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.

After making configuration updates, tell your agent to activate the changes to apply them to the monitoring core.

Verify connectivity and monitoring coverage across different sites by querying host lists.

Automate a task

Put Checkmk 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

Checkmk 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 Checkmk 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. 8 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 Checkmk, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

  • 02

    DevOps Engineers

    Check service states and infrastructure status within their development environment.

FAQ

Questions Checkmk owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect my Checkmk site to my AI client?

    You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and provide your Checkmk credentials, including the Automation Secret and Server URL. Once connected, you can use it in any MCP-compatible client.

  • 02

    Can I actually change my monitoring configuration through the AI?

    Yes, you can use the capability to activate pending configuration changes that have already been staged in your Checkmk site.

  • 03

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

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

  • 04

    Do I need to use the Checkmk web interface for troubleshooting?

    Not necessarily. You can retrieve host details and service plugin outputs directly through your agent to diagnose issues.

  • 05

    Is my Checkmk data secure?

    Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages the credentials, ensuring a secure connection between your AI client and your Checkmk site.

  • 06

    Can I see failing services across all my hosts?

    Yes! Use the list_all_monitored_services capability. The agent will return a comprehensive list of services, and you can ask it to filter for those in CRITICAL or WARNING states.

  • 07

    How do I apply changes I made in WATO through the agent?

    Use the activate_checkmk_changes capability. Your agent will trigger the activation process in Checkmk, pushing all pending configurations to the monitoring core.

  • 08

    Where do I find my Checkmk Automation Secret?

    Log in to your Checkmk site, go to 'Setup' -> 'Users', and edit your automation user. You will see the 'Automation secret' field there.
