Get started
Make an account, connect your first number and turn on alerts, in three steps.
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
Sign up at https://magnum-staging.elirais.workers.dev/login. Free covers 50 watches, with no credit card.
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://magnum-staging.elirais.workers.dev/mcp, or add https://magnum-staging.elirais.workers.dev/mcp as a custom connector, and sign in. 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 URL | 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 Test next to any active destination, and see it arrive.
Skip the learning time
A new watch learns its usual pattern for about 22 days; simple starter rules alert meanwhile. Bring in about 22 days or more of past counts and alerts start the same day. See Bring in past data.
