Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted MCP server for Healthchecks.io that lets an assistant inspect cron/heartbeat checks, pings and status flips, and create, pause, resume or delete checks.

What you can do
  • List and inspect checks, including status, schedule, last ping and ping URL
  • Read a check's logged pings and the verbatim request body of a single ping
  • Review a check's status-change history over a time window
  • List notification integrations and status-badge URLs
  • Create, update, pause, resume and permanently delete checks
  • Check usage quota, request a feature, upgrade or cancel the paid plan
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to answer questions about scheduled-job and heartbeat monitoring, such as which checks are down, when a job last failed and recovered, or what a job reported on its last ping, and to adjust checks without opening the Healthchecks.io dashboard.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local install. Connect with the endpoint URL only, then sign in through OAuth with your Healthchecks.io credentials and paste a Healthchecks.io API token (Settings, API Access), which is stored per user. Listing integrations needs a read-write API key; a read-only key gets HTTP 401. Free plan allows 50 tool calls per month.
Before you install
Write tools change live monitoring configuration: create, update, pause, resume and delete, and deletion cannot be undone. The server asks for a Healthchecks.io API token, which is stored on the hosted service, and a read-write key grants broader access. Usage is metered: 50 calls per month free, paid plans at $9/month or $90/year with a 10,000-call fair-use limit, billed through a Stripe checkout link, with no refund for the current period on cancellation.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Healthchecks.io MCP by usefulapi in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.usefulapi%2Fhealthchecksio/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

README

Healthchecks.io MCP by usefulapi

Manage Healthchecks.io from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — manage cron/heartbeat checks, read pings and flips, and pause/resume/delete checks. Hosted, no local install: connect with your Healthchecks.io API token.

Live endpoint: https://healthchecksio.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://healthchecksio.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http healthchecksio https://healthchecksio.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
json
{  "mcpServers": {    "healthchecksio": {      "url": "https://healthchecksio.usefulapi.io/mcp"    }  }}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Healthchecks.io credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/healthchecksio/

On first connect you'll paste your Healthchecks.io API token (Healthchecks.io → Settings → API Access). It's validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.

healthchecksio_list_checks

List checks

List all checks in the project, optionally filtered by slug and/or tags. Returns {checks:[...]} — each check's status, schedule, last ping, and ping URL. Healthchecks: GET /checks/.

Parameterstagslug

healthchecksio_get_check

Get check

Get a single check by its UUID (or its unique read-only key). Returns the check's full state — status, timeout/schedule, grace, tags, last ping. Healthchecks: GET /checks/{uuid}.

Parametersuuidrequired

healthchecksio_list_pings

List pings

List a check's logged pings (100 on the free plan, 1000 on paid), most recent first. Each ping: type, date, n, scheme, remote_addr, method, ua, rid, duration, body_url. Healthchecks: GET /checks/{uuid}/pings/.

Parametersuuidrequired

healthchecksio_get_ping_body

Get ping body

Get the logged request body of a single ping, returned as PLAIN TEXT (verbatim, not JSON). Healthchecks: GET /checks/{uuid}/pings/{n}/body.

Parametersnrequireduuidrequired

healthchecksio_list_flips

List flips

List a check's status changes ("flips") over time — [{timestamp, up}]. Optionally scope by a lookback window or an explicit start/end range. Healthchecks: GET /checks/{uuid}/flips/.

Parametersenduuidrequiredstartseconds

healthchecksio_list_integrations

List integrations

List the project's notification integrations ("channels") — {channels:[{id, name, kind}]}. The ids are what you assign to a check's `channels` field. Needs a read-write API key: a read-only key gets HTTP 401. Healthchecks: GET /channels/.

Takes no parameters.

healthchecksio_list_badges

List badges

List the project's status-badge URLs per tag (plus "*" for the overall status) — {badges:{...}}. Healthchecks: GET /badges/.

Takes no parameters.

healthchecksio_create_check

Create check

CREATES a new check — this MODIFIES live monitoring config. Provide a `timeout` (simple period-based check) OR a `schedule` + `tz` (cron-based check); the two are mutually exclusive. Use `unique` to avoid creating duplicates. Assign notifications via `channels`. Healthchecks: POST /checks/. Returns the created check (201) or the existing match (200).

Parameterstzdescnameslugtagsgraceuniquemethodstimeoutchannelsschedulemanual_resume

healthchecksio_update_check

Update check

UPDATES an existing check by UUID — this MODIFIES live monitoring config. Send only the fields you want to change (timeout and schedule remain mutually exclusive). Healthchecks: POST /checks/{uuid}. Returns the updated check.

Parameterstzdescnameslugtagsuuidrequiredgraceuniquemethodstimeoutchannelsschedule+1 more

healthchecksio_pause_check

Pause check

PAUSES a check — disables monitoring without deleting it (it stops going down for missed pings until it next receives a ping or is resumed). This MODIFIES live monitoring config. Healthchecks: POST /checks/{uuid}/pause (empty body).

Parametersuuidrequired

healthchecksio_resume_check

Resume check

RESUMES a paused check — re-enables monitoring. This MODIFIES live monitoring config. Returns HTTP 409 (surfaced cleanly) if the check is not currently paused. Healthchecks: POST /checks/{uuid}/resume (empty body).

Parametersuuidrequired

healthchecksio_delete_check

Delete check

PERMANENTLY DELETES a check by UUID — this MODIFIES live monitoring config and cannot be undone. Healthchecks: DELETE /checks/{uuid}. Returns the deleted check's last known state.
