo and install dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/kozmos-tech/yourtraffic
cd yourtraffic
npm install

Copy the example env file and fill it in.

cp .env.example .env
  • DATABASE_URL. Your Postgres connection string. The app fails to start without it.
  • BETTER_AUTH_SECRET. A long random secret. Generate one with openssl rand -base64 32. Never ship the default, since visitor hashes are salted from it.
  • BETTER_AUTH_URL. The public origin of your deployment, like https://analytics.example.com. Use http://localhost:3000 in development. This is also the origin MCP clients discover for OAuth, so it must be the exact public URL with no trailing path.
  • GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID and GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET. Optional. Set both to enable Google sign-in on the login and signup pages. Create OAuth credentials in the Google Cloud console and add BETTER_AUTH_URL + /api/auth/callback/google as an authorized redirect URI. Leave them blank to hide the Google button.

Create the database tables before the first run.

npm run db:migrate

Run it

vc dev
open http://localhost:3000

Sign in, add a website, then drop the shown snippet into the <head> of your site. Stats appear within seconds of the first visit.

Deploy

npm install
vc deploy

Set DATABASE_URL, BETTER_AUTH_SECRET and BETTER_AUTH_URL in your Vercel project settings, then run the migration against your production database.

Database

Schema lives in src/db/schema.ts. Generate a migration after changing it, then apply it.

npm run db:generate
npm run db:migrate

Reading your stats

Every project has an api key, shown under Settings in the dashboard.

  • REST API. Pass the key as a Bearer token to /api/v1/stats. See llms.txt for the full guide.
  • MCP server. Point an agent at /mcp. It uses OAuth, so you sign in to approve access and no api key is needed.
