How to Use the Uptime.com MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: What if I need to update my Uptime.com settings with OpenAI Agents SDK?

The agent executes the updatecheck tool against the MCP Server. You specify which check needs changing and what the new parameters should be, making sure the change is applied correctly.

Q: Can I view past alerts using Uptime.com and OpenAI Agents SDK?

Yes. Your agent can call listrecentalerts to pull a list of recent downtime events. It also accesses detailed data via getrootcauseanalysis for deep insights.

MCP Server: Manage Service Checks

Use the MCP Server to monitor website and API uptime from over 30 global locations. You can quickly check status, then use `list_checks` to get a full inventory of every monitored service. Need to change monitoring parameters? Just call `update_check`. If something fails completely, you'll need to delete it using `delete_check`.

Check Historical Service Performance

Understand how your services performed over time. Agents pull check statistics using `get_check_stats` and review recent issues with `list_recent_alerts`. This helps you figure out what went wrong after a downtime. For deeper analysis, the server runs root cause analysis via `get_root_cause_analysis`, giving context beyond just an alert.

Manage Infrastructure and Integrations

Keep track of your whole setup. You can list all active integrations with `list_integrations` or see which global nodes are reporting data using `list_monitoring_nodes`. This helps you know the scope of what's being monitored. Also, get a full view of your account details by calling `get_account_info` before starting any changes.

Setup guide

Set up Uptime.com MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
openai-agents package (pip install openai-agents)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install the SDK

Run pip install openai-agents to install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed.
2

Connect via SSE transport

Use MCPServerSse with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. The SDK auto-discovers all Uptime.com tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives Uptime.com tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate Uptime.com tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.

agent.py

import asyncio
from agents import Agent, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerSse

async def main():
    async with MCPServerSse(
        url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ) as server:
        agent = Agent(
            name="Uptime.com Agent",
            instructions="You have access to Uptime.com tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())
