โก Developer Benefits
Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for HostTracker
Read one monitor with its full configuration. Scope 'monitor:read'. Add expand tokens for more detail (settings, uptime, lastResult, lastIncident, subscription, maintenance, attached, spans).
Parameters4
id
string
required
The monitor id.
expand
string | null
optional
Comma-separated expand tokens; defaults to 'settings,uptime'.
Delete a status page with its components, incidents and subscribers. Scope 'statuspage:write'. DESTRUCTIVE and public-facing โ confirm with the user first; the slug stops resolving immediately.
Parameters2
id
string
required
The status page id.
confirmed
boolean
optional
Must be true to actually delete. Call WITHOUT it first: the tool answers with the resource so you can confirm with the user.

}
list_webhooks
List the account's registered webhooks, including whether each is enabled and its recent failure count. Scope 'webhook:read'.
Call any HostTracker v2 REST operation that no curated tool covers. Look the operation up with describe_api first โ the method and path must match a real operation or the call is refused. The caller's token supplies authorisation and its scopes still apply. Writes under /account are refused outright by this server's safety policy.

cancel_job
Cancel a queued or running asynchronous operation. Items already processed are NOT rolled back โ confirm with the user, then read the receipt to see what had been done before the stop.
Create a contact of type email, sms, voiceCall or webPush. Scope 'contact:write'. Sending to a person's address is a real-world action โ confirm the address with the user first. The contact is created UNCONFIRMED: a confirmation code is sent to it, and confirm_contact must be called with that code before it receives alerts. For signed HTTP delivery use create_webhook instead.
Parameters5
type
string
required
Contact type: email, sms, voiceCall or webPush.
address
string
required
The address: an email address, or a phone number in international format.
name
string | null
optional
Display name.
language
string | null
optional
Message language code, e.g. 'en'.
alertDelay
integer | null
optional
Delay in minutes before an alert is sent to this contact.

get_status_page
Read one status page with its settings and components. Scope 'statuspage:read'.

Parameters3
id
string
required
The job id.
limit
integer | null
optional
How many per-item results to include, 1-50 (default 20).
Run a free instant website/host check from HostTracker's global monitoring locations and return per-location results. Requires a token with the 'check' scope (mint at Integrations โ API, https://www.host-tracker.com/integrations/api). Starts the check, polls up to ~30s, and returns per-location status plus the public result-page URL; a check that is still running comes back partial with the ids to poll.
Parameters5
url
string
required
The site or host to check, e.g. example.com or https://example.com
type
string | null
optional
Check type; one of the tokens from list_check_types (default http). 'pageSpeed' is accepted as an alias for 'waterfall'.
pools
string | null
optional
Comma-separated location pools to run from, e.g. 'europe,northamerica'. Unknown pool names are refused by the API, which names the offender.
device
string | null
optional

strictTls
boolean
optional
http checks only: validate the TLS handshake strictly. An untrusted root, an incomplete chain, a hostname mismatch or a self-signed certificate fails the handshake and is recorded on the result's TLS details - what a certificate check wants. Default false keeps the relaxed handshake an uptime check wants.

Connect an AI assistant to HostTracker over the
Model Context Protocol and let it operate your monitoring account in
conversation: run a live check from 300+ global locations, see what is down, create or pause a monitor, schedule a
maintenance window, review incidents, manage who gets alerted, wire a webhook, publish a status page update.
code
Endpoint https://mcp.host-tracker.com/mcp
Transport streamable HTTP
Auth OAuth 2.1 (sign in when your client asks) - or Authorization: Bearer <HostTracker API token>
This repository is the public face of that hosted server: the connection metadata
(server.json), the per-client setup guide (CLIENT.md), and the security policy
(SECURITY.md) - and, since 2.0.0, the server's own source code in src/, so you can read
exactly what runs behind the endpoint or run a copy yourself (see "Run it yourself" below).
Connect in two minutes
With OAuth (recommended - Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT and any client with an OAuth-capable
connector dialog):
Add the endpointhttps://mcp.host-tracker.com/mcp as a connector in your client.
Sign in and approve. The client opens HostTracker's sign-in page, then a consent card listing the
permissions it asks for (by default: run checks + read monitors). Press Approve. No token ever appears.
Ask in plain language:"is example.com up right now,
checked from Europe and Asia?", "which of my monitors are down?", "pause the staging monitor until
tomorrow".
Claude Code
With OAuth (no token needed):
sh
claude mcp add --transport http hosttracker https://mcp.host-tracker.com/mcp
# then, inside Claude Code: /mcp -> hosttracker -> Authenticate (opens the sign-in + consent page)
Or with a bearer token in the header:
.mcp.json in your project (or ~/.claude.json for a user-wide connector):
Settings -> Connectors -> Add custom connector -> paste https://mcp.host-tracker.com/mcp -> Connect. The
browser opens HostTracker's sign-in + consent page; press Approve and the connector is live. That is the whole
setup.
To use a bearer token instead (for example a long-lived token with a hand-picked scope set), Desktop can also
connect through the mcp-remote bridge. Edit claude_desktop_config.json:
The ${HT_AUTH} indirection is deliberate: some mcp-remote builds split an argument on its first space, which
breaks a literal Authorization: Bearer .... Node.js 18 or newer is required.
Cursor
~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project, or .cursor/mcp.json for one:
.vscode/mcp.json in the workspace. The inputs block keeps the token out of the file, prompting for it once and
storing it in the editor's secret storage:
json
{"inputs":[{"type":"promptString","id":"ht-token","description":"HostTracker API token","password":true}],"servers":{"hosttracker":{"type":"http","url":"https://mcp.host-tracker.com/mcp","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer ${input:ht-token}"}}}}
The hosted endpoint is the normal way to use the server. If you would rather run your own copy - to read the
code, audit it, or keep the MCP hop inside your network - the repository builds it from source:
Your copy then answers at http://localhost:8080/mcp and takes exactly the same Authorization: Bearer header:
it is a stateless bridge, so it stores nothing and still talks to the public HostTracker API v2 under your token.
Without Docker, dotnet run --project src does the same on any machine with the .NET 10 SDK.
The same binary also speaks stdio, for clients that launch the server as a child process instead of
connecting to a URL. Add --stdio and pass your token as the HT_TOKEN environment variable (there is no request
header on stdio):
bash
HT_TOKEN=YOUR_HOSTTRACKER_API_TOKEN dotnet run --project src -- --stdio
docker run -i --rm -e HT_TOKEN=YOUR_HOSTTRACKER_API_TOKEN hosttracker-mcp --stdio
Logs go to stderr in that mode, so stdout stays a clean protocol stream.
ChatGPT and other clients
ChatGPT (developer mode -> connectors): add https://mcp.host-tracker.com/mcp; ChatGPT offers its "link
account" step, which opens HostTracker's sign-in + consent page. Any other client with an OAuth-capable connector
dialog works the same way - just the URL.
Any client that can send a static header also works with a bearer token: the endpoint
https://mcp.host-tracker.com/mcp and the header Authorization: Bearer YOUR_HOSTTRACKER_API_TOKEN. Where a
client's connector form offers an API-key or custom-header authentication mode, the token goes there.
A generic, dependency-free bridge for anything that can only launch a command:
Longer walkthroughs, verification commands and troubleshooting live in CLIENT.md.
What the assistant can do
The server exposes the HostTracker v2 REST API as MCP tools. Every list tool takes limit (maximum 50) and
cursor and returns the next cursor; every timestamp is Unix seconds in both directions; ids are opaque strings.

