Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Docker monitoring for AI agents: logs, history, alerts. Can ack alerts; never touches containers.

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.

Install

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

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

What it can do

We have not read this server’s tool list yet; we check endpoints in rotation.

Basic checksi

We check information anyone can see; we have not read the code. Checks that do not apply are left out of the count. · Checked Nov 7, 2026

  • ✓ Pass

    Maker matches the repo

  • More stars than 0% of the other 1395 servers in this category
  • Published to the registry more recently than 78% of the other 1395 servers in this category

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.

Common questions

Is maintenant safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

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 (1.11.0) reached the registry 12 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?

In the same category: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP

Drop a container. Your stack is monitored.

When something breaks, fixed rules catch it, the alert is pushed to you, and your AI agent investigates through the built-in MCP server.

Docker, Kubernetes, uptime, TLS, cron jobs, live logs, image updates, CVEs: auto-discovered, alerting on every one of them,

from a single Go binary that fits in a few tens of MB of RAM when freshly started (about 100 MB after several days on a busy host). No PromQL, no exporters, no dashboards to build.

Try the live demo →

A Pro instance monitoring a real stack, read-only. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for.

Quick Start

# docker-compose.yml

services: maintenant: image: ghcr.io/kolapsis/maintenant:latest ports:

⚠️ SECURITY: publishes the UI/API (no authentication of their own) on

every interface; put an auth reverse proxy in front, or bind "127.0.0.1:8080:8080". See https://docs.maintenant.dev/security/#reverse-proxy-setup.

  • "8080:8080" read_only: true security_opt:
  • no-new-privileges:true tmpfs:
  • /tmp:noexec,nosuid,size=64m volumes:

  • maintenant-data:/data environment: MAINTENANT_ADDR: "0.0.0.0:8080" MAINTENANT_DB: "/data/maintenant.db" restart: unless-stopped

volumes: maintenant-data:

docker compose up -d

Open http://localhost:8080. Your containers are already there, with their health, restart loops, resources and logs. Nothing to configure.

Docker socket access is automatic: the entrypoint reads the mounted socket's group and grants it to the unprivileged user, on Compose and on Swarm (where docker stack deploy silently ignores group_add). A socket owned by group root needs DOCKER_GID=0. If containers do not show up, see Troubleshooting.

Kubernetes

kubectl create namespace maintenant

kubectl apply -f deploy/kubernetes/

In-cluster API auto-detected, read-only RBAC, namespace filtering, workloads (Deployments, DaemonSets, StatefulSets) as first-class citizens. Kubernetes guide.

Bare Linux, no Docker at all (systemd, amd64 and arm64, statically linked)

curl -fsSL https://install.maintenant.dev | sudo bash

Endpoints, certificates and heartbeats work without any container runtime. Container monitoring switches on by itself the moment a runtime shows up. Install documentation for pinned versions, air-gapped installs and supply-chain verification.

Cloud: one cloud-init file boots a hardened host with maintenant running on Hetzner Cloud, DigitalOcean, Scaleway, OVHcloud or Vultr.


Why maintenant?

Monitoring your own infrastructure with the standard stack means running Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, node-exporter, cAdvisor, blackbox-exporter, a certificate exporter, Loki, Promtail, Trivy and something for image updates. Ten-odd components, each with its own config, upgrades and dashboards, to answer one question: is my stack up, and what is burning?

maintenant answers that question with one container.

Built into maintenantWhat you would assemble instead
Container state, health checks, restart loopscAdvisor + node-exporter + alert rules you write
CPU, memory, network and disk, per container and per hostcAdvisor + node-exporter + Grafana dashboards you build

Network exposure audit: 0.0.0.0 binds, exposed database ports, host network, privileged containersnothing standard

Alerts routed to Discord, webhooks, email, Telegram, Slack and Teams, with escalation *(Pro)*Alertmanager
Public status page with incidents and subscribersCachet, Uptime Kuma, or a SaaS
One real-time dashboard for all of the aboveGrafana + dashboards you build and maintain

Do I still need Prometheus?

maintenant monitors your infrastructure. Prometheus monitors your application. There is no PromQL here, no custom exporters, no panels to design: maintenant already knows what a container, a certificate, an endpoint, a cron job and a CVE are, and starts watching them the moment they appear. If you ship business metrics and write your own queries, keep Prometheus for that. The two answer different questions, and plenty of people run both.
