Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Manage cron/heartbeat checks, read pings and flips, pause/resume/delete on Healthchecks.io.

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: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 12 things (tools) healthchecksio_list_checks, healthchecksio_get_check, healthchecksio_list_pings, healthchecksio_get_ping_body …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

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

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • healthchecksio_list_checks

    List all checks in the project, optionally filtered by slug and/or tags. Returns {checks:[...]} — each check's status, schedule, last ping, and ping URL. Healthchecks: GET /checks/.

  • healthchecksio_get_check

    Get a single check by its UUID (or its unique read-only key). Returns the check's full state — status, timeout/schedule, grace, tags, last ping. Healthchecks: GET /checks/{uuid}.

  • healthchecksio_list_pings

    List a check's logged pings (100 on the free plan, 1000 on paid), most recent first. Each ping: type, date, n, scheme, remote_addr, method, ua, rid, duration, body_url. Healthchecks: GET /checks/{uuid}/pings/.

  • healthchecksio_get_ping_body

    Get the logged request body of a single ping, returned as PLAIN TEXT (verbatim, not JSON). Healthchecks: GET /checks/{uuid}/pings/{n}/body.

  • healthchecksio_list_flips

    List a check's status changes ("flips") over time — [{timestamp, up}]. Optionally scope by a lookback window or an explicit start/end range. Healthchecks: GET /checks/{uuid}/flips/.

  • healthchecksio_list_integrations

    List the project's notification integrations ("channels") — {channels:[{id, name, kind}]}. The ids are what you assign to a check's `channels` field. Needs a read-write API key: a read-only key gets HTTP 401. Healthchecks: GET /channels/.

  • healthchecksio_list_badges

    List the project's status-badge URLs per tag (plus "*" for the overall status) — {badges:{...}}. Healthchecks: GET /badges/.

  • healthchecksio_create_check

    CREATES a new check — this MODIFIES live monitoring config. Provide a `timeout` (simple period-based check) OR a `schedule` + `tz` (cron-based check); the two are mutually exclusive. Use `unique` to avoid creating duplicates. Assign notifications via `channels`. Healthchecks: POS

  • healthchecksio_update_check

    UPDATES an existing check by UUID — this MODIFIES live monitoring config. Send only the fields you want to change (timeout and schedule remain mutually exclusive). Healthchecks: POST /checks/{uuid}. Returns the updated check.

  • healthchecksio_pause_check

    PAUSES a check — disables monitoring without deleting it (it stops going down for missed pings until it next receives a ping or is resumed). This MODIFIES live monitoring config. Healthchecks: POST /checks/{uuid}/pause (empty body).

  • healthchecksio_resume_check

    RESUMES a paused check — re-enables monitoring. This MODIFIES live monitoring config. Returns HTTP 409 (surfaced cleanly) if the check is not currently paused. Healthchecks: POST /checks/{uuid}/resume (empty body).

  • healthchecksio_delete_check

    PERMANENTLY DELETES a check by UUID — this MODIFIES live monitoring config and cannot be undone. Healthchecks: DELETE /checks/{uuid}. Returns the deleted check's last known state.

Common questions

Is Healthchecks.io MCP by usefulapi 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 (1.36.2) reached the registry today.

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: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Master CSS

Healthchecks.io MCP by usefulapi

Manage Healthchecks.io from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — manage cron/heartbeat checks, read pings and flips, and pause/resume/delete checks. Hosted, no local install: connect with your Healthchecks.io API token.

Live endpoint: https://healthchecksio.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://healthchecksio.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http healthchecksio https://healthchecksio.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{

"mcpServers": { "healthchecksio": { "url": "https://healthchecksio.usefulapi.io/mcp" } } }

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Healthchecks.io credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/healthchecksio/

On first connect you'll paste your Healthchecks.io API token (Healthchecks.io → Settings → API Access). It's validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.
