Get today summary is a WordPress ability from Burst Statistics — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Get today summary
Read-onlyReturn a snapshot of key Burst metrics — live visitors, pageviews, top page, top referrer, and average time on page — for a date range.
Requires the Burst Statistics plugin on WordPress 6.6+. All abilities register only when the 'Enable Abilities API' setting is turned on in Burst, and the current user needs the 'manage_burst_statistics' capability. The sales-data and subscriptions-data abilities additionally require Burst Pro (the BURST_PRO constant) to be active.
What it does
This ability returns Burst's read-only summary block: live visitor count, pageviews for the period, the most-viewed page (title and value), the top referrer (title and value), total pageviews, and average time on page. Optional date_start and date_end Unix timestamp inputs let you scope the summary to a custom range instead of Burst's default period. It gives an AI assistant a compact overview it can use to answer 'how is my site doing' style questions in a single call.
