Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.
npx agentmods add instructions/uptimerobot/ai/agents-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/uptimerobot/aiWhat it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.03110 | $0.03110 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01555 | $0.01555 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00622 | $0.00622 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00311 | $0.00311 |
Grade A, and why
ai AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 172 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md — UptimeRobot
Orientation for coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Aider, etc.) that need to create, inspect, or control UptimeRobot monitors on a user's behalf.
What UptimeRobot is
UptimeRobot monitors websites, APIs, servers, DNS, and services. It probes each target on an interval (minimum 30s on paid plans), records up/down state plus response times, opens incidents on downtime, and fires alerts (email, SMS, webhooks, Slack, etc.) through alert contacts.
Key entities:
- Monitor — one probe against one target. Has a
type(HTTP, KEYWORD, PING, PORT, HEARTBEAT, DNS, API, UDP), a URL/host, an interval, and a status (UP,DOWN,PAUSED,NOT_STARTED, etc.). - Incident — a downtime event. Opens when a monitor goes down, closes when it recovers. Has logs, checker IPs, traceroute.
- Alert contact — a destination (email, Slack, webhook, SMS, Telegram, etc.) attached to monitors with a threshold and recurrence.
- Tag — free-form label assigned to monitors.
- Maintenance window — scheduled period where alerts for attached monitors are suppressed.
Plans: Free, Solo, Team, Enterprise. Availability of specific monitor types and minimum intervals depends on the active plan. The MCP server enforces all limits.
How to talk to UptimeRobot
Use the remote MCP server:
- URL:
https://mcp.uptimerobot.com/mcp - Transport: HTTP (streamable), launched via
mcp-remote(npx -y mcp-remote@latest https://mcp.uptimerobot.com/mcp). - Auth: OAuth. On first connection
mcp-remoteopens a browser to log into UptimeRobot and authorize — no API key to paste. (For headless/CI where a browser can't run, connect over plain HTTP with anAuthorization: Bearer <API_KEY>header instead.)
All 32 tools operate on the authorized account. There is no account impersonation.
First-time setup (Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client): see skills/setup/SKILL.md.

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ai AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository uptimerobot/ai (24 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 3,110 tokens to every session, about $0.0155 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
