Get tracking status 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 tracking status
Read-onlyReport whether Burst's tracking transport is working and when it was last tested.
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 the current status of Burst's tracking endpoint along with the Unix timestamp of the last connectivity test. It takes no input. This lets an AI assistant quickly diagnose whether analytics data is actually being collected, which is useful when a site owner reports that their stats look wrong or empty.

You ask your AI assistant
"Is Burst's tracking working correctly on my site right now?"
Returns
An object with 'status' (the tracking transport status string) and 'last_test' (Unix timestamp of the last tracking test, or 0 if never tested).
Permission
The current user must have the 'manage_burst_statistics' capability. The ability is registered only when Burst's 'Enable Abilities API' setting is on.
