# UsherStats documentation

UsherStats is web analytics that counts people, not bots. It shows the readers of your site, the crawlers and AI bots
that fetch it, and the AI assistants that send readers your way, without cookies or personal data. It can also protect
your site from the bots you do not want.

## Start here

- [Getting started](getting-started.md): your first pageview in five minutes.
- [Installing](installing.md): the snippet, a first-party path on your own domain, the Worker SDK, or proxy mode.
- [Concepts](concepts.md): what counts as a pageview, a session, a bot, and internal traffic.

## Use it

- [Dashboards explained](dashboards.md)
- [Goals and A/B tests](goals-and-experiments.md)
- [Bot protection](bot-protection.md)
- [Proxy mode](proxy-mode.md)
- [Search Console and Bing](search-console-and-bing.md)

## Build on it

- [API and tokens](api-and-tokens.md): everything an account can do, over HTTP.
- [Agents and MCP](agents-and-mcp.md): give an AI agent access to your analytics.
- [Exporting your data](data-export.md)

## Your account

- [Privacy and compliance](privacy-and-compliance.md)
- [Billing and plans](billing-and-plans.md)
- [Troubleshooting](troubleshooting.md)

Every page here is also available as Markdown: add `.md` to its address, or read
[llms.txt](https://docs.usherstats.com/llms.txt) for the list and `llms-full.txt` for everything in one file.
