MCPcat is an analytics platform for MCP server owners 🐱. It captures user intentions and behavior patterns to help you understand what AI users actually need from your tools — eliminating guesswork and accelerating product development all with one-line of code.

Why use MCPcat? 🤔

MCPcat helps developers and product owners build, improve, and monitor their MCP servers by capturing user analytics and tracing tool calls.

Use MCPcat for:

• User session replay 🎬. Follow alongside your users to understand why they're using your MCP servers, what functionality you're missing, and what clients they're coming from.
• Trace debugging 🔍. See where your users are getting stuck, track and find when LLMs get confused by your API, and debug sessions across all deployments of your MCP server.

Getting Started

To get started with MCPcat, first create an account and obtain your project ID by signing up at mcpcat.io. For detailed setup instructions visit our documentation.

Once you have your project ID, integrate MCPcat into your MCP server:

import mcpcat
from mcp.server import FastMCP

server = FastMCP(name="echo-mcp", version="1.0.0")

# Register tools

# NOTE: track() must be called *after* tools are setup
mcpcat.track(server, "proj_0000000")

Identifying users

You can identify your user sessions with a simple callback MCPcat exposes, called identify.

def identify_user(request, extra):
    user = myapi.get_user(request.params.arguments.token)
    return UserIdentity(
            user_id=user.id,
            user_name=user.name,
            user_data={
                "favorite_color": user.favorite_color,
            },
    )

mcpcat.track(server, "proj_0000000", MCPCatOptions(identify=identify_user))

Redacting sensitive data

MCPcat redacts all data sent to its servers and encrypts at rest, but for additional security, it offers a hook to do your own redaction on all text data returned back to our servers.

# Sync version
def redact_sync(text):
    return custom_redact(text)

mcpcat.track(server, "proj_0000000", redact_sensitive_information=redact_sync)

Free for open source

MCPcat is free for qualified open source projects. We believe in supporting the ecosystem that makes MCP possible. If you maintain an open source MCP server, you can access our full analytics platform at no cost.
