Gatus (Health Dashboard)

What is the Gatus (Health Dashboard) MCP Server?

Connect your Gatus health dashboard to any AI agent to monitor your services and infrastructure through natural conversation.

What you can do

  • Global Visibility — List all monitored endpoints and their current health status across your entire infrastructure.
  • Deep Health Inspection — Drill down into specific services to see recent results and status history using slugified keys.
  • Performance Statistics — Retrieve performance metrics for individual endpoints to identify latency or reliability issues.
  • Metrics Export — Access raw Prometheus-compatible metrics for deep technical analysis and custom reporting.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your Gatus instance URL
  3. Start monitoring your system health from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

No more manual dashboard checking. Your AI acts as a 24/7 SRE assistant, providing instant insights into your service availability.

Who is this for?

  • DevOps Engineers — quickly audit service health and retrieve raw metrics without leaving the terminal or IDE.
  • SRE Teams — investigate performance regressions and endpoint history through natural language queries.
  • Product Owners — get high-level status reports on system availability during incidents.

Why Cursor?

Cursor's Agent mode turns Gatus (Health Dashboard) into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Gatus (Health Dashboard) and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 4 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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Can I see the status of all my services at once?

Yes! Use the list_endpoints tool to retrieve a complete list of all configured endpoints and their current health status across your Gatus instance.

02

How do I check the performance history of a specific service?

You can use get_endpoint_stats with the endpoint's slugified key to see detailed performance statistics, or get_endpoint_health for recent health check results.

03

Does this server provide raw metrics for analysis?

Yes, the get_metrics tool retrieves raw Prometheus-compatible metrics exported by Gatus, allowing your AI to perform deep technical analysis.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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.

07

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.

08

Tools not appearing in Cursor

Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.

09

Server shows as disconnected

Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
