Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Cronitor (Cron Monitoring) MCP Server?
Connect Cronitor to your AI agent to gain full visibility into your background jobs, heartbeats, and website uptime through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Monitor Management — List, create, and update monitors for cron jobs, heartbeats, and health checks across your entire infrastructure.
- Real-time Telemetry — Send pings and job state updates (run, complete, fail) directly to track execution lifecycles.
- Performance Insights — Query metrics, aggregates, and site analytics to understand latency, success rates, and system health.
- Incident Response — Track active issues, manage status pages, and create maintenance windows to silence alerts during deployments.
- Infrastructure Control — Organize monitors into groups, manage notification settings, and audit API keys.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Cronitor API Key
- Start monitoring your stack from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more jumping between dashboards to check if your nightly backups finished or why a heartbeat is missing. Your AI acts as a 24/7 SRE assistant.
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — instantly check monitor statuses and silence alerts during maintenance without leaving the terminal.
- Backend Developers — verify cron job performance and send telemetry pings directly from the code editor.
- SRE & Ops Leads — manage status pages and track incident history across multiple environments.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Cronitor (Cron Monitoring) into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Cronitor (Cron Monitoring) and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 44 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
How can I manually signal that a job has finished successfully?
You can use the send_telemetry tool. Provide the monitor_key and set the state to 'complete'. This will immediately update Cronitor with the job's success status.
Is it possible to silence alerts for a specific monitor during maintenance?
Yes! Use the pause_monitor tool with the monitor_key and the number of hours you want to pause it. Alternatively, use create_maintenance_window for broader scheduling.
How do I check for recent errors on my monitored websites?
Use the get_site_errors tool. It retrieves the most recent error logs and failure details for a specific site monitor, helping you debug downtime quickly.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
