# Pingdom MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Pingdom MCP lets you manage website uptime and performance directly from your AI agent. You can check if a site is down, grab response times, look at outage logs, and handle maintenance windows without leaving your editor or chat window. It connects your monitoring data to your agent so you can audit infrastructure health in real-time. ## Overview - **Category:** developer-tools - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_kBaoL7OqiLM0k6Lugs5Nppsh5FSwYzF8azc69rGW/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** uptime-monitoring, performance-tracking, website-reliability, alerts, response-time ## Description Imagine you're in the middle of a deployment and something feels off. Instead of switching tabs to your monitoring dashboard, you can just ask your agent if the production site is hitting any latency spikes. This Connector brings your Pingdom data straight into your workflow. You can pull up a list of all your active checks, see which ones are currently failing, and dive into the specific logs to see what the error actually says. It's about getting the facts without the friction of navigating a complex UI. If you need to silence alerts for a scheduled maintenance window, you just tell your agent to do it. It handles the heavy lifting of finding the right check and toggling the status. Since Vinkius hosts this, it's easy to plug in and start using your existing monitoring data as a source of truth for your agent. You're not just looking at data; you're interacting with your infrastructure's health in a way that feels like a conversation. ## Tools ### get_check_details Get the specific details for one of your monitoring checks. This helps you see the exact configuration of a single site. ### get_check_outages List all the times a specific check went down. Use this to see how often a service is actually failing. ### resume_uptime_check Turn a paused check back on. Use this to restart monitoring once your maintenance work is finished. ### get_average_response_time Find the average speed for a specific check. It's great for spotting performance regressions over time. ### list_uptime_checks See every uptime check you have active. This gives you a birds-eye view of your entire monitoring setup. ### list_alert_contacts See who's on the notification list. Use this to double-check who gets paged when a site goes down. ### list_maintenance_windows See your upcoming scheduled maintenance. This helps you keep track of when checks are supposed to be off. ### list_pingdom_probes See all the physical locations where Pingdom runs its tests. This shows you your global monitoring coverage. ### list_check_results Pull the raw logs for your checks. You can use this to find the exact error message for a failed request. ### pause_uptime_check Stop a specific check from running. This is perfect for when you're doing maintenance and don't want false alarms. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Is my main website currently up? ``` **Response:** ``` ### Website Status | Check Name | Status | Response Time | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Main Site** | ✅ UP | 240ms | | **API Gateway** | ✅ UP | 110ms | | **Legacy Portal** | ❌ DOWN | N/A | It looks like the Legacy Portal is currently unreachable. Would you like me to pull the latest logs for that check? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Show me the logs for the last failed check on the API. ``` **Response:** ``` ### Latest API Error Logs ```text [2026-07-10 14:02:01] ERROR: Connection Timeout [2026-07-10 14:02:01] Source: 192.168.1.1 [2026-07-10 14:02:01] Message: Failed to reach database cluster at us-east-1. ``` The last failure was a connection timeout. Should I check the average response times for the last hour to see if there's a trend? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Pause the monitoring for the staging site for an hour. ``` **Response:** ``` Done! I've successfully paused the uptime check for **Staging Site** (ID: 88231). I'll keep it paused for your maintenance window. Just let me know when you're ready to resume it. ``` ## Capabilities ### Check website status See if your site is up, down, or unconfirmed in real-time. ### Review outage history Pull a list of past failures for any specific check. ### Monitor response times Get average speed data to spot performance trends. ### Audit check logs Access raw result logs to find specific error messages. ### Manage maintenance windows Pause or resume checks during planned work. ### View probe locations See where your monitoring probes are located globally. ### List alert contacts See who gets notified when something breaks. ## Use Cases ### Incident Response An engineer asks the agent to list check results for a failing API to see the specific error code instead of digging through a UI. ### Maintenance Planning A sysadmin asks the agent to pause the monitoring for the staging site before starting a database migration to avoid false alarms. ### Performance Auditing An SRE asks for the average response time of the main site over the last hour to see if a new deploy slowed it down. ### Coverage Check A developer wants to see if their site is being monitored from Europe and asks the agent to list all probe locations. ## Benefits - Stop tab-switching by asking your agent for site status instead of logging into a dashboard. - Quickly identify the cause of a failure by pulling raw logs using list_check_results. - Prevent alert fatigue by pausing checks during maintenance with pause_uptime_check. - Spot performance issues faster by checking average speeds with get_average_response_time. - Verify your global reach by seeing all your monitoring locations via list_pingdom_probes. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get instant access to your site's health data through a simple chat interface. 1. Subscribe to the Connector on Vinkius. 2. Provide your Pingdom API token in the configuration. 3. Ask your agent to check a specific site's status or list your active monitors. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Can I use the Pingdom MCP to check if my website is down?** Yes, you can ask your agent to check the real-time status of any site you monitor. It will tell you immediately if it's up, down, or unconfirmed. **How does the Pingdom MCP help with website performance?** It allows your agent to pull average response times for specific checks. You can use this to spot speed regressions or see how your site is performing over time. **Can I manage my Pingdom alerts using an AI agent?** Yes, you can use your agent to list alert contacts or pause and resume checks. This is perfect for silencing notifications during scheduled maintenance. **Does the Pingdom MCP show me where my probes are?** Yes, it can list all the global Pingdom probe locations. This helps you understand exactly where your monitoring coverage is coming from. **Can I see the specific error logs with Pingdom MCP?** Yes, your agent can pull the raw check results for any specific monitor. This lets you see the actual error messages without logging into the Pingdom dashboard. **How do I stop false alerts during maintenance with Pingdom MCP?** You can simply tell your agent to pause the uptime check for the specific site you're working on. It will stop the monitoring until you tell it to resume. **How do I create a Pingdom API Token?** In your Pingdom dashboard (or SolarWinds portal), go to **Settings** > **API Tokens**. Click **Add API Token**, give it a name, and ensure it has the necessary access levels. **Can I see response times for different global regions?** Yes! The `list_check_results` tool returns data from multiple probe locations, allowing you to see how your site performs from different parts of the world. **Does this support pausing multiple checks at once?** The tools handle checks individually, but you can ask the AI agent to 'Pause all checks related to our API' and it will process them sequentially using their IDs.
