What you can do with this MCP connector
HetrixTools MCP Server lets your AI agent act like a dedicated System Administrator for your infrastructure. You'll check site uptime and manage IP blacklists right through your chat. You can list all active uptime checks and get detailed, historical reports showing service availability using list_uptime_monitors and list_uptime_reports. You can also create a new uptime monitor for a specific target, like a website or API endpoint, with add_uptime_monitor, and delete old ones with delete_uptime_monitor.
You can run instant, on-demand checks to see if a domain or IPv4 address is listed on global blacklists by calling check_domain_blacklist or check_ip_blacklist. To see all the IP and domain addresses you're tracking for blacklisting, run list_blacklist_monitors. You can change the operational mode of an uptime monitor using set_maintenance_mode, which lets you pause alerts when you're making changes.
You can also manage your alerts by retrieving a list of all configured contacts that get failure notifications with list_contact_lists. You'll always know where you stand with get_account_usage, which gives you your current API and resource consumption stats. Need to see what bulk reports the service generated? Use list_bulk_reports. You can also list all the contact lists using list_contact_lists.
How HetrixTools MCP Works
- 1 Subscribe to the server and input your HetrixTools API Token.
- 2 Your AI client authenticates and gains access to the monitoring tools.
- 3 You issue a command (e.g., 'Check 1.2.3.4 blacklist status') and the agent executes the necessary tool call.
The bottom line is that your AI client handles the API calls and data processing, letting you run complex infrastructure audits using simple chat commands.
Who Is HetrixTools MCP For?
This is for the DevOps Engineer who needs to check server health and IP reputation without leaving their terminal. It’s for the System Administrator who needs to audit domain blacklists and the Website Owner who needs instant reports on service interruptions. It centralizes monitoring into chat.
Runs list_uptime_monitors to check overall server health and uses set_maintenance_mode to pause alerts during deployments.
Runs check_domain_blacklist and check_ip_blacklist to audit the reputation of IPs and domains before a campaign launch.
Uses list_contact_lists and list_uptime_monitors to manage who gets alerts and what services are being watched.
What Changes When You Connect
- See instant blacklisting status for any IP or domain using
check_ip_blacklistorcheck_domain_blacklist. You don't wait for a dashboard refresh; you get the status directly in the chat. - Track service health with
list_uptime_monitors. You see the current status of every critical endpoint in one command, avoiding manual dashboard navigation. - Control false alerts by using
set_maintenance_mode. You can put a monitor into maintenance mode without needing to log into the web portal and toggle switches. - Keep an eye on costs with
get_account_usage. You see your API and resource limits immediately, preventing unexpected overages. - Review historical performance with
list_uptime_reports. You get detailed, paginated reports on past failures, which is better than looking at a single status number. - Manage alert recipients with
list_contact_lists. You ensure that if a service fails, the right person gets the notification, and you manage that list right here.
Real-World Use Cases
Investigating a recent outage
A website owner gets an alert about downtime. Instead of logging into the monitoring dashboard, they ask their agent to run list_uptime_reports for the affected service. The agent pulls the detailed report, showing exactly when the failure started and providing the error log context.
Auditing a new campaign's target IP
A security analyst needs to ensure their campaign target IP is clean. They prompt the agent to run check_ip_blacklist against the IP. The agent scans 90+ blacklists and reports the status (e.g., CLEAN) instantly, confirming readiness before deployment.
Pausing monitoring during maintenance
A DevOps engineer needs to update a database endpoint. They run set_maintenance_mode on the specific monitor ID. The agent confirms the change, stopping all false alerts during the update window without requiring UI interaction.
Scaling up monitoring coverage
A system administrator needs to track 10 new services. They first use list_uptime_monitors to check the current count, then use add_uptime_monitor to add the new targets, streamlining the entire setup process via chat.
The Tradeoffs
Manually checking status dashboards
Opening the HetrixTools website and clicking through multiple tabs—Uptime, Blacklists, Reports—just to find one status or check one report. This is slow and tedious.
→
Use the agent. Ask it to list_uptime_monitors for a quick overview, or run check_domain_blacklist for a single domain status. Keep all checks in the chat.
Forgetting to update alerts
A team member updates a service and forgets to tell the monitoring system, leading to the system sending false alerts to the entire team for a few hours.
→
Use set_maintenance_mode immediately. You can toggle the mode and tell the agent to confirm the change, avoiding alert noise while you work.
Running large, unpaginated reports
Trying to pull a year's worth of historical uptime data from a web UI, which often times out or only shows the last 30 days, leaving you with incomplete data.
→
Use list_uptime_reports. It handles large data sets and gives you paginated results, ensuring you get the full history without hitting limits.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this server if your primary job is auditing system health and external reputation. You need to check if a website is up, if an IP is clean, or what the history of failures looks like. If you spend time manually switching between monitoring dashboards or running command-line tools for availability checks, this is for you. Don't use it if you need complex data analysis (e.g., correlating uptime with CPU usage) or if you are primarily managing user accounts. For basic user management, you'd just use a simple messaging tool. For deep metric analysis, look for a dedicated time-series database connection. This server keeps the scope narrow: availability and reputation checks.

Available Capabilities
Checking service status shouldn't require logging into three different dashboards.
Today, checking if a website is up requires a painful ritual: you open the monitoring dashboard, navigate to the specific service, check the status widget, then if it's down, you have to jump to the reports tab to see when it went down. If you need to check a blacklist, you open a second tab, log in again, and run a separate check. It's a lot of clicking, and you lose time switching contexts.
With HetrixTools MCP, you just ask your agent. You tell it, 'What's the status of the API endpoint?' and it runs the checks. You get the status, the history, and the blacklist report—all in the chat. No dashboard hopping required.
HetrixTools MCP Server: Check server health and blacklists in chat.
Before this server, if you needed to pause monitoring for a scheduled update, you had to find the right monitor ID, navigate to the settings, and manually toggle the maintenance switch. This was easy to forget, leading to false alerts the second you were done.
Now, you just tell your agent to `set_maintenance_mode` for the ID. It updates the status immediately and confirms it. The process is dead simple and keeps your workflow right where you are.
