Available tools 12

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

healthchecksio
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: POST /checks/. Returns the created check (201) or the existing match (200).
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.
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_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_badges
List the project's status-badge URLs per tag (plus "*" for the overall status) — {badges:{...}}. Healthchecks: GET /badges/.
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_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. Healthchecks: GET /channels/.
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_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_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 — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Healthchecksio do?
It exposes 12 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: healthchecksio_create_check, healthchecksio_delete_check, healthchecksio_get_check, healthchecksio_get_ping_body, healthchecksio_list_badges, healthchecksio_list_checks and 6 more. 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 Healthchecksio working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 32 of 91 checks got a reply (35.2%), average response time 175 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Healthchecksio as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Healthchecksio?
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 Healthchecksio need an API key?
No. Healthchecksio completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 12 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Healthchecksio?
It answers our handshake in 175 ms on average, which is faster than 68% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Healthchecksio open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
