Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Healthchecks.io MCP Server?
Connect your Healthchecks.io account to any AI agent to monitor and manage your cron jobs, background tasks, and scheduled services through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Check Management — List, create, update, and delete monitoring checks for your infrastructure
- Ping History — Inspect recent pings and payloads to debug failed tasks or verify successful executions
- Status Monitoring — Pause or resume checks and track status 'flips' (up/down transitions) over time
- Integration Overview — List configured notification channels to ensure your team is alerted correctly
- Deep Inspection — Fetch specific check metadata and ping bodies to understand exactly why a service is failing
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Healthchecks.io API Key
- Start monitoring your background jobs from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — quickly verify the health of scheduled tasks and investigate downtime without leaving the terminal
- Software Developers — check if background workers are running correctly during development and debugging
- SRE Teams — automate the auditing of monitoring coverage and integration status

Why Claude Code?
Claude Code registers Healthchecks.io as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 13 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Healthchecks.io data drives decisions without human intervention.
- —
Single-command setup:
claude mcp addregisters the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart - —
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
- —
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Healthchecks.io tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
- —
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features

Frequently asked questions
Can I see the specific data sent during a ping to debug a failure?
Yes. Use the get_ping_body tool with the check UUID and ping number to retrieve the exact payload or logs sent by your script during that execution.
How can I see the history of when my service went down?
You can use the list_flips tool. It provides a history of status changes (from 'up' to 'down' and vice versa) for any specific check within a given timeframe.
Is it possible to silence a check without deleting it?
Absolutely. Use the pause_check tool to stop monitoring and alerts for a specific check. You can later use resume_check to start monitoring again.
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.
