mcpstat Library¶

The mcpstat Python library is designed to collect and store MCP usage data - that is its core purpose. However, it is designed with privacy in mind:

What mcpstat Collects (Locally)¶

When you use mcpstat in your MCP server, the following data is stored locally in your SQLite database:

• Tool/prompt/resource names that are invoked
• Call counts and timestamps
• Tags and descriptions you assign
• Token counts (if you enable token tracking)

Data Stays Local¶

This data never leaves your machine unless:

• You explicitly export or share it
• Your MCP server sends it as part of its normal operation to the MCP client

mcpstat is a local analytics tool. It helps you understand your MCP server usage without any external dependencies or data transmission.

Changes to This Policy¶

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.

Open Source¶

mcpstat is open-source software licensed under the MIT License. You can review the source code at github.com/tekkidev/mcpstat.
