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 teams choose Vinkius for Cronitor (Cron Monitoring) in OpenAI Agents SDK
The Cronitor (Cron Monitoring) MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 44 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in OpenAI Agents SDK only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.
* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
How Vinkius secures
Cronitor (Cron Monitoring) for OpenAI Agents SDK
Every tool call from OpenAI Agents SDK to the Cronitor (Cron Monitoring) MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
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.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
