Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Healthchecks.io MCP Server?
Connect your Healthchecks.io account to any AI agent to monitor and manage your cron jobs, background tasks, and scheduled services through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Check Management — List, create, update, and delete monitoring checks for your infrastructure
- Ping History — Inspect recent pings and payloads to debug failed tasks or verify successful executions
- Status Monitoring — Pause or resume checks and track status 'flips' (up/down transitions) over time
- Integration Overview — List configured notification channels to ensure your team is alerted correctly
- Deep Inspection — Fetch specific check metadata and ping bodies to understand exactly why a service is failing
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Healthchecks.io API Key
- Start monitoring your background jobs from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — quickly verify the health of scheduled tasks and investigate downtime without leaving the terminal
- Software Developers — check if background workers are running correctly during development and debugging
- SRE Teams — automate the auditing of monitoring coverage and integration status

Every tool call from Windsurf to the Healthchecks.io MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I see the specific data sent during a ping to debug a failure?
Yes. Use the get_ping_body tool with the check UUID and ping number to retrieve the exact payload or logs sent by your script during that execution.
How can I see the history of when my service went down?
You can use the list_flips tool. It provides a history of status changes (from 'up' to 'down' and vice versa) for any specific check within a given timeframe.
Is it possible to silence a check without deleting it?
Absolutely. Use the pause_check tool to stop monitoring and alerts for a specific check. You can later use resume_check to start monitoring again.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
