What it can do

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

Common questions

Is Pingstack 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?

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?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.0) reached the registry yesterday.

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?

Pingstack MCP server

Pingstack monitors cron jobs and scheduled tasks with heartbeat checks, and checks websites, TCP ports, DNS records, SSL certificates and domain expiry. Its MCP server lets your coding agent set up that monitoring and read the results for you.

Ask your agent to add a heartbeat check for the backup job it just wrote, with the right cron schedule, time zone and grace period. Ask which checks had incidents last week and how long they were down. Ask for your API's p95 latency over the last 30 days.

This repository holds the setup files and directory listings for the hosted server. The server itself runs at Pingstack, so there's nothing to install or run locally.


Endpoint	`https://app.pingstack.io/mcp`
Transport	Streamable HTTP (stateless, JSON responses)
Sign-in	OAuth in your browser, or an API key
Price	Free for 15 checks. MCP is included on every plan
Docs	docs.pingstack.io/mcp

Connect

You need a Pingstack account. Sign up free, then add the server to your client. Leave out any Authorization header: the client opens your browser, an Owner or Admin picks the Pingstack account, and you approve the connection. Clients register themselves, so there's no client ID or secret to copy.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http pingstack https://app.pingstack.io/mcp

Then run /mcp, choose pingstack and sign in. Add --scope user to use it in every project. You can also install it as a plugin:

/plugin marketplace add atomicvan/pingstack-mcp

/plugin install pingstack@pingstack

Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop)

Go to Settings → Connectors, choose Add custom connector, name it Pingstack and enter https://app.pingstack.io/mcp.

GitHub Copilot CLI

copilot mcp add --transport http pingstack https://app.pingstack.io/mcp

If /mcp shows needs-auth, run /mcp auth pingstack.

VS Code with Copilot

Run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette, choose HTTP and enter the URL. Or add it to .vscode/mcp.json:

"servers": { "pingstack": { "type": "http", "url": "https://app.pingstack.io/mcp" } } }

Cursor

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, then sign in from Cursor's MCP settings:

"mcpServers": { "pingstack": { "url": "https://app.pingstack.io/mcp" } } }

OpenAI Codex

codex mcp add pingstack --url https://app.pingstack.io/mcp

codex mcp login pingstack

Google Antigravity

Install the plugin in the antigravity folder with the Antigravity CLI. The app picks it up too. You sign in in the browser the first time it connects:

git clone https://github.com/atomicvan/pingstack-mcp

agy plugin install ./pingstack-mcp/antigravity

Or add this to ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json, then click Authenticate next to pingstack under Agent settings → Customizations:

"mcpServers": { "pingstack": { "serverUrl": "https://app.pingstack.io/mcp" } } }

Gemini CLI

Install it as an extension:

gemini extensions install https://github.com/atomicvan/pingstack-mcp

Then run /mcp auth pingstack.

The client setup guide covers each client in more detail, plus how to use an API key when your client can't sign in through a browser.

Tools

The server has 20 tools. Your client only sees the ones the connection has permission for.

Tool	What it does
`get_account_capabilities`	Account, plan limits, usage, time zone and the fields each check type accepts
`list_checks`	List and filter checks
`get_check`	One check's settings, status, last run and expiry date
`create_check`	Create a heartbeat, website, TCP, DNS, SSL certificate or domain check
`update_check`	Change a check's settings
`get_check_ping_urls`	A heartbeat check's ping URLs (a separate permission, off by default)
`get_check_history`	Daily runs, latency and incidents for up to a year
`list_check_runs`	Individual runs for up to 90 days
`get_check_metrics`	Latency percentiles, by probe region or DNS resolver
`get_check_uptime`	Uptime over 7 days to a year
`list_incidents`	Incidents, filtered by check and state
`get_incident`	One incident
`list_notification_groups`	Alert groups you can send a check's alerts to
`list_dashboards`	Dashboards and status pages
`get_dashboard`	One dashboard and its checks
`create_dashboard`	Create a private dashboard
`update_dashboard`	Change a private dashboard
`attach_check_to_dashboard`	Add a check to a dashboard
`detach_check_from_dashboard`	Remove a check from a dashboard
`reorder_dashboard_checks`	Reorder a dashboard's checks

History goes back as far as your plan keeps it. See the tool reference for every argument.

What it won't do

The server can't delete anything, publish a status page, manage custom domains, pause checks, post incident updates or buy anything. Those stay in the Pingstack app. Every connection is limited to one account, to the permissions approved when it was connected, and to the approving person's current role. At a plan limit it tells your agent the limit and returns an upgrade link for a person to open.

Heartbeat ping URLs let anyone report a job as done, so the server only returns them when you tick that permission while connecting.

Example prompts

Add a daily heartbeat for the backup job with a 15 minute grace period and put it on the Infrastructure dashboard.
Which checks had incidents in the last 7 days, and how long were they down?
Create website and SSL certificate checks for every domain in this README.
What's the p95 latency for the API check over the last 30 days?
How many checks do I have left on my plan?
