Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Create AI-monitored web alerts from plain English — just say "Alert me when..."

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.

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.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

Common questions

Is Alertchecker MCP 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?

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 (1.0.0) reached the registry 3 months 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?

AlertChecker MCP Server

Gives any MCP-compatible AI assistant (ChatGPT, Claude, and others) the ability to create AI-monitored web alerts on your behalf. Then you will be told when something happens instead of having to ask — just say "Alert me when..."

What it does

AlertChecker watches the web for you and emails you when a plain-English statement becomes true. Once you connect this MCP server, any supporting AI assistant can create these alerts directly from natural conversation.

Example prompts:

  • "Alert me when the iPhone 16 Pro is back in stock at apple.com"
  • "Let me know whenever it's going to rain in London tomorrow"
  • "Email me when Tesla stock drops below $200"
  • "Tell me if there's an earthquake over 4.0 magnitude in California"

Tools

ToolDescription
create_alertCreates an AlertChecker alert from a yes/no question or natural-language statement. AlertChecker monitors relevant web information and notifies you by email (or optionally push notifications) when the answer becomes yes.

Icon

A public icon suitable for connector setup is available at alertchecker.com/app-icon.png — PNG, 256x269px, under 9KB.
