Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant register a heartbeat watch and get alerted when an agent stops checking in.

What it does
Ned Watch is a remote MCP endpoint that provides deadman-style heartbeat monitoring over HTTP with TLS. The description points to a single quickstart call, watch_register, which sets up the watch and issues an agent key on first use. Subsequent calls authenticate with that key so the service can tell whether the agent is still alive. Monitoring runs on US and EU nodes.
When to use it
Worth adding when you run long-lived or scheduled agents and want to be notified if one silently stops running. It suits setups where a missed heartbeat should trigger an alert rather than being discovered later.
Requirements
A remote MCP client connecting to the hosted endpoint at over streamable HTTP; no local package or runtime is needed. An agent key is required after the first registration call, supplied as the Authorization header in the form Bearer . Network access to the service is required.
Before you install
The Authorization header carries a secret agent key; treat it as a credential and avoid exposing it in logs or shared configuration. The first watch_register call is made without that header and issues the key, so the registration step should be done deliberately. The service is remote, so heartbeat and registration data are sent to a third party.
