Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Automate a task

Put Better Stack to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Better Stack works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Better Stack to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 10 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Better Stack, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Better Stack. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work Better Stack owners hand off.

This MCP is built for technical teams who need to bridge the gap between monitoring data and active development.

  • 01

    DevOps & SREs

    They use the agent to check monitor statuses and incident details without switching to a browser.

  • 02

    Backend Developers

    They verify heartbeat logs for scheduled tasks directly from their code editor.

  • 03

    Engineering Managers

    They pull on-call summaries and incident history for reporting purposes.

FAQ

Questions Better Stack owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect my Better Stack account?

    You just need to provide your Better Stack API Token after subscribing to the MCP on Vinkius. Once connected, your AI client can immediately start interacting with your account.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    This MCP works with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 03

    Can I manage my monitors through the AI?

    Yes, you can use the capability to list, create, update, or delete your HTTP, Ping, and Keyword monitors.

  • 04

    Can this help with on-call rotations?

    Yes, the MCP can access your on-call schedules and rotations so you can see who is responsible for system health.

  • 05

    Is this useful for monitoring cron jobs?

    Yes, you can use the heartbeat capabilities to monitor the status of recurring tasks and cron jobs.

  • 06

    Can I check if a specific website is down using the agent?

    Yes! Use the list_monitors capability to see the status of all your monitored URLs. You can also use get_monitor with a specific ID to see its current status and last checked timestamp.

  • 07

    How do I see who is currently on-call?

    Simply ask the agent to list_on_calls. It will retrieve the current schedules and rotations, showing you who is responsible for incident response right now.

  • 08

    Does the integration allow me to create a new heartbeat monitor?

    Currently, the toolset focuses on managing monitors and retrieving incident/on-call data. You can list and inspect heartbeats, but for creating new monitors with complex notification rules, we recommend using the Better Stack dashboard.
