Watchpup MCP server

• ack_incidentFree

  Mark an ongoing incident as "someone is on it" — pauses still-down reminder alerts for that monitor until recovery. Set un=true to un-acknowledge (re-arms reminders).

• add_incident_noteFree

  Attach/replace a note (max 500 chars) on an incident. Notes publish with the incident on public status pages, their JSON and the Atom feed. Empty string clears.

• check_urlFree

  Check any public URL RIGHT NOW: is it up, HTTP status, response time in ms. With kind:"mcp" it instead performs a real JSON-RPC initialize handshake against a streamable-HTTP MCP server endpoint and reports the server’s self-declared name/version/protocol — useful to tell "the MCP server is down" from "my client is misconfigured". Works without an API key (rate limit 30/hour per IP). For continuous monitoring with alerts, use create_monitor.

• create_monitorwrite actionFree

  Create a monitor. kind=http (needs url), tcp (target "host:port"), tls (target host[:port] — cert-expiry watch), domain (target — registration-expiry via RDAP), dns (target + rtype A/AAAA/MX/... , optional expect_value), heartbeat (dead-man’s switch for cron jobs/agent loops: needs name; response includes ping_url to curl from the job, and a ping_email address). Common options: name, interval (seconds, min 60), tags. http options: expect ("2xx,301"), keyword, keyword_absent:"absent", slow_ms (number or "auto"), method, headers, body, json_path/json_expect, header_name/header_expect. heartbeat options: grace (seconds), cron ("0 3 * * *") + tz, max_duration_s. Any other documented field (see /llms.txt) also works — extra properties are passed through.

• delete_monitorwrite actionFree

  Permanently delete a monitor and all its check history, events and rollups. Cannot be undone.

• get_accountFree

  Who am I: account email, monitor count/limit, plan limits. Good first call to verify the API key works.

• get_monitorFree

  Full detail for one monitor: status, config, 24h latency percentiles and trend (http/tcp), SLA budget if a target is set. Heartbeat monitors include their ping_url and ping_email.

• get_status_pageFree

  Machine-readable state of any public Watchpup status page by slug: per-monitor status, uptime, incidents last 30d. No API key needed.

• list_channelsFree

  Alert delivery channels on the account (email / webhook / Discord / Slack / ntfy / Telegram), their verification state and delivery health.

• list_incidentsFree

  Downtime incidents (ongoing and resolved) across all monitors: start, duration, cause, acknowledgement, notes.

• list_monitorsFree

  List all monitors on the account: current up/down status, kind, target, interval, last check. Optionally filter by tag.

• update_monitorwrite actionFree

  PATCH any monitor field: name, url, target, interval, expect, keyword, slow_ms, grace, cron, tags, sla_target, renotify, channels (alert routing)... Pause with {"status":"paused"}, resume with {"status":"new"}. Empty string clears optional fields.
