Vaneform: free website traffic checker, growth leaderboards, API and MCP

Vaneform is a free website traffic checker and growth analytics service. Enter any public domain to see its estimated monthly visits, month-over-month change, traffic sources, top countries, ranks and domain facts. Every figure is printed with its month, source and confidence. From there you can compare competitors, follow traffic growth leaderboards, read disclosed revenue boards, check keyword data and website history, and pull the same data into your own tools through the website traffic API and the MCP server.

Features

• Website traffic lookup: estimated monthly visits, trend, traffic sources (direct, search, social, referrals, mail, AI and more), top countries, global and country rank, engagement. Each report also has a Markdown version for AI tools.
• Competitor comparison: bulk compare several domains on the same month, or one name across domain extensions.
• Leaderboards: fastest growing websites, AI traffic, organic and direct growth, most visited websites, disclosed monthly revenue, AI tools by traffic growth and backlink opportunities.
• Search research: keyword research and site keyword rankings with landing pages and search competitors (Pro).
• Website history: archived homepage captures and registration dates at /history.
• API: REST API with a free tier. Free accounts get 100 credits a month; keyword data is Pro-only. See docs/api.md.
• MCP: hosted server at https://vaneform.com/mcp plus an open-source local proxy, CLI and agent skill in vaneform/vaneform-mcp. See docs/mcp.md.
