Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Watchpup every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

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.

monitor
create_monitor
Create a monitor. kind=http (needs url), tcp (target "host:port"), tls (target host[:port] — cert-expiry watch), domain (target — registration-expiry via RDAP), dns (target + rtype A/AAAA/MX/... , optional expect_value), heartbeat (dead-man’s switch for cron jobs/agent loops: needs name; response includes ping_url to curl from the job, and a ping_email address). Common options: name, interval (seconds, min 60), tags. http options: expect ("2xx,301"), keyword, keyword_absent:"absent", slow_ms (number or "auto"), method, headers, body, json_path/json_expect, header_name/header_expect. heartbeat options: grace (seconds), cron ("0 3 * * *") + tz, max_duration_s. Any other documented field (see /llms.txt) also works — extra properties are passed through.
delete_monitor
Permanently delete a monitor and all its check history, events and rollups. Cannot be undone.
get_monitor
Full detail for one monitor: status, config, 24h latency percentiles and trend (http/tcp), SLA budget if a target is set. Heartbeat monitors include their ping_url and ping_email.
update_monitor
PATCH any monitor field: name, url, target, interval, expect, keyword, slow_ms, grace, cron, tags, sla_target, renotify, channels (alert routing)... Pause with {"status":"paused"}, resume with {"status":"new"}. Empty string clears optional fields.
account
get_account
Who am I: account email, monitor count/limit, plan limits. Good first call to verify the API key works.
ack
ack_incident
Mark an ongoing incident as "someone is on it" — pauses still-down reminder alerts for that monitor until recovery. Set un=true to un-acknowledge (re-arms reminders).
channels
list_channels
Alert delivery channels on the account (email / webhook / Discord / Slack / ntfy / Telegram), their verification state and delivery health.
incident
add_incident_note
Attach/replace a note (max 500 chars) on an incident. Notes publish with the incident on public status pages, their JSON and the Atom feed. Empty string clears.
incidents
list_incidents
Downtime incidents (ongoing and resolved) across all monitors: start, duration, cause, acknowledgement, notes.
monitors
list_monitors
List all monitors on the account: current up/down status, kind, target, interval, last check. Optionally filter by tag.
status
get_status_page
Machine-readable state of any public Watchpup status page by slug: per-monitor status, uptime, incidents last 30d. No API key needed.
url
check_url
Check any public URL RIGHT NOW: is it up, HTTP status, response time in ms. With kind:"mcp" it instead performs a real JSON-RPC initialize handshake against a streamable-HTTP MCP server endpoint and reports the server’s self-declared name/version/protocol — useful to tell "the MCP server is down" from "my client is misconfigured". Works without an API key (rate limit 30/hour per IP). For continuous monitoring with alerts, use create_monitor.

Watchpup — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Watchpup do?
It exposes 12 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: ack_incident, add_incident_note, check_url, create_monitor, delete_monitor, get_account 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 Watchpup working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 93 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Watchpup?
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 Watchpup need an API key?
No. Watchpup 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 Watchpup?
It answers our handshake in 93 ms on average, which is faster than 92% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