Checks
Run an instant check on any URL from 300+ locations (HTTP/S, ping, TCP port, traceroute, DNS, blacklist, WHOIS, Web Risk, crawl, page speed), fetch its result, list the available check types and devices.
Monitors
List, read, create, edit, copy, pause, resume and delete monitors, in single or bulk form, plus the catalogue of monitor types.
Results and incidents
Uptime summaries, raw check results, the incident list, one incident in detail, and comments on an incident.
Maintenance
List, create, edit and delete maintenance windows so planned work does not raise alerts.
Contacts
Manage contacts and contact groups, send and confirm a contact confirmation, and send a test alert to one.
Subscriptions
See who is notified for which monitor, and subscribe or unsubscribe a contact.
Webhooks
Manage webhook endpoints, send a test delivery, review the delivery log and redeliver a failed one.
Status pages
Manage public status pages, publish an incident on one and post follow-up updates.
Reports
Generate a report and list the report types available on your plan.
Jobs
Poll, wait on, cancel or resume the asynchronous jobs that bulk operations and reports return.
Account
Read-only: the account profile, its quota and its current usage. Useful for diagnosing a refused call.
Locations
List the checkpoint pools and individual monitoring locations you can target.
Generic door
describe_api searches the real v2 operations and api_request calls one, for anything without a dedicated tool. It is not a URL proxy: the operation must exist in the published API description, and the safety policy below still applies.
Three behaviours worth knowing before the first call:
Bulk operations validate first. A bulk tool returns a validation report; the write needs an explicit second
call with submit=true. Bulk deletion additionally needs confirmed=true and the count the validation pass
reported, so a selection that drifted in between is refused.
Bulk operations and reports are asynchronous. They answer with a job id; poll it with wait_for_job.
Deleting anything is not undoable, so it always takes two calls. A delete tool's first call removes
nothing - it returns the resource so the assistant can show you what is about to go - and only a repeat call
with confirmed=true deletes. The API returns a receipt listing what was removed.
Authentication and scopes
Two ways in, same permission model:
OAuth (connected apps). The client registers itself, you sign in once and approve a scope set on the
consent page, and the server mints short-lived access tokens (1 hour) with rotating refresh tokens (90 days)
behind the scenes. If the client requests no scopes it gets check + monitor:read. The account family is
never grantable to a connected app. Every connection is listed under
Integrations -> API -> Connected apps, where one click revokes it
(the app then has to ask you again). A tool that needs a scope the connection lacks answers missing_scope
naming what is required - reconnect and approve the wider set.
Bearer tokens. Mint them at Integrations -> API with a
hand-picked scope set, expiration and optional IP allow-list; pass them in the Authorization header.
Scopes are per family with :read and :write leaves that do not imply each other; a bare family name
satisfies every leaf under it.

account:read (bearer tokens only - not offered to OAuth connections)
Grant the narrowest set that covers the work. There is never a reason to grant account:write: the server refuses
every write under /account regardless of what the token allows. If a call comes back refused, ask the assistant
to run get_account_quota, which reports the scopes the token actually carries.
Limits and quota
The endpoint rate-limits each client IP on /mcp. A limited response carries Retry-After, which the server
passes through as a value; it never sleeps or retries on your behalf, so the assistant decides what to do.
Your API plan quota is enforced against your own token, exactly as it is for direct REST calls. get_account_usage
and get_account_quota report where you stand. Details in the
errors and limits guide.
Application failures (no token, wrong scope, quota exhausted, invalid input) come back as ordinary tool results
with an actionable message rather than a protocol error.
Safety
The server is stateless and stores nothing: every call is forwarded to the API under your own token, and all
ownership, quota and rate enforcement happens there. On top of that it refuses, at the server, regardless of the
token: any write under /account, and anything touching payments, plans, passwords, login or the minting of API
tokens. Content that a checked target controls is wrapped in a fenced, length-capped block before it reaches the
model, so a hostile target cannot inject instructions into your assistant. Full policy in
SECURITY.md.
