Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Computer or cloud
  • Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: DRUMBEATS_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: DRUMBEATS_API_KEY

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet
  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • DRUMBEATS_API_KEY secret env
    Drumbeats API key (dk_...). Optional: the HTTP, SSL and DNS checks work without one.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

The server asks you to sign in before it lists its tools.

Common questions

Is Drumbeats Io MCP safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: DRUMBEATS_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.5.2) reached the registry 10 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

Drumbeats watches cron jobs, background workers and websites. When a job misses its schedule, reports a failure or a site stops answering, it opens an incident and alerts you.

This is the official Model Context Protocol server for Drumbeats. It lets Claude, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients work with your account: create monitors, read their history, report job runs and handle incidents. Three of its tools check a website, a certificate or a DNS name and work without an account.

Connect

There are two ways to run it. Both give you the same 19 tools.

Hosted server

Add https://api.drumbeats.io/mcp to your client and sign in with your Drumbeats account when it asks. Nothing to install and no API key to store.

Claude (web, Desktop and Claude Code)

In Claude, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the URL above and sign in.

In Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http drumbeats https://api.drumbeats.io/mcp

Cursor

Add this to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or to the global config, and approve the sign-in on first connect:

{

"mcpServers": { "drumbeats": { "url": "https://api.drumbeats.io/mcp" } } }

VS Code

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

{

"servers": { "drumbeats": { "type": "http", "url": "https://api.drumbeats.io/mcp" } } }

Other clients

Any client that supports Streamable HTTP with OAuth can connect. Give it the URL and it runs the sign-in (OAuth 2.1 with PKCE).

On your machine, with an API key

Create a key at drumbeats.io/account/api-keys. An account key covers every project you own or belong to. A project key limits the server to one project.

Claude Desktop

Download drumbeats-mcp-vX.Y.Z.mcpb from the latest release, open it, and paste your key when Claude Desktop asks.

Claude Code

claude mcp add drumbeats -e DRUMBEATS_API_KEY=dk_your_key -- npx -y @drumbeats/mcp

Cursor and other clients

{

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

VS Code

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

{

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

Running it with npx needs Node.js 22.

Tools

The "Needs" column is the permission the tool requires: the scope of your API key, or what you approve when you sign in to the hosted server.

Monitors and projects (9 tools)

ToolWhat it doesNeeds
list_projectsLists the projects you can access, with their alert channels and groups.read
create_projectCreates a project. Needs an account key.manage_projects
update_projectChanges a project's name or description.manage_projects
create_monitorCreates a cron, heartbeat or HTTP uptime monitor.manage_monitors
list_monitorsLists a project's monitors with their type, status and schedule.read
get_monitorShows one monitor and its full settings.read
update_monitorChanges some settings of a monitor and keeps the rest.manage_monitors
pause_monitorStops a monitor's checks and alerts.manage_monitors
resume_monitorStarts a paused monitor again.manage_monitors

Report job runs (3 tools)

ToolWhat it doesNeeds
ping_startReports that a job started and returns a run_id for its finish.manage_monitors
ping_successReports that a job finished. This is the ping that keeps a monitor up.manage_monitors
ping_failureReports that a job failed, which can open an incident and alert.manage_monitors

Each takes the monitor's id plus an optional run_id, message and payload. They do the same as calling the monitor's ping URL, which helps when an agent can't make outbound HTTP requests, as in Claude Code cloud scheduled tasks.

History and incidents (4 tools)

ToolWhat it doesNeeds
get_monitor_historyShows a monitor's recent pings, checks and response times.read
get_uptime_summaryShows uptime for every monitor in a project.read
list_incidentsLists incidents, filtered by status or monitor.read
manage_incidentShows, acknowledges or resolves an incident.manage_monitors

Checks that need no account (3 tools)

ToolWhat it does
check_httpRequests a URL and reports the status code and response time.
check_sslReads a site's TLS certificate: whether it is valid, when it expires, who issued it.
check_dnsLooks up a hostname's DNS records.

These work with no Drumbeats account or key. Add the server through npx without DRUMBEATS_API_KEY and ask whether your site is up.

Things to ask

List my monitors and tell me which ones are down.

Create a cron monitor for my nightly backup, every day at 02:00 UTC. What was my uptime over the last 30 days? Show open incidents and acknowledge the newest one. Is https://example.com up right now? When does the certificate for example.com expire?

Configuration

These apply when you run the server with npx. The hosted server needs none of them.

VariableDefaultWhat it does
DRUMBEATS_API_KEYnoneYour API key (dk_…). Needed for every tool except the three checks.
DRUMBEATS_API_TIMEOUT_MS15000How long to wait for the Drumbeats API, in milliseconds.
DRUMBEATS_API_BASE_URLhttps://api.drumbeats.ioThe API the server talks to.

Development

Use the Node.js version in .nvmrc.

npm ci          # install dependencies

npm run build # compile to dist/ npm run lint # Biome lint and format check npm test # run the tests
