How to analyze endpoint performance with your AI

Connect Gatus to your AI client once. From then on, you can query your service health data using natural language.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can I check my service health with my AI?

Yes. Your AI uses the Gatus MCP to pull specific endpoint statistics like latency and success rates. You'll get a clear view of how your services are behaving through your chat interface.

The outcomes

What your AI finds

The AI turns raw Gatus data into clear answers.

TRENDS

Spot latency shifts

The AI looks at historical endpoint data to tell you if response times are creeping up. You'll see exactly which services are slowing down.

HEALTH

Identify reliability drops

Your agent monitors success rates and failure counts. It flags when an endpoint stops meeting your health checks.

SUMMARY

Get service overviews

Instead of clicking through dashboards, ask for a summary of all critical endpoints. The AI aggregates the stats for you.

HUMAN

Decide on fixes

The AI identifies the problem, but you decide how to fix the underlying code or infrastructure. It provides the evidence you need to act.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for stats.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat window and your Gatus dashboard.

  1. Fetch data

    The AI reaches into Gatus to grab the latest metrics for the endpoints you mention.

    get_endpoint_stats

  2. Calculate trends

    It compares current latency and error rates against recent history to find patterns.

    get_endpoint_stats

  3. Filter results

    The AI narrows down the data to show only the specific services or error types you're asking about.

    get_endpoint_stats

  4. Report findings

    Your agent translates the raw numbers into a plain English explanation of your service health.

    get_endpoint_stats

    Can the AI change my Gatus configurations?

    No. The AI can only read endpoint statistics. It cannot modify your health checks or settings.

  • 02

    Does the AI delete any of my data?

    No. The AI has no permission to delete or alter any data within Gatus.

  • 03

    How does the AI get the latency numbers?

    It uses the get_endpoint_stats tool to pull the latest metrics directly from your Gatus instance.

  • 04

    Can I use this with Claude?

    Yes, you can use this with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 05
