Gateway Pulse
Probe Hermes, OpenClaw, Paperclip, and Obsidian gateways and get RED on outage with optional trusted auto-restart.
Overview
gateway-pulse is an MCP server for the Operate phase that health-checks Hermes, OpenClaw, Paperclip, and Obsidian and reports RED on outage.
What is this MCP server?
- Probes Hermes, OpenClaw, Paperclip, and Obsidian gateway endpoints
- RED status on detected outage for agent-visible incident signal
- Auto-bootstrap restart when trust-graph allows: skill=gateway-pulse, domain=service_restart, score≥0.8
- Implementation is pure bash plus curl and nc—no heavy observability stack
- MIT DailyAI federation skill (gateway, hermes, pulse tags)
- Probes four named stacks: Hermes, OpenClaw, Paperclip, Obsidian
- Auto-bootstrap requires trust-graph score≥0.8 for domain service_restart
- Pure bash + curl + nc implementation; server version 0.1.0
What problem does it solve?
Personal agent gateways fail quietly, and without probes your assistant keeps calling dead endpoints.
Who is it for?
DailyAI-style stacks with multiple named gateways who want minimal-deps uptime checks from the agent.
Skip if: Teams needing full APM, multi-region SRE playbooks, or gateways you do not run yourself.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After install, your agent gets RED/YELLOW-style gateway visibility and optional trusted auto-restart when policy allows.
- Per-gateway probe results exposed to the agent
- RED indication on outage for incident response
- Optional automated service restart when trust policy allows

Common Questions / FAQ
Who is gateway-pulse for?
Solo builders operating Hermes, OpenClaw, Paperclip, or Obsidian gateways who want MCP-driven uptime checks.
When should I use gateway-pulse?
Use it in Operate during daily health passes or before risky deploys when gateway availability must be agent-readable.
How do I add gateway-pulse to my agent?
Register the MCP server from dailyai-os skills/gateway-pulse, ensure curl and nc are on PATH, and configure trust-graph rules if you want score≥0.8 auto-bootstrap restarts.
