# StatusCake MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > StatusCake lets you monitor website uptime, page speed, and SSL certificates directly from your AI agent. It connects your infrastructure health data to your chat interface, allowing you to check statuses, manage alerts, and track performance metrics without switching tabs. ## Overview - **Category:** cloud-infrastructure - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_kxDXfegTDoGVapQePvXUKpPjef4KoYU6Wo6EGxSc/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** uptime-monitoring, page-speed, ssl-monitoring, infrastructure-health, website-monitoring ## Description StatusCake connects your infrastructure health data directly to your AI client. Instead of jumping between different dashboards to see if your API is responding or if a page is loading slowly in Europe, you just ask your agent for the latest numbers. It handles the heavy lifting of fetching real-time data from your monitors, so you can stay focused on fixing problems rather than hunting for them. Whether you're trying to figure out why a specific region is seeing high latency or checking if your SSL certificates are about to expire, the information is right there in the conversation. This is one of the many connectors available in the Vinkius catalog, making it easy to plug into your existing workflow. You can manage your entire monitoring suite, from heartbeat checks for cron jobs to complex maintenance windows, using plain English. It's about getting answers instantly when things go wrong or staying ahead of issues before they impact your users. When an incident happens, you don't want to be squinting at a tiny status light or digging through logs to find a single failure point. You need to know what's down, where it's down, and how it's affecting your users right now. This connection turns your chat interface into a live command center where you can see the pulse of your entire digital presence. You can check your site's speed, verify your security certificates, and manage your alerts in one place. It takes the friction out of monitoring so you can get back to building. ## Tools ### create_heartbeat Create a new heartbeat check to monitor background tasks.

Use this to see every service you're currently monitoring for downtime. ### update_heartbeat Update the configuration of an existing heartbeat check. Use this to change the frequency or target of a background task. ### update_ssl_check Update the details of an SSL check. Use this to change the domain or monitoring frequency for a certificate. ### update_uptime Update an existing uptime check. This allows you to modify the check frequency or the URLs being monitored. ### list_pagespeeds List all your active page speed checks. Use this to manage your global performance monitoring. ### list_ssl_locations View the locations for all your SSL checks. This helps you verify security monitoring in different regions. ### update_pagespeed Update a page speed check's settings. This lets you change the URLs or regions you're monitoring. ### get_pagespeed Fetch the current results of a page speed check. It gives you a real-time look at your site's loading speed. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Are my site monitors all green? ``` **Response:** ``` I've checked your active uptime monitors. Here is the current status: | Monitor Name | Status | Region | | --- | --- | --- | | Main API | Up | US-East | | Customer Portal | Up | EU-West | | Legacy DB | Down | US-West | The **Legacy DB** is currently reporting as down. ``` **Prompt:** ``` When does my SSL certificate for the main site expire? ``` **Response:** ``` The SSL certificate for **example.com** is currently valid. It is set to expire on **December 15, 2024**, which is in about 45 days. You might want to schedule a renewal soon to avoid any security warnings. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Give me a summary of our page speed in Asia. ``` **Response:** ``` I've pulled the latest page speed data for the Asia region. The average load time is **3.2 seconds**. This is slightly higher than your target of 2.5 seconds. Would you like to see the history for this region to see if it's getting worse? ``` ## Capabilities ### Check website uptime Get real-time status updates on your web services and APIs. ### Review page speed history See how your site's loading times have changed over time. ### Verify SSL health Check certificate expiration dates and security configurations. ### Manage heartbeat signals Monitor background tasks and cron jobs to ensure they are running. ### View maintenance windows See planned outages and scheduled maintenance across your fleet. ### List contact groups See who gets notified when your infrastructure goes down. ## Use Cases ### Rapid Incident Response An SRE gets a page and asks the agent to list all uptime monitors to see which service is failing. They then use `list_uptimes` to get a full status report in one message. ### Global Performance Audit A developer wants to know why a site feels slow in Asia. They ask the agent to list page speed locations and then check the history for those specific spots using `list_pagespeed_locations`. ### Automated Backup Verification A developer wants to ensure a nightly backup script is running. They use `create_heartbeat` to set up a check for that specific cron job. ### Dynamic Monitor Updates A team needs to change the URL being monitored for a core service. They ask the agent to use `update_uptime` to modify the check parameters instantly. ## Benefits - Get instant status updates on your website uptime without leaving your editor. Use `get_uptime` to see if your site is live right now. - Track global page speed trends over time using `get_pagespeed_history`. This helps you identify which regions are lagging behind. - Prevent unexpected security warnings by monitoring SSL certificates with `get_ssl_check`. You'll always know your expiration dates. - Coordinate planned downtime easily by viewing and managing maintenance windows with `list_maintenance_windows`. This keeps your team informed. - Manage your notification flow by listing contact groups with `list_contact_groups`. You can see exactly who gets pinged during an outage. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a conversational interface for your entire infrastructure monitoring suite. 1.
