About
UserTapes converts user sessions into video playback for humans and structured markdown for AI agents. Agents can query sessions via Model Context Protocol to identify bugs, errors, and user friction, while humans review pixel-accurate recordings with event annotations. Integrates with Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients for automated session analysis and debugging.
Use Cases
- Asking an AI assistant whether any users hit a problem today and getting a timestamped answer with the session recording as proof
- Finding why a checkout or signup failed by watching the exact moment of failure, such as a silent coupon error followed by rage clicks
- Letting coding agents like Claude or Cursor read session transcripts to reproduce user-reported bugs without manual repro steps
Who it is for
- Solo and indie developers who want to understand users without a research team.
- Product and growth teams deciding on roadmap bets using real session recordings instead of dashboards.
- Agencies and enterprises managing session replay across many client sites with team seats.
Pricing
Plans are listed under Indie, Studio, and Broadcast tiers.

FAQ
Do I need a cookie banner?
No. UserTapes is cookieless by default — no cookies, no fingerprinting, nothing that needs consent. The tracker just records the session and reports back.
Which agents actually work with this?
Any MCP client. We've verified Claude Code, Claude, Cursor, Gemini, and ChatGPT — point your agent's MCP config at one URL and one token and it can query sessions immediately. No SDK, no glue code.
Can my agent (or I) see what visitors typed?
No. Every input is masked at the source, before it ever leaves the visitor's browser. What you and your agent see is that a field was filled in — never the value, not even for a second.
What's the actual difference between the free plan and a paid deck?
Session volume, retention window, and site/seat count scale with the plan you're on. MCP access itself is unlimited on every tier — including the free Demo Tape.
What happens if I go over my plan's session limit?
You'll hear from us, not get cut off mid-session. Usage well outside what's typical for your plan gets a friendly nudge to upgrade — never a silent wall.
How is this different from Hotjar or FullStory?
Those are built for a human to dig through a dashboard. UserTapes is built to be asked a question — by you or by your agent — and every answer cites the exact tape and timestamp it came from, not a chart.
Do I need to install an SDK?
No. One tracking snippet on your site, under 15 KB on the wire, and one line in your agent's MCP config. That's the entire integration.
What happens to a tape once its retention window ends?
It expires automatically on the schedule you set per site — no manual cleanup, storage stays lean, and your bill stays flat.
