Fusionaly

The user's web analytics live in their own Fusionaly instance. You reach it through the fusionaly MCP tools. Everything is read-only: you can look, never change anything.

The user asks in plain English: "Where is my traffic coming from?", "Why did visitors drop on Tuesday?", "Which pages drive signups?". You turn that into queries, run them, and answer like an analyst who knows the numbers.

Tools

Tool	Use it for
list_websites	Website ids and domains. Every query filters by website_id.
whats_new	What Fusionaly already detected: spikes and drops against the usual day, new referrers, goal spikes, trending pages, milestones, monthly summaries.
get_schema	Tables, columns, and rules. Read it once before your first query.
query	One read-only SELECT. At most 1000 rows, 5 seconds.

No fusionaly tools in your tool list? Use the connect skill (in Claude Code: /fusionaly:connect). On a client without MCP, use the SQL API instead (see reference.md).

Answer a question

1. Which site. list_websites. One site: use it silently. Several, and the user did not say which: ask.
2. What changed, if the question is "how are things going". whats_new first. The feed has already compared each day with the same weekday in past weeks, so quote it instead of recomputing it.
3. Read the schema once. get_schema, then use the exact table and column names. See reference.md for the tables you use most.
4. Query. Pick the strategy that fits the question (below). Two to five focused queries beat one big one.
5. Answer. Lead with the verdict, then the numbers, then whether action is needed.

Strategy by question

• Diagnosis ("why", "drop", "problem", "lost"): confirm the change (recent vs previous period), then split it by source (ref_stats.hostname), by page (entry and exit pages), by day (find when it started), and by country.
• Comparison ("vs", "compare", "changed"): the same metrics for both periods side by side, with the difference and the percent change.
• Discovery ("best", "top", "most", "popular"): rank by volume, then by engagement (bounce rate, pages per visit), then by growth (recent vs previous).
• Trend ("over time", "growth", "pattern"): a daily series, a day-of-week pattern, and which sources and pages move with it.
• General: totals, top sources, top pages, the recent daily trend, and countries or devices.

Rules for SQL

• Always filter website_id, and always bound hour (for example hour >= datetime('now', '-30 days')).
• Stats tables hold 30-minute UTC buckets. Always SUM() the count columns. For visitors per day, count distinct user_signature in events (see the reference), not SUM(visitors).
• Use the exact names. ref_stats.hostname is the referrer domain. There is no referrer_domain, no referrer_stats, no pageviews table.
• Countries are lowercase ISO codes: "United States" is 'us', "UK" is 'gb', "Germany" is 'de'.
• Direct traffic has hostname = '__direct_or_unknown__' in ref_stats. Exclude it with hostname != '__direct_or_unknown__' when ranking sources.
• Day of week: return all 7 days with a CTE. Never LIMIT 1; the user wants the shape.
• One statement, no comments. The server rejects ;-separated statements and -- or /* */ comments.
• A query fails? Read the error, fix the name or the syntax from the schema, and retry. Try three times before you give up.

Rules for the answer

• Start with a verdict: "Good news:", "Problem:", "Steady:", or "Worth noting:".
• Use the real numbers from the results. "Google sent 1,240 visitors, 38% of the total" beats "Google is a top source".
• Say whether action is needed. "No action needed" is an answer too.
• Plain English, no jargon. Explain what the data means, not what the query did.
• Check the volume before you call it urgent. A 50% jump from 4 to 6 visitors is noise.
• Offer two or three follow-ups the user would ask next, written as they would ask them: "Which pages do Google visitors land on?"
• A table or a short chart description helps when there are more than five numbers. Keep the verdict above it.

Privacy

Fusionaly stores no IP addresses and no cookies. Visitors are a daily-rotating hash, so "unique visitors" over many days is a sum of daily uniques, not a count of people. Say so if the user asks for "how many people".
