# UptimeRobot

> UptimeRobot monitors websites, APIs, servers, DNS, and services from a global checker network. It records up/down state and response times, opens incidents when targets fail, and sends alerts through configurable contacts (email, SMS, Slack, webhooks, and more). A remote MCP server exposes the full monitor lifecycle to AI agents.

UptimeRobot plans are Free, Solo, Team, and Enterprise. Monitor-type availability, minimum interval, and monitor counts depend on the active plan. The MCP server enforces plan limits and returns error code `-28002` when a request exceeds them.

## MCP

- [MCP server](https://mcp.uptimerobot.com/mcp): Remote HTTP MCP endpoint. Connect via `mcp-remote` (`npx -y mcp-remote@latest https://mcp.uptimerobot.com/mcp`) and authorize through the OAuth browser flow on first use — no API key to paste. (Headless/CI can use an `Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>` header instead.)
- [AGENTS.md](https://uptimerobot.com/AGENTS.md): Tool inventory, monitor types, time-range formats, error codes, and agent conventions.
- [Plugin repo](https://github.com/uptimerobot/ai): Source of truth for the Claude Code / Cursor plugin, skills, and this file.
- [Setup skill](https://uptimerobot.com/skills/setup/SKILL.md): One-time steps to connect and authorize Claude Code with UptimeRobot via OAuth.

## Quick Monitor Setup (no account)

- [Quick Monitor Setup guide](https://uptimerobot.com/quick-monitor-setup/): Create a forever-free 5-minute HTTPS monitor for someone using only their email, no account or API key. The owner confirms via a one-click activation email.
