Spec Driven Development
MCP Server that facilitates spec-driven development workflows, not just Vibe Coding.
Description from the maker (original English)
Manage Drumbeats cron, heartbeat and uptime monitors, report job runs and handle incidents.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

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.

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.

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.
There are two ways to run it. Both give you the same 19 tools.
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).
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.
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)
| Tool | What it does | Needs |
|---|---|---|
list_projects | Lists the projects you can access, with their alert channels and groups. | read |
create_project | Creates a project. Needs an account key. | manage_projects |
update_project | Changes a project's name or description. | manage_projects |
create_monitor | Creates a cron, heartbeat or HTTP uptime monitor. | manage_monitors |
list_monitors | Lists a project's monitors with their type, status and schedule. | read |
get_monitor | Shows one monitor and its full settings. | read |
update_monitor | Changes some settings of a monitor and keeps the rest. | manage_monitors |
pause_monitor | Stops a monitor's checks and alerts. | manage_monitors |
resume_monitor | Starts a paused monitor again. | manage_monitors |
Report job runs (3 tools)
| Tool | What it does | Needs |
|---|---|---|
ping_start | Reports that a job started and returns a run_id for its finish. | manage_monitors |
ping_success | Reports that a job finished. This is the ping that keeps a monitor up. | manage_monitors |
ping_failure | Reports 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)
| Tool | What it does | Needs |
|---|---|---|
get_monitor_history | Shows a monitor's recent pings, checks and response times. | read |
get_uptime_summary | Shows uptime for every monitor in a project. | read |
list_incidents | Lists incidents, filtered by status or monitor. | read |
manage_incident | Shows, acknowledges or resolves an incident. | manage_monitors |
Checks that need no account (3 tools)
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
check_http | Requests a URL and reports the status code and response time. |
check_ssl | Reads a site's TLS certificate: whether it is valid, when it expires, who issued it. |
check_dns | Looks 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.
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?
These apply when you run the server with npx. The hosted server needs none of them.
| Variable | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
DRUMBEATS_API_KEY | none | Your API key (dk_…). Needed for every tool except the three checks. |
DRUMBEATS_API_TIMEOUT_MS | 15000 | How long to wait for the Drumbeats API, in milliseconds. |
DRUMBEATS_API_BASE_URL | https://api.drumbeats.io | The API the server talks to. |
