  • 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

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your Healthchecks.io API Key
  3. Start monitoring your background jobs from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Who is this for?

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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.
