MCP Connector - AI Integration

AlertKick speaks the Model Context Protocol, so an AI assistant can do the work rather than describe it: create uptime, SSL, DNS, TCP and heartbeat monitors, read alerts, incidents and security events, acknowledge a page, and open a change window - in plain language, in your workspace.

AlertKick listed in the Claude connector directory, with a Connect to Claude button and the description: monitor websites, servers, alerts, and security events on AlertKick without leaving Claude — Screenshot: the AlertKick listing in Claude - Settings, then Connectors, then Directory.

Connect it in three steps

In Claude, open Settings, Connectors, Browse connectors and search for AlertKick.

Choose Connect to Claude, enter your workspace name, and sign in if you are not already.

Review what you are granting and choose Allow access. There is nothing to install.

Searching the Claude connector directory for alertkick returns the AlertKick connector — Screenshot: searching the directory for AlertKick.

Any other MCP client points at the same URL: https://mcp.alertkick.com/mcp. Authorization is OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and dynamic client registration, so there are no API keys to copy between machines, and the connection acts as you, in your workspace only. Revoke it from your AI client or from AlertKick and it stops working immediately.

What you can ask for

Example prompts

"Monitor https://myapp.example.com every minute and warn me before the certificate expires"
"My nightly backup runs at 02:00 - create a heartbeat and give me the line to add to the job"
"Watch the MX records for example.com and tell me if they change"
"Any open alerts right now? Acknowledge the ones about staging"
"What security events fired on the web servers in the last hour?"
"Open a change window on db-1 for the 30 minutes I need to patch it"

38 tools

Every tool that changes something is annotated as a write, so Claude asks before it acts. Grant read-only access at authorization time and the writes are refused outright.

Part of the AlertKick tool list shown in Claude: acknowledge_alert, approve_change, create_heartbeat, create_https_monitor, create_dns_monitor, create_domain_expiry_monitor, create_tcp_monitor, get_alert and more — Screenshot: part of the tool list Claude sees.

From ChatGPT, and other clients

The connector is a standard MCP server over OAuth 2.1, so any client that supports custom MCP connectors can add https://mcp.alertkick.com/mcp directly. Claude Code and Cursor connect this way today.

ChatGPT has a second route that needs no connector at all. Open an AlertKick page in the ChatGPT desktop app's built-in browser and the page hands it the tools directly over WebMCP - the free checkers with no account, and the full set once you are signed in. Because the tool runs inside the page, it uses the session you already have: no API key is created, and no credential is passed to the assistant.

Self-managed and on-premise

If you would rather keep everything on your own machine, or you run AlertKick on-premise, use the open-source akmcp binary over stdio with an API key from Settings, then API Keys. Same tools, no hosted hop.
