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.

FAQ

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.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
