Get started

Make an account, connect your first number and turn on alerts: three steps, about ten minutes.

CountWatch watches the counts your business runs on (orders, sign-ups, payments, jobs) and tells you, and your agent, when one spikes, drops or stops. Setting it up takes three steps.

1. Make an account

2. Connect your first number

Pick the way that fits where the number comes from. The first count starts the watch.

Where the number comes from	What to do
You use Claude Code, Cursor or Claude Desktop	Connect CountWatch: `claude mcp add --transport http countwatch https://staging.countwatch.com/mcp`, or add `https://staging.countwatch.com/mcp` as a custom connector, and sign in with your e-mail. No key needed. Then ask your agent: "Watch our orders and tell me when they stop."
Stripe, GitHub, n8n or another tool that can call a link	Make a webhook URL in the dashboard (Sources) and paste it into the tool. Each call counts one. See Connect your data.
Your own code	Count where it happens. See Your app's code.
A database or a nightly job	Send its count on a schedule. See Any other source.

3. Turn on alerts

Open Destinations in the dashboard. Turn on e-mail alerts, or add Slack, a webhook or PagerDuty (Pro). Then press Send a test alert (on the Overview while you set up, or next to any destination) and see it arrive.

Skip the learning time

A new watch learns its usual pattern for about 3 weeks; simple starter rules alert meanwhile. Bring in 2 weeks or more of past counts and alerts start the same day. See Bring in past data.
