Before you connect
Questions about Better Stack.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can I use the Better Stack MCP to see who is on call?
Yes. You can ask your agent to pull the current rotation so you know exactly who is responsible for the system at any time.
Does the Better Stack MCP work for my cron jobs?
Yes. It can list all your heartbeat monitors so you can check if recurring tasks are running correctly.
Can I create new monitors with this Connector?
Yes. You can tell your agent to set up a new uptime monitor for any URL or service you need to track.
How do I see my public status pages?
You can ask your agent to list all your public status pages to verify that your public updates are accurate.
Can I get details on a specific outage?
Yes. Your agent can pull the specific details of an active incident, which is helpful for quick triage and post-mortems.
Is this Connector good for SRE teams?
Yes. It helps SREs quickly access incident history and on-call schedules without needing to navigate complex dashboards during high-pressure events.
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.
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.
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.
