Fetch real-time service status in code.

Need to check a dependency's health before writing the final call? Use `get_check` or `list_checks` to fetch current monitoring details, and inject that live JSON response directly into your function. The AI generates working code using real API data. If you need broader context, running `get_account_info` gives you the scope of the monitored services so you can write more targeted logic.

Automate alert handling within development flows.

When a service fails, don't just log it. You can call `list_recent_alerts` to get recent failure records and write code that handles those specific types of alerts. This makes your code react instantly. To provide the full picture, you can use `get_root_cause_analysis`, pulling the critical alert information directly into a conditional block in your script.

Programmatically manage monitoring resources.

Write cleanup scripts? You can programmatically delete old endpoints using `delete_check`. Or, if you need to adjust an endpoint's behavior, running `update_check` lets you modify parameters and keep your code current. For setup or validation, the `create_check` tool allows you to generate boilerplate monitoring code that sets up a new check definition.

Setup guide

Set up Uptime.com MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Uptime.com MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Uptime.com transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Uptime.com tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "uptimecom-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }

Common questions about Uptime.com MCP in Cursor

Cursor's Agent mode calls the MCP tools, and the live API responses (like list of checks or account info) are injected directly into the code block you're writing. You never deal with mock stubs.

Absolutely. Because it uses real API responses, you can build multi-step workflows: check status, get root cause analysis, and then write code to report on both pieces of data.

You define the connection via `.cursor/mcp.json`, keeping configuration scoped to your project or machine level. This is a controlled, developer-centric environment.

This server touches Check Details and Account Profile data, allowing you to read all monitoring configuration details needed to write robust dependency checks into your code.

The constraints are related to the API permissions granted in your `.cursor/mcp.json` file, ensuring you only access the data necessary for the code you're writing.
