Cronalert
Create and review CronAlert uptime monitors, check history, and incidents from your agent while you run production URLs and cron jobs.
Overview
CronAlert MCP is a MCP server for the Operate phase that manages uptime monitors, check results, and incidents in CronAlert.
What is this MCP server?
- Manage CronAlert uptime monitors from any MCP-compatible client
- Read check results and incident history without opening the CronAlert dashboard
- npm stdio package cronalert-mcp (v1.0.6)
- Pairs with solo builders who run cron jobs and HTTP endpoints needing external pings
- Agent-friendly ops workflow for small teams without a full NOC toolchain
- Package version 1.0.6 (cronalert-mcp)
- stdio npm transport
- Tool surface: monitors, check results, and incidents per description
What problem does it solve?
After ship, flipping between the IDE and CronAlert to add monitors or read incidents slows down solo on-call style work.
Who is it for?
Indie SaaS and cron-heavy side projects already on CronAlert that want MCP-driven uptime ops.
Skip if: Teams on Datadog, Better Stack, or self-hosted Prometheus only, or pre-launch builds with nothing to monitor.
What do I get? / Deliverables
You can configure monitors and pull check and incident context into the same agent thread that fixes the outage.
- Monitors created or updated through agent sessions
- Check result snapshots available in chat for debugging
- Incident context pulled for faster solo triage
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Uptime and incident management belong to operating what you already shipped, not initial idea research or launch SEO. CronAlert is explicitly about monitors, check results, and incidents—core production monitoring, not deploy or error-log parsing alone.
How it compares
CronAlert SaaS control via MCP, not host-level metrics collection or log tailing.
