Get started

Make an account, connect your first number and turn on alerts, in three steps.

CountWatch watches your orders, sign-ups, payments and jobs, and tells you and your agent when one drops, stops or spikes. Three steps.

1. Make an account

2. Connect your first number

Pick the way that fits. The first count starts the watch.

Where the number comes from	What to do
You use Claude, Cursor or Codex	Add `https://countwatch.com/mcp` to your agent app (Claude: Customize → Connectors → Add → Add custom connector; Cursor: the Add to Cursor link in the app, or .cursor/mcp.json; Codex: codex mcp add). Then tell your agent: "Set up CountWatch for this project." It runs `npx countwatch init` when the project needs a key; you approve it in your browser. In a terminal: `claude mcp add --transport http countwatch https://countwatch.com/mcp`.
Stripe, GitHub, n8n or another tool that can call a URL	Paste a Webhook URL from the dashboard (Senders (Connect)) 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

Add Slack, a webhook, e-mail or PagerDuty (Pro) under Destinations (Connect) and press Send a test. Then choose it under Alerts go to on a group's or a watch's page; until then alerts stay in the app.

Skip the learning time

A new watch first gets to know its pattern; starter rules alert meanwhile. Import past counts and full alerts start the same day. See Bring in past data.
