# DevHelm MCP Server

<!-- mcp-name: io.github.devhelmhq/mcp-server -->

[Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) (MCP) server for [DevHelm](https://devhelm.io) — gives AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, etc.) access to your uptime monitors, incidents, alerting, and more.

## Quick Start

### Hosted (recommended)

Use the hosted server at `mcp.devhelm.io`. Two connection modes:

**Bearer auth:**
```
URL: https://mcp.devhelm.io/mcp
Authorization: Bearer <your-api-token>
```

**API key in URL** (for clients that only accept a URL):
```
URL: https://mcp.devhelm.io/<your-api-token>/mcp
```

### Local (stdio)

```bash
pip install devhelm-mcp-server
export DEVHELM_API_TOKEN=your-token
devhelm-mcp-server
```

Or with `uvx` (no install required):

```bash
export DEVHELM_API_TOKEN=your-token
uvx devhelm-mcp-server
```

### Cursor / Claude Desktop

Add to your MCP config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "devhelm": {
      "url": "https://mcp.devhelm.io/<your-api-token>/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

C2.9/5.0

Scored across 129 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Tools are generally clearly distinct by resource type, and descriptions explicitly differentiate similar concepts like service incidents, workspace incidents, and status page incidents. However, the sheer volume and several near-synonyms (e.g., get_service_uptime vs get_component_uptime, create_maintenance_window vs create_status_page_maintenance) could still cause occasional misselection.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (list_, get_, create_, update_, delete_, etc.) with clear resource prefixes like service, monitor, incident, status_page, and maintenance_window. Even oddities like acquire_deploy_lock or reorder_status_page_layout still start with strong action verbs, and there is no mixing of naming conventions.

Tool Count1/5

129 tools is far beyond the extreme threshold for a coherent MCP tool surface. While each tool may be individually useful, the count makes the server unwieldy and closer to a full admin API than a curated agent toolset.

Completeness4/5

The server covers an exceptionally broad domain with CRUD operations for monitors, incidents, status pages, maintenance windows, alert channels, webhooks, API keys, secrets, tags, environments, resource groups, and dependencies. Minor gaps exist, such as no update or delete operation for workspace incidents and no unrevoke for API keys, but these are edge cases.
