No OpenAPI file, no llms.txt, no markdown pages. - **Sign up**: In a browser: LiveView web form at /register (name, email, password) with an invisible Friendly Captcha that let our agent's browser through. No API or CLI sign-up. - **Verify**: In a browser: A 4-digit code arrived by mail in about a minute; typed on /activate. - **Key**: In a browser: Stats API key made in Settings > API keys (web only; docs give no API route).

Upgrading is a web flow (docs/trial-to-paid) through Paddle, which the docs name as the payment processor; checkout not opened, so whether an agent could finish it alone with a given card is unknown. - **Cancel**: Not needed: Nothing to cancel: our agent started no paid plan. - **Delete**: In a browser: Settings > Danger zone > Delete my account (one confirm).

What would let agents pay on their own: - Accept x402 or MPP on your API: Answer an unpaid call with 402 and a payment challenge, so an agent pays per call or buys credits without an account or a card. - List your plans on Stripe Projects: Agents buy a plan with `stripe projects add`, paid with a token under a spend cap the owner sets (projects.dev). Ways to pay checked 11 Oct 2026. ## What an agent can do - Query stats for its own site over the Stats API on the trial: aggregates, dimensions, filters, channels, scroll depth, goal conversions - Read current visitors over GET /api/v1/stats/realtime/visitors - List its sites and goals with a Stats API key - Add a site, create, rename and delete goals and funnels in the web UI - Create a shared dashboard link in the web UI and open it without a session - Delete its account in the web UI ## What it cannot do - Record events over the Events API from its own server: Bot filtering drops events with an automated agent User-Agent from a datacenter IP: 202 'ok' with x-plausible-dropped: 1 - Sign up, make an API key or delete the account headless: Web forms only; no API or CLI for these steps - Create sites, goals or shared links over the API: Sites API needs an Enterprise plan; refused on the trial - Use the MCP server: https://plausible.io/mcp answers 501 not_implemented and is not documented ## Tips for the owner 1. Open the Sites API to self-serve plans 2. Ship and document the MCP server 3. Let agents create API keys headless 4. Return an error when the Events API drops an event 5.
