Healthchecks.io MCP

Unofficial, unaffiliated with Healthchecks.io.This is a third-party MCP server, not an official Healthchecks.io product.

Healthchecks.iois a "dead man's switch" style monitoring service: your scheduled jobs (cron jobs, backups, batch scripts, anything that's supposed to run on a schedule) ping it when they run, and Healthchecks.io alerts you if a ping doesn't show up on time — meaning the job silently failed or never ran.

This package is anMCP server— a small local program that lets an AI assistant like Claude talk to Healthchecks.io'sManagement APIon your behalf. Once it's set up, you can ask your AI assistant things like "list my Healthchecks.io checks," "show me the ping history for my backup job," or "pause monitoring for my staging environment" in plain English, and it will call the right Healthchecks.io API endpoint for you.
- Log in tohealthchecks.io(or your self-hosted instance, see below).
- Go to your project'sSettingspage, then theAPI Accesstab.
- You'll see two keys: aread-onlykey and aread-writekey.

{ "mcpServers": { "healthchecks-io": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@digitalronin/healthchecks-io-mcp"], "env": { "HEALTHCHECKS_API_KEY": "your-key-here" } } } }

Replace"your-key-here"with the API key from step 1. Restart your MCP client (or reload its MCP connections) after saving this — most clients only pick up new/changed servers on restart.

Once connected, just ask your AI assistant something like:

- "List all my Healthchecks.io checks"
- "Show me the ping history for my nightly-backup check"
- "Is my staging-cron check currently failing?"

If it responds with real data from your account, you're set up correctly.

Healthchecks.io API keys are scoped per project, so a single server entry only ever talks to one project. To work with more than one, register the server multiple times under different names, each with its own key:

{ "mcpServers": { "healthchecks-io-personal": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@digitalronin/healthchecks-io-mcp"], "env": { "HEALTHCHECKS_API_KEY": "personal-project-key-here" } }, "healthchecks-io-work": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@digitalronin/healthchecks-io-mcp"], "env": { "HEALTHCHECKS_API_KEY": "work-project-key-here" } } } }

Each entry runs its own process holding a single key, and MCP clients namespace tools by server name, so you can tell which project a tool call is hitting.

Healthchecks.io is open source, and some people run their own instance instead of using the hosted SaaS service at healthchecks.io. If that's you, add a second environment variable pointing at your instance's API root:

"env": { "HEALTHCHECKS_API_KEY": "your-key-here", "HEALTHCHECKS_BASE_URL": "https://monitoring.example.com/api/v3" }

The URL must be the full API root,including the/api/v3path segment, withno trailing slash— e.g.https://monitoring.example.com/api/v3, nothttps://monitoring.example.comorhttps://monitoring.example.com/api/v3/. Getting this wrong will make every tool call fail with a "not found" error, since the server appends paths like/checks/directly onto whatever you set here. If you leaveHEALTHCHECKS_BASE_URLunset, it defaults to the realhttps://healthchecks.io/api/v3.

If your self-hosted instance isn't behind HTTPS, the server will print a warning (but still run) — your API key is sent as a request header on every call, so anhttp://URL means that key travels in plaintext over the network to your instance.

This server exposes 11 "tools" that your AI assistant can call. They fall into two groups:

Read tools— safe, look-up-only, never change anything:

Mutating tools— these change things in your account, and all of them require aread-writeAPI key:

For each tool, this table gives its underlying Healthchecks.io API endpoint:
