Tools for your AI Agents to operate Better Stack
Ask your AI agent "List any active unresolved incidents going on right now." and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 10 tools connected to real Better Stack data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by the Vinkius - your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.
Why teams choose Vinkius
One subscription gives you access to thousands of MCP servers - and you can deploy your own to the Vinkius Edge. Your AI agents only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure and security, zero maintenance.

What the Better Stack MCP Server unlocks
Connect your Better Stack (Better Uptime) account to any AI agent and empower it to act as your Level 1 Site Reliability Engineer (SRE). Let your AI diagnose incidents, manage escalations, and audit monitoring configs securely via conversation.
What you can do
- Incident Response — Rapidly list firing incidents, inspect technical downtime payloads, acknowledge alerts, and force resolve states inline
- Uptime Monitors — Fetch exact definitions of active HTTP endpoint pings, DNS probes, and latency constraints across your fleet
- Cron Heartbeats — Investigate passive tracking endpoints validating background workers and server limits
- On-Call Management — Expose active shifts and team schedules to determine explicitly who is getting paged in real-time
- Status Pages — Read configured public dashboards tracking your global infrastructure
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Better Stack API Token
3. Empower Claude, Cursor, or your preferred agent to respond to alerts interactively
Stop switching context between your terminal and incident dashboards during critical outages.
Who is this for?
- DevOps & SREs — audit on-call matrices safely, track firing pages, and orchestrate initial debugging workflows without leaving chat
- Engineering Managers — review recent downtime timelines and resolve dormant alerts quickly
- Backend Developers — rapidly debug failing cron heartbeats while simultaneously patching code
Frequently asked questions about the Better Stack MCP Server
Can my AI automatically acknowledge an incident so my phone stops ringing?
Yes! Running the acknowledge_incident capability pushes a verified API command halting escalation cycles (like SMS and phone calls) natively while you debug.
Is it possible to see the exact HTTP response body or headers that caused a monitor to fail?
Yes, pulling details via get_incident exposes the raw nested trace containing the root cause payloads and server errors Better Stack historically received when the check failed.
Can the agent create new monitors automatically?
No. The integration focuses safely on observation, alerting resolution, and tracking currently. Creation endpoints represent mutation vectors decoupled to ensure you preserve billing and account structure intentionally.
