What is the Better Stack MCP Server?
Connect your Better Stack (Better Uptime) account to any AI agent and empower it to act as your Level 1 Site Reliability Engineer (SRE). Let your AI diagnose incidents, manage escalations, and audit monitoring configs securely via conversation.
What you can do
- Incident Response — Rapidly list firing incidents, inspect technical downtime payloads, acknowledge alerts, and force resolve states inline
- Uptime Monitors — Fetch exact definitions of active HTTP endpoint pings, DNS probes, and latency constraints across your fleet
- Cron Heartbeats — Investigate passive tracking endpoints validating background workers and server limits
- On-Call Management — Expose active shifts and team schedules to determine explicitly who is getting paged in real-time
- Status Pages — Read configured public dashboards tracking your global infrastructure
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Better Stack API Token
- Empower Claude, Cursor, or your preferred agent to respond to alerts interactively
Stop switching context between your terminal and incident dashboards during critical outages.
Who is this for?
- DevOps & SREs — audit on-call matrices safely, track firing pages, and orchestrate initial debugging workflows without leaving chat
- Engineering Managers — review recent downtime timelines and resolve dormant alerts quickly
- Backend Developers — rapidly debug failing cron heartbeats while simultaneously patching code

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically acknowledge an incident so my phone stops ringing?
Yes! Running the acknowledge_incident capability pushes a verified API command halting escalation cycles (like SMS and phone calls) natively while you debug.
Is it possible to see the exact HTTP response body or headers that caused a monitor to fail?
Yes, pulling details via get_incident exposes the raw nested trace containing the root cause payloads and server errors Better Stack historically received when the check failed.
Can the agent create new monitors automatically?
No. The integration focuses safely on observation, alerting resolution, and tracking currently. Creation endpoints represent mutation vectors decoupled to ensure you preserve billing and account structure intentionally.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
