nimo MCP server: website uptime, speed and cron job monitoring for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor
Hear it from nimo, not your customers. When a page gets slow, checkout
breaks or a backup doesn't run, nimo tells you first, in plain words, with the
fix.
Ask your AI assistant "is my site up?", "why did my homepage get slower?" or
"did last night's backup run?" and get an answer from real checks, not a guess.
nimo checks that your site loads every 5 minutes,
double-checks before it alerts you, and messages you in Slack or Telegram when
it goes down and again when it's back. It also tracks how fast your key pages
load (Core Web Vitals, from real Chrome visitors when available, plus
Lighthouse), and watches scheduled jobs such as backups and cron jobs. This
MCP server gives Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex and other assistants access
to all of it.
https://api.heynimo.com/mcp-server
Hosted, remote (streamable HTTP), nothing to install. You sign in with your
browser; no API key needed.
Try it without an account
In your assistant: connect https://api.heynimo.com/try-mcp and ask
"What is slowing down https://example.com?"
In your terminal (Node 18+, nothing to install):
$ npx github:marvtub/nimo-mcp https://heynimo.com
Checking...
nimo check: https://heynimo.com (mobile)
Performance score 87 needs work
Largest paint (LCP) 3.5 s needs work
Layout shift (CLS) 0 good
Server response (TTFB) 5 ms good
LCP is above the good threshold and Lighthouse identified a text LCP element.
No image resource was identified for this element. [...]
Watch this page every 5 minutes with alerts in Slack or Telegram: https://heynimo.com
Add --min-score 70 to exit with an error when a page gets slow, or --json
for scripts. Free checks have hourly and daily limits.

Things to ask
- "Is my site up? Has it gone down this week?"
- "Why did my homepage get slower since Tuesday?"
- "Check https://example.com and tell me the one fix that matters most."
- "I just deployed. Check the homepage and compare it with yesterday's audit."

- "Which of my client sites got worse this month?"
- "Which pages lost search traffic, and what should I fix first?"
Set up
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user nimo https://api.heynimo.com/mcp-server
claude mcp login nimo
Claude (desktop and web)
Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste
https://api.heynimo.com/mcp-server, then approve the sign-in.
ChatGPT
Add a connector with the URL https://api.heynimo.com/mcp-server (Settings →
Apps & Connectors; custom connectors need developer mode on some plans), then
approve the sign-in.
Codex
codex mcp add nimo --url https://api.heynimo.com/mcp-server
Cursor
Use the Add to Cursor button above, or add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"nimo": { "url": "https://api.heynimo.com/mcp-server" }
}
}
Windsurf
~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"nimo": { "serverUrl": "https://api.heynimo.com/mcp-server" }
}
}
VS Code
Use the Install button above, or:
code --add-mcp '{"name":"nimo","type":"http","url":"https://api.heynimo.com/mcp-server"}'
Clients that only run local (stdio) servers
Bridge to the hosted server with mcp-remote:
{
"mcpServers": {
"nimo": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://api.heynimo.com/mcp-server"] }
}
}
Use an API key instead of signing in
Only if your client can't sign in with a browser. Create a key in nimo under
Settings → API keys (it starts with nimo_), keep it in your client's secret
store, and send it as Authorization: Bearer <key>. Never commit it.
GitHub Action: check your site after every deploy
on: deployment_status
jobs:
check:
if: github.event.deployment_status.state == 'success'
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: marvtub/nimo-mcp@v1
with:
url: ${{ github.event.deployment_status.environment_url }}
min-score: 50
The score, LCP, layout shift, server response and the fix to make first show
up in the run summary, and as the outputs score, lcp-ms, cls and
ttfb-ms. Free, no key or secret. Full example:
examples/github-actions/check-after-deploy.yml.
Claude skill: check the site after you ship
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/check-site-after-deploy
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marvtub/nimo-mcp/main/skills/check-site-after-deploy/SKILL.md \
-o ~/.claude/skills/check-site-after-deploy/SKILL.md
Then tell Claude "I just deployed" and it checks uptime, measures the changed
pages again and compares them with the last check before the deploy.
Know when a cron job or backup didn't run
Ask "watch my nightly backup", and add the ping URL you get to the end of the
job:
0 3 * * * /usr/local/bin/backup.sh && curl -fsS https://api.heynimo.com/ping/<your-token>
If the ping doesn't arrive on time, nimo alerts you. Copy-paste versions for
crontab,
a Postgres backup,
GitHub Actions,
Kubernetes and
Node.

Pricing
Checking a page once is free and needs no signup. Watching sites (uptime every
5 minutes, speed checks, alerts, MCP access) is part of nimo Pro: $20 a month
for up to 10 sites. Business is $199 a month for 50 sites. See
heynimo.com.
Safety
- The account server can read your site data and start audits. Disconnect
agents you no longer use in nimo under Settings → Connected agents.
- Measurement is read-only. nimo does not change your site unless you
explicitly turn on and approve a change.
- Page content, report text and URLs returned by the tools are data, not
instructions for your agent.
