UptimeRobot for AI agents

This repo is UptimeRobot's single source of truth for AI agent integrations. It publishes:

• **llms.txt** and **AGENTS.md** — discovery and orientation for LLMs and coding agents.
• **.claude-plugin/****, **.cursor-plugin/**, and ****.codex-plugin/** — installable plugin manifests for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
• **skills/** — self-contained skill files covering every UptimeRobot MCP tool plus onboarding and runbook workflows.
• **rules/** — shared rules loaded by both Cursor and Claude Code.
• **mcp.json** — Cursor-format MCP server config (dot-less filename).
• **.mcp.json** — Claude Code MCP server config (dot-prefixed so Claude Code auto-registers the server when the plugin loads).
• **codex.mcp.json** — Codex-format MCP server config (mcp_servers snake_case key, referenced explicitly by the Codex manifest).
• **.agents/plugins/marketplace.json** — repo-scoped Codex marketplace for local install and testing; Codex auto-discovers this file when the repo is open.
• **assets/logo.png** — marketplace logo, declared as the icon in the Cursor and Codex manifests (Claude Code's plugin manifest has no icon field; the directory listing supplies its icon at submission time).

The mcp.json, .mcp.json, and codex.mcp.json files all register the same mcp-remote launcher that proxies to https://mcp.uptimerobot.com/mcp and runs the OAuth browser flow. Three filenames exist only because Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex each expect their own convention (and Codex requires mcp_servers in snake_case rather than mcpServers).

The same content is mirrored under uptimerobot.com/ for crawler discovery (uptimerobot.com/llms.txt, uptimerobot.com/AGENTS.md, etc.).

Install

Claude Code

From the marketplace (once published)

UptimeRobot is being submitted to Anthropic's community plugin marketplace. Once accepted, add that marketplace once and install:

/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
/plugin install uptimerobot@claude-community

Or run /plugin, open the Discover tab, find UptimeRobot, and install it. (The community marketplace must be added first — it isn't built in. Only Anthropic's curated official marketplace shows up in /plugin with no setup.)

The MCP server auto-registers via .mcp.json as soon as the plugin loads. The first time it connects, a browser opens for you to log into UptimeRobot and authorize access (OAuth) — there's no API key to paste. Tokens are cached locally, so you only do this once.

Local clone (manual plugin install)

To run the full plugin (skills, rules, commands, and the auto-registered MCP server) straight from a local checkout — no marketplace required — clone the repo and load it with the --plugin-dir flag:

git clone https://github.com/uptimerobot/ai.git
claude --plugin-dir ./ai

--plugin-dir <path> loads the plugin from a directory (the one containing .claude-plugin/plugin.json) for that session only. The flag is repeatable and also accepts a .zip. Use an absolute path if you launch Claude Code from elsewhere:

claude --plugin-dir /absolute/path/to/ai

On first connection a browser opens for the OAuth flow. Run /plugin to confirm the plugin is loaded and uptimerobot MCP Server shows ✓ connected.

MCP server only (scripted)

If you just want the MCP tools without the rest of the plugin (dotfiles, CI bootstrap), see [skills/setup/SKILL.md](skills/setup/SKILL.md). Short version:

claude mcp add uptimerobot -- npx -y mcp-remote@latest https://mcp.uptimerobot.com/mcp

Then quit and relaunch Claude Code, completing the OAuth browser flow when it appears. Run /plugin to confirm uptimerobot MCP Server shows ✓ connected.

Cursor

From the Marketplace (once published)

Browse the Cursor Marketplace, find UptimeRobot, and click Add to Cursor. Authorize through the OAuth browser flow when the MCP server first connects — no API key needed.

Local install (for development and pre-submission testing)

Follow Cursor's plugin docs:

# Clone or symlink this repo into Cursor's local plugin folder
git clone https://github.com/uptimerobot/ai.git ~/.cursor/plugins/local/uptimerobot-ai

Launch Cursor and run Developer: Reload Window from the command palette.

Verify the plugin is discovered:

• Settings → Rules, Skills, Subagents — the uptimerobot.mdc rule and every skills/*/SKILL.md entry should be listed.
• Settings → Tools & MCPs — uptimerobot should appear with 32 tools once the MCP server connects. Complete the OAuth browser flow on first connection.

Codex

Local install (for development and pre-submission testing)

Clone the repo and open it in Codex. The repo-scoped marketplace at .agents/plugins/marketplace.json is auto-discovered, so UptimeRobot (local) will appear in the Codex plugin directory without any extra setup. Install the plugin, then complete the OAuth browser flow on first MCP connection.

If you want Codex to track the source explicitly:

codex plugin marketplace add ./

Verify the plugin is loaded: the 24 skills should be available and the uptimerobot MCP server should appear with 32 tools once connected.

Other agents / direct MCP

The server is listed in the official MCP Registry as com.uptimerobot/uptimerobot, so any registry-aware client can discover and install it without a per-client plugin submission. Metadata lives in server.json:

curl -s "https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0.1/servers?search=com.uptimerobot/uptimerobot"

Clients without registry support can connect via the same mcp-remote launcher (OAuth on first use):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "uptimerobot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote@latest", "https://mcp.uptimerobot.com/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Headless / CI (no browser)

Where the OAuth browser flow can't run, connect over plain HTTP with a Main API key from the dashboard (Integrations & API) instead:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "uptimerobot": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.uptimerobot.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}
