## 🔍 What is Uptime Agent?
[Uptime Agent](https://uptime-agent.io) is a powerful monitoring solution that tracks your websites and API endpoints, alerting you when they go down. This MCP server extends Uptime Agent's capabilities by letting you interact with your monitoring system through AI assistants.
## 🛠️ Installation
### Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or higher
- An active Uptime Agent account
- Your Uptime Agent API key
To obtain your Uptime Agent API key:
1. Log in to your [Uptime Agent Dashboard](https://uptime-agent.io/dashboard)
2. Navigate to Account → API Keys
3. Create a new API key with appropriate permissions
4. Copy the generated key for use with the MCP server
### Option 1: Quick Install via NPM (Recommended)
The fastest way to get started is with our setup command:
```bash
npx uptime-agent-mcp setup
```
This command will:
- Install the MCP server
- Configure it for use with Claude Desktop
- Prompt you for your Uptime Agent API key
- Set up all necessary configurations automatically
### Option 2: Install via Smithery.ai
To install using Smithery.ai:
1. Create an account at [smithery.ai](https://smithery.ai)
2. Get your personal key from your Smithery account
3. Run the following command:
```bash
npx -y @smithery/cli@latest install @AVIMBU/uptime_agent_mcp --client claude --key <personal_key>
```
Replace `<personal_key>` with your actual Smithery personal key.
### Option 3: Manual Local Installation
For advanced users who want more control:
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/AVIMBU/uptime_agent_mcp.git
cd uptime_agent_mcp
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Build the project
npm run build
```
Configure with your API key by creating a `.env` file:
```
UPTIME_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
PORT=3000 # Optional, defaults to 3000
```
Start the server:
```bash
npm start
# or directly with
node dist/index.js
```
## 🤖 AI Assistant Integration
### Setting Up with Claude Desktop
After installing using one of the methods above, your MCP server is automatically configured for Claude Desktop.
If you installed manually, add the following to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"uptime-agent": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"uptime-agent-mcp"
],
"env": {
"UPTIME_API_KEY": "<YOUR_API_KEY>"
}
}
}
}
```
Alternatively, you can use Docker:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"uptime-agent": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-i",
"--rm",
"-e",
"UPTIME_API_KEY",
"uptime-agent-mcp"
],
"env": {
"UPTIME_API_KEY": "<YOUR_API_KEY>"
}
}
}
}
```
### Example Conversations
**Checking Monitors:**
> "Claude, show me all my active uptime monitors."
**Creating a New Monitor:**
> "Please create a new monitor for our API endpoint at https://api.mycompany.com/v2/health"
**Analyzing Incidents:**
> "What incidents happened on our production servers last week, and what was the average downtime?"
