Connect your AI tools to CronAlert and manage monitors with natural language.
The CronAlert MCP server lets AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf manage your monitors directly. Create, update, and monitor uptime without leaving your editor.
You'll need an API key to authenticate. Create a free account, then generate a key in Settings > API Keys.
