How do I connect my Healthchecks.io account?

You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and enter your Healthchecks.io API Key. Once connected, it is ready to use in any compatible client.

Can I create new monitors using my AI agent?

Yes, you can use the create_check capability to set up new monitors with specific timeouts and names through natural language.

What happens if a task fails?

You can ask your agent to list recent pings or get the specific ping body to see the exact error or payload sent by the failing task.

Does this work with Cursor or VS Code?

Yes, this MCP works with any MCP-compatible client, including Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

Can I pause a check during maintenance?

Yes, you can tell your agent to pause a check to prevent false alerts while you work on your infrastructure.

Can I see the specific data sent during a ping to debug a failure?

Yes. Use the get_ping_body capability 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 capability. 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 capability to stop monitoring and alerts for a specific check. You can later use resume_check to start monitoring again.

Connect Healthchecks.io to ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini

Set it up once and it works in ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and any other client you love. It all runs safely in the background, so you can relax and focus on what really matters. Keep your background jobs and cron tasks running without checking dashboards.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

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.

Real work

What teams actually run

Debugging Failed Cron Jobs

When a backup fails, ask your agent to get the ping body to see the error message sent by the script.

Maintenance Mode

Pause specific checks via your agent while you perform planned database migrations or updates.

Infrastructure Auditing

Ask your agent to list all checks and their tags to ensure your monitoring coverage is complete.

Real-time Status Checks

Quickly verify if a background worker is up or down by querying its current status.

Automate a task

Put Healthchecks.io 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.

How to debug cron jobs

One connector, every AI

Healthchecks.io 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 Healthchecks.io 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.

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 13 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 Healthchecks.io, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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