How to Use the Healthchecks.io MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I register the Healthchecks.io MCP Server in Mastra AI?

Instantiate the MCPClient from @mastra/mcp with the Vinkius URL. Spread the retrieved tools into your Mastra agent configuration to give it control over your monitors.

Q: Can Mastra AI trigger workflows based on Healthchecks.io status changes?

Yes, your workflow can poll getstatus or listchecks to detect failures. When a check fails, the workflow branches to execute your custom recovery code.

Q: How does the Healthchecks.io MCP Server support Mastra AI human-in-the-loop approvals?

Mastra AI allows you to set requireToolApproval on destructive tools like deletecheck. Your agent will pause and wait for your confirmation before deleting any active monitor.

Automate Recovery Workflows with Mastra AI

The `get_check` tool retrieves the current health state of any specific background job in your system. This allows your Mastra AI agent to use this MCP Server to initiate automated recovery pipelines the moment a cron job misses its heartbeat window. If a critical database backup fails, the workflow uses `list_integrations` to find the correct Slack or PagerDuty channel. The agent then routes the failure details to the right team without human intervention.

Self-Healing Cron Job Registration

The `create_check` tool registers new background tasks automatically during your infrastructure provisioning steps. Your Mastra AI agent checks if a monitor exists, and if not, creates it with defined grace periods. When a deployment script spins up a new worker, the agent uses `update_check` to configure the expected execution intervals. This ensures every new background process is monitored from its very first run.

Diagnostic Gathering and Safe Pausing

The `get_ping_body` tool fetches the console output or error logs sent during the last failed execution. The agent reads this log to diagnose memory limits or database timeouts before attempting an automated container restart. If the agent detects a persistent infrastructure outage, it executes `pause_check` using the MCP Server to silence the alert storm. Once the Mastra AI workflow verifies the system is healthy, it calls `resume_check` to turn monitoring back on.

Setup guide

Set up Healthchecks.io MCP in Mastra AI

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
@mastra/mcp + @mastra/core packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run npm install @mastra/mcp @mastra/core plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Configure the MCPClient
Create an MCPClient with your Vinkius endpoint as a URL object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and inject tools
Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the result into your agent's tools object. All Healthchecks.io tools become native Mastra tools.
4

Run with any model
Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK-compatible provider. Call agent.generate() and the agent routes tool calls through MCP automatically.

agent.ts

import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
  id: "healthchecksio-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "healthchecksio-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "Healthchecks.io Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to Healthchecks.io tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent Healthchecks.io transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);
