I Built an Open-Source Threads Analytics Tool with 31 Charts, a Mac App, and MCP Support

Description and use

Threads Analytics offers 31 charts, a local Mac app, and MCP support, enabling creators to analyze historical Threads data and make data‑driven decisions.

Problem

Creators and developers needed a way to analyze Meta’s Threads performance across their entire posting history, rather than relying on intuition or single post metrics.

Outcome

The tool delivers actionable insights through 31 charts, a local Mac app, and AI‑agent integration, enabling creators to base decisions on their own historical Threads data.

Workflow

• 1. Connect Threads API to retrieve account and post data.
• 2. Store data in PostgreSQL for web deployment or SQLite for the Mac app.
• 3. Generate 31 analytics charts covering posting activity, engagement, content performance, and follower growth.
• 4. Offer a native‑like Mac desktop app that runs locally without a separate server.
• 5. Run an MCP server to expose analytics data to AI agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor.
• 6. Allow users to query the MCP server with natural language prompts to analyze best posts, suggest posting times, or recommend topics.

Evidence

It's a free, open-source analytics tool for Meta's Threads, built to help creators and developers understand their content performance using their own data.
