Can I check if a specific website is down using the agent?

Yes! Use the `list_monitors` tool to see the status of all your monitored URLs. You can also use `get_monitor` with a specific ID to see its current status and last checked timestamp.

How do I see who is currently on-call?

Simply ask the agent to `list_on_calls`. It will retrieve the current schedules and rotations, showing you who is responsible for incident response right now.

Does the integration allow me to create a new heartbeat monitor?

Currently, the toolset focuses on managing monitors and retrieving incident/on-call data. You can list and inspect heartbeats, but for creating new monitors with complex notification rules, we recommend using the Better Stack dashboard.

About Better Stack MCP Server

Connect your Better Stack (formerly Better Uptime) account to any AI agent and orchestrate your infrastructure monitoring and incident management through natural conversation.

Pydantic AI validates every Better Stack tool response against typed schemas, catching data inconsistencies at build time. Connect 10 tools through Vinkius and switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini without changing your integration code. full type safety, structured output guarantees, and dependency injection for testable agents.

What you can do

Uptime Monitoring — List, create, and manage all your HTTP, Ping, and Keyword monitors to ensure service availability.
Incident Response — Retrieve real-time updates on active incidents and historical reports for post-mortems.
On-Call Coordination — Access on-call schedules and rotations to see who is responsible for system health.
Heartbeat Management — Monitor cron jobs and recurring tasks through heartbeat monitors.
Status Page Oversight — List and verify your public status pages directly from your workspace.

The Better Stack MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Pydantic AI in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Better Stack + Pydantic AI FAQ

Common questions about integrating Better Stack MCP Server with Pydantic AI.

How does Pydantic AI discover MCP tools?

Create an MCPServerHTTP instance with the server URL. Pydantic AI connects, discovers all tools, and generates typed Python interfaces automatically.

Does Pydantic AI validate MCP tool responses?

Yes. When you define result types as Pydantic models, every tool response is validated against the schema. Invalid data raises a clear error instead of silently corrupting your pipeline.

Can I switch LLM providers without changing MCP code?

Absolutely. Pydantic AI abstracts the model layer. your Better Stack MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
