Hyperping vs MCP Server
A side-by-side look at the Hyperping and MCP Server MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Hyperping for monitoring work over a hosted endpoint; choose MCP Server for monitoring as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
Which MCP server should you choose?
Choose Hyperping when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Monitoring domain.
- You prefer a remote HTTP/SSE transport.
- You want tools like
list_monitors, get_monitor, create_monitor.
Choose MCP Server when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Monitoring domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- You have the keys it needs:
DEVHELM_API_TOKEN. - You want tools like
list_monitors, get_monitor, create_monitor.

Tools & capabilities
Hyperping tools 69
list_monitorsPaginated monitors in the project. Optional status filter (up/down/paused/ssl_expiring).get_monitorFetch a single monitor by its UUID.create_monitorCreate a new monitor. Requires name+url; add "port" for port checks, "dns_*" for DNS checks.update_monitorPatch a monitor. Pass only fields you want to change; others are preserved.pause_monitorPause a monitor — no checks run and no alerts fire. Same as update_monitor with paused=true.resume_monitorResume a paused monitor. Same as update_monitor with paused=false.search_monitors_by_nameCase-insensitive substring search across monitor names and URLs.get_status_summaryUp/down/paused counts plus a list of currently down monitors with the timestamp they went down.list_outagesPaginated list of outages in the project. Filter by status, type, or search term.get_outageFetch a single outage by UUID, including acknowledgements, description, and root cause.get_outage_timelineFull activity timeline for an outage: detection, cross-region verification, alert dispatches, acknowledgement, resolution.get_monitor_outagesPaginated list of outages scoped to one monitor. Convenience wrapper around list_outages.- +57 more on the listing page
MCP Server tools 129
list_monitorsList all uptime monitors in the workspace.get_monitorGet a single monitor by ID, including its full configuration.create_monitorCreate a new uptime monitor. Required: name and type (HTTP, DNS, TCP, ICMP, HEARTBEAT, MCP_SERVER, BROWSER, MULTI_STEP_API). ``config`` is required for probe types (HTTP, DNS, TCP, ICMP, HEARTBEAT, MCP_SERVER). Browser and multi-step monitors use a type default when ``config`` is omitted. ``frequencySeconds`` is optional (10–86400). Omit it to use the plan minimum. ``managedBy`` is set automatically to ``MCP`` server-side; callers cannot override it. Use the SDK or CLI directly if you need a different attribution.update_monitorUpdate an existing monitor's configuration.delete_monitorDelete a monitor permanently.pause_monitorPause a monitor (stops checking until resumed).resume_monitorResume a paused monitor.test_monitorTrigger an ad-hoc test run for a monitor and return the result.list_monitor_resultsList recent check results for a monitor (cursor-paginated).list_monitor_versionsList version history for a monitor.list_incidentsList all incidents in the workspace.get_incidentGet a single incident by ID with full details.- +117 more on the listing page

Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.
Hyperping has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. MCP Server has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add hyperping and mcp-server-113 as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
