How Can I Tell if Mata Hari Is Visiting My Website?
Agent Analytics tracks Mata Hari visits in real time alongside every other known AI agent, crawler, and scraper. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user agent string contains "Mata Hari". Log the paths it requests and how often, since nothing about it is documented. Keep in mind that Mata Hari doesn't publish a verification method, so any client can claim its user agent string and a log match is a hint rather than proof.
