Upcheck MCP Server

Connect

The server lives at https://mcp.upcheck.so/mcp and authenticates with an organization API key from Settings → API keys, sent as a bearer token. A Member key lets an assistant read but not change anything, which is the right default for a chat tool; use an Admin key when you want it to act.

Claude Code

terminal

claude mcp add --transport http upcheck https://mcp.upcheck.so/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer uck_your_key"

Cursor — in .cursor/mcp.json (project) or the global settings:

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "upcheck": {
      "url": "https://mcp.upcheck.so/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer uck_your_key" }
    }
  }
}

VS Code — in .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "upcheck": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.upcheck.so/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer uck_your_key" }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop and other clients that only speak stdio can bridge through mcp-remote:

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "upcheck": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.upcheck.so/mcp",
        "--header", "Authorization:Bearer uck_your_key"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Any client that speaks Streamable HTTP can POST JSON-RPC to the URL with the same header. Responses are plain JSON; no SSE stream is held open.

Tools

Every tool operates inside the key's organization. Read tools are marked read-only so a client can run them without asking; the destructive ones (removing a website, deleting a rule) ask the assistant to confirm with you first.

Websites

`list_domains`	Every monitored website with its latest state.
`get_domain`	One website with full certificate and registration detail.

Things to ask

“Which of our websites are failing right now, and since when?” runs get_stats and list_domains, then get_domain_monitors on the ones that are down.

“Add api.example.com and alert #ops on Slack if it goes down” runs add_domain, list_integrations and create_alert_rule with an http_down trigger scoped to the new website.

“Why did we get a certificate alert yesterday?” runs list_alert_events and get_domain_history.

Prefer HTTP?

The tools are thin wrappers over the REST API, so anything an assistant can do you can also script. See the guide and the API reference.

Your monitoring, as tools your assistant can call.
