Before you connect
Questions about Healthchecks.io.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can I use Healthchecks.io MCP to see why my cron jobs are failing?
Yes. The Connector can pull the specific body of a failed ping, which usually contains the error message or stack trace from your background worker.
How do I manage alerts during maintenance with Healthchecks.io MCP?
You can simply ask your agent to pause a specific check. This stops the monitoring and prevents your team from getting alerted while you do planned work.
Can the Healthchecks.io MCP list my notification channels?
Yes, it can list all your integrations. This is helpful for verifying that your Slack, PagerDuty, or email alerts are correctly configured.
Will Healthchecks.io MCP help me find specific checks by tags?
Yes, the capability supports filtering checks by tags. You can ask your agent to show only your production monitors or specific service groups.
Can I create new checks using the Healthchecks.io MCP?
Yes, you can tell your agent to create a new check, including details like the URL, timeout, and unique name, and it will handle the setup for you.
Does Healthchecks.io MCP work with Claude or Cursor?
Yes, it works with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf, as long as you have it connected via the Vinkius catalog.
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.
