About Better Stack MCP Server
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.
The Vercel AI SDK gives every Better Stack tool full TypeScript type inference, IDE autocomplete, and compile-time error checking. Connect 10 tools through Vinkius and stream results progressively to React, Svelte, or Vue components. works on Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and any Node.js runtime.
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
The Better Stack MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Vercel AI SDK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
