- 04Acknowledge an open incident
MCP support
The server exposes Uptrack monitor and incident operations as MCP tools. It supports a remote endpoint using OAuth 2.0 + PKCE and a stdio transport using an API key.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.
https://api.uptrack.app/mcpclaude mcp add --transport http uptrack-app-uptrack https://api.uptrack.app/mcp{"mcpServers":{"uptrack-app-uptrack":{"type":"http","url":"https://api.uptrack.app/mcp"}}}Open in Cursor{"servers":{"uptrack-app-uptrack":{"type":"http","url":"https://api.uptrack.app/mcp"}}}Open in VS Code{"mcpServers":{"uptrack-app-uptrack":{"type":"http","url":"https://api.uptrack.app/mcp"}}}{"mcpServers":{"uptrack-app-uptrack":{"serverUrl":"https://api.uptrack.app/mcp"}}}Run commands in a terminal; paste JSON into the client’s MCP config and restart. Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.

Details
From the project README@uptrack-app/mcp
MCP server for Uptrack uptime monitoring. Use with Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant.
Two transports supported:
- Remote MCP (recommended) —
https://api.uptrack.app/mcpwith OAuth 2.0 + PKCE. No API key paste, no npm install. Works in Claude.ai, ChatGPT, VS Code (1.100+), Cursor, and Windsurf. - Stdio (this package) — for offline agents, CI runners, Claude Desktop, and any client that can't reach a remote MCP endpoint.
Remote MCP (OAuth)
The fastest path. Use this if your client supports remote MCP + OAuth.
| Client | Install |
|---|---|
| Cursor | Add a remote MCP server → paste https://api.uptrack.app/mcp |
| VS Code 1.100+ | Add a remote MCP server → paste https://api.uptrack.app/mcp |
| Windsurf | Add a remote MCP server → paste https://api.uptrack.app/mcp |
| Claude.ai | Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste https://api.uptrack.app/mcp |
| ChatGPT | Settings → Connectors → Add remote MCP → paste https://api.uptrack.app/mcp |
OAuth handles consent in-app. No API key. You need an Uptrack account on a paid plan.
See the Uptrack MCP guide for the full install steps.
Stdio (this package)
Use this when remote MCP isn't available — offline, CI, or Claude Desktop.
Claude Code
claude mcp add uptrack -- env UPTRACK_API_KEY=your_key npx -y @uptrack-app/mcp
Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"uptrack": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@uptrack-app/mcp"],
"env": {
"UPTRACK_API_KEY": "uk_live_..."
}
}
}
}
Cursor / Windsurf
Add to the MCP settings with the same stdio config as Claude Desktop.
Available Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
list_monitors | List all monitors with status, URL, interval, uptime |
get_monitor | Get details for a specific monitor |
create_monitor | Create a new monitor (HTTP, TCP, DNS, SSL, heartbeat) |
update_monitor | Update monitor config |
pause_monitor | Pause an active monitor |

Example Usage
Once connected, ask your AI assistant:
- "List my monitors"
- "Create a monitor for https://example.com that checks every 30 seconds"
- "Are any of my services down right now?"
- "Show me recent incidents"
- "Acknowledge the incident on the API monitor"
Authentication
- Remote MCP: OAuth 2.0 — no API key needed, consent handled in-app.
- Stdio: Create an API key in the dashboard under Settings → API Keys. See how to use an API key. API keys need a paid plan.

Comments
New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
