Frequently asked questions
Can I check if a specific website is down using the agent?
Yes! Use the list_monitors tool to see the status of all your monitored URLs. You can also use get_monitor with a specific ID to see its current status and last checked timestamp.
How do I see who is currently on-call?
Simply ask the agent to list_on_calls. It will retrieve the current schedules and rotations, showing you who is responsible for incident response right now.
Does the integration allow me to create a new heartbeat monitor?
Currently, the toolset focuses on managing monitors and retrieving incident/on-call data. You can list and inspect heartbeats, but for creating new monitors with complex notification rules, we recommend using the Better Stack dashboard.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
