What can you do with this server?

Drumbeats MCP is an MCP server that lets you manage uptime and heartbeat monitoring, triage incidents, and run on-demand diagnostics from any MCP-capable AI client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, etc.). Projects & Monitors * List/create/update projects — view all projects accessible via your API key, create new ones, or rename/update descriptions * Create monitors — set up cron job (JOB_CRON), event-driven (JOB_BASIC), heartbeat (JOB_HEARTBEAT), or HTTP uptime (UPTIME_HTTP) monitors with alert channels/groups * List/get/update monitors — view all monitors in a project, fetch full config for a single monitor, or partially update settings * Pause/resume monitors — stop or restart checks and alert notifications Observability & Incident Triage * Monitor history — retrieve recent pings, warnings, uptime check results, and response time stats * Uptime summary — get a project-wide SLA/uptime rollup across all uptime monitors for a given time window * List & manage incidents — browse downtime and missed-run incidents (filterable by status: OPEN, ACKNOWLEDGED, RESOLVED), then get details, acknowledge, or resolve them Diagnostics (no account required) * HTTP check — verify reachability, status code, response time, and redirect chain for any HTTP(S) URL * SSL check — inspect a host's TLS/SSL certificate for validity, expiry date, issuer, and chain status * DNS check — resolve a hostname to its A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, and NS records

How do I use Drumbeats MCP?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Drumbeats MCP Create a heartbeat monitor for my nightly backup job" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Drumbeats MCP

npm License: Apache-2.0 drumbeats-io/mcp MCP server

The official Model Context Protocol server for Drumbeats — run your monitoring from any AI client. Create monitors, triage incidents, and run HTTP / SSL / DNS checks in plain language from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or any MCP-capable tool.

What is Drumbeats?

Drumbeats is heartbeat and uptime monitoring for background jobs and services — cron jobs, queues, scheduled tasks, and HTTP endpoints. If a job stops checking in or a site goes down, Drumbeats alerts you. Create a free account at drumbeats.io.

Related MCP server: uptrack-mcp

Install

Add the server to your AI client and set one environment variable — your Drumbeats account API key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "drumbeats": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@drumbeats/mcp"],
      "env": { "DRUMBEATS_API_KEY": "dk_your_key" }
    }
  }
}

Get a key — at drumbeats.io → Account → API keys. An account-scoped key (dk_…) works across every project you own or belong to.
Add the config — paste the block above into your client's MCP config and restart it.
Ask — "List my monitors."

Claude Desktop: prefer a one-click install — download the latest .mcpb bundle from the Releases page, double-click it, and paste your key when prompted.

Requires Node.js 22 when running via npx.

Tools

Sixteen tools over one shared layer. The HTTP / SSL / DNS diagnostics work with no account and no API key — point any client at the server and start checking.

Projects & monitors

Tool	What it does
`list_projects`	List the projects your key can access (with notification channels and groups).
`create_project`	Create a new project (account-scoped key with `manage_projects`).
`update_project`	Update a project's name or description (partial patch).
`create_monitor`	Create a monitor — cron, heartbeat, or HTTP uptime.
`list_monitors`	List a project's monitors with type, status, and schedule.
`get_monitor`	Fetch one monitor by id, with its full configuration.
`update_monitor`	Update an existing monitor (partial patch).
`pause_monitor`	Pause a monitor (stops checks and alerts).
`resume_monitor`	Resume a paused monitor.

Observe & triage

Tool	What it does
`get_monitor_history`	Recent pings, checks, and response times for a monitor.
`get_uptime_summary`	Project-wide uptime / SLA rollup across monitors.
`list_incidents`	List incidents (downtime and missed runs), filterable by status or monitor.
`manage_incident`	Get, acknowledge, or resolve an incident.

Diagnostics — no account required

Tool	What it does
`check_http`	Check a URL's reachability, status code, and response time.
`check_ssl`	Inspect a TLS certificate — validity, expiry, and issuer.
`check_dns`	Resolve a hostname and report its DNS records.

Example prompts

List all my monitors and their current status.
Create a cron monitor for my nightly backup that runs every day at 02:00 UTC.
What's my uptime this month?
Show me open incidents and acknowledge the most recent one.
Is https://example.com up right now?            # no account needed
Is the SSL certificate for example.com about to expire?   # no account needed

Try it with zero setup

The check_http, check_ssl, and check_dns tools need no Drumbeats account or API key. Add the server, leave DRUMBEATS_API_KEY unset, and ask "Is my site up?" before you sign up. When you're ready for continuous monitoring and alerts, create a free account.

Configuration

Variable	Required	Default	Description
`DRUMBEATS_API_KEY`	For the monitoring tools	—	Account-scoped key (`dk_…`). Not needed for the diagnostics tools.
`DRUMBEATS_API_BASE_URL`	No	`https://api.drumbeats.io`	The apex REST URL. The Drumbeats API is split across services by path prefix (`/id`, `/beats`, `/alerts`); the client appends the per-service prefix to this apex per request.
`DRUMBEATS_ID_BASE_URL`	No	`${apex}/id`	Self-host override: full base URL for the `id` service.
`DRUMBEATS_BEATS_BASE_URL`	No	`${apex}/beats`	Self-host override: full base URL for the `beats` service.
`DRUMBEATS_ALERTS_BASE_URL`	No	`${apex}/alerts`	Self-host override: full base URL for the `alerts` service.

Development

Requires the Node version in .nvmrc.

npm ci          # install dependencies
npm run build   # compile TypeScript to dist/
npm run lint    # Biome lint + format check
npm test        # run the test suite
