How to Use the UptimeRobot MCP in Cursor

Q: What tools can I use with Cursor to manage uptime?

You've got full control. You can listmonitors for an overview, createuptimemonitor to start tracking a new service, and getaccountinfo to check your usage limits.

Q: Can Cursor help me compare multiple monitor statuses?

Yes. Running the listmonitors tool provides pass/fail status, up ratios, and response times for all configured monitors in one output, letting you compare them side-by-side in your code context.

Q: If I delete a monitor, how do I confirm it with Cursor?

You use the deleteuptimemonitor tool. This permanently removes the monitoring job from UptimeRobot. Because this is irreversible, your agent will prompt you for confirmation before running the command.

Check Uptime Status in Code Snippets

The `list_monitors` tool lets the AI call UptimeRobot and grab pass/fail status, up ratios, and response times. You can inject this live data directly into a test script you're writing. When building an error-handling function, calling `get_monitor_details` gives you precise metrics for one monitor, making your code contextually accurate.

Automate Alert Setup in Cursor

The agent uses `create_alert_contact` to set up notification targets (Slack or Email) and then executes the API call. This means you don't switch contexts; your code writes the required setup logic. You can also write cleanup functions using `delete_uptime_monitor`, ensuring your local test environment removes old monitoring records automatically.

Update Monitor Logic via MCP Server

Need to change a URL or switch monitor types? Use `update_uptime_monitor` within your coding session. The AI generates the necessary code block that sends the update request. If you need to revert changes, `delete_alert_contact` handles the removal of notification targets, keeping your project clean and focused.

Setup guide

Set up UptimeRobot 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 UptimeRobot 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 UptimeRobot transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the UptimeRobot tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about UptimeRobot MCP in Cursor

In Agent Mode, you ask the AI to perform an action—like checking a site's status. The AI calls the MCP Server tool, gets the live data from UptimeRobot, and then injects that result directly into the code file you are currently editing.

You've got full control. You can `list_monitors` for an overview, `create_uptime_monitor` to start tracking a new service, and `get_account_info` to check your usage limits.

Yes. Running the `list_monitors` tool provides pass/fail status, up ratios, and response times for all configured monitors in one output, letting you compare them side-by-side in your code context.

The server handles monitor status and account usage. It deals with specific strings like URLs and service types (HTTP, Ping), along with numerical metrics such as up ratios and response times.

You use the `delete_uptime_monitor` tool. This permanently removes the monitoring job from UptimeRobot. Because this is irreversible, your agent will prompt you for confirmation before running the command.
