Available tools 6

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

incidents

get_incidents

Returns recent outages for one monitored website: when each started and ended, how long it lasted, and the error. On the Unlimited plan each incident includes an AI diagnosis in plain language; on Free it is marked ai_locked.

monitor

add_monitor

Adds a website to OhSnap so it is checked around the clock and the user is alerted when it goes down or comes back. Free accounts can monitor 5 sites every 5 minutes; Unlimited allows any number every 30 seconds. Pass alert_email if the account has no alert channel yet, otherwise the monitor will run silently. SMS, WhatsApp, Slack and Telegram alerts are configured in the OhSnap dashboard.

monitors

list_monitors

Lists every website this OhSnap account monitors, with its current status (up, down, warning, pending), last response time, and check interval. Use to answer "are my sites up?" and to find a website_id for other tools.

send

send_test_alert

Sends a clearly labelled test DOWN alert through every alert channel linked to a monitor (email, SMS, WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram), so the user can confirm alerts reach them. Limited to one test per monitor per minute.

website

check_website

One-off check of whether a website is up right now, from OhSnap's probe network. Works without an account. Use when the user asks "is my site down?", "is X up?", or wants a status code, response time, or the reason a site fails (DNS failure, SSL error, timeout, HTTP error, Cloudflare edge error). Results are cached for 60 seconds per site, and each user can run 10 checks per minute.

whoami

whoami

Returns the OhSnap account this MCP key belongs to: email, plan (Free, Unlimited, Agency), the monitor cap, and the fastest allowed check interval. Call before add_monitor to explain plan limits up front.

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can OhSnap uptime monitoring do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: add_monitor, check_website, get_incidents, list_monitors, send_test_alert, whoami. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is OhSnap uptime monitoring working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 154 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect OhSnap uptime monitoring?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does OhSnap uptime monitoring need an API key?

No. OhSnap uptime monitoring completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is OhSnap uptime monitoring?

It answers our handshake in 154 ms on average, which is faster than 73% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
