A reference guide for using UptimeRobot, a service that monitors websites, servers, and network services. It explains monitor types, URL formats, discovery steps, pagination, time ranges, errors, and output rules.

Guiding calls that list, create, update, inspect, enable, disable, and configure UptimeRobot monitors and alert integrations.

It reduces mistakes when an agent calls UptimeRobot tools, especially when creating monitors, referring to existing IDs, or verifying changes.

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.

agentmods

npx agentmods add skills/uptimerobot/ai/conventions

Any agent

npx skills add uptimerobot/ai --skill conventions

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/uptimerobot/ai

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Or install uptimerobot, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 24 skills, 1 MCP server.

Token cost

What 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	$0.00057	$0.00836
Opus 5	$0.00028	$0.00418
Sonnet 5	$0.00011	$0.00167
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00084

Security

Grade A, and why

conventions 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 3d 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 — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

UptimeRobot conventions

Apply these rules whenever you use any tool from the uptimerobot MCP server (https://mcp.uptimerobot.com/mcp).

Monitor types

Always pass type as a string enum — one of HTTP, KEYWORD, PING, PORT, HEARTBEAT, DNS, API, UDP. Do not pass numeric type codes; the MCP layer rejects them.
HEARTBEAT monitors must not include a url on creation. The server generates https://heartbeat.uptimerobot.com/m<id>-<hash> and returns it. Show that URL to the user after creation so they can wire up the heartbeat sender.
PING, PORT, UDP, DNS: url is a hostname or IP, never a full URL with scheme.
HTTP, KEYWORD, API: url must be a full URL with scheme (https://...).

Discovery before writes

Before calling update-monitor, update-monitor-status, or referencing a monitor by ID, call list-monitors (optionally with search) to confirm the ID and current state.
Before referencing an alert contact in assignedAlertContacts, call list-integrations and use an id from the response.

Verification after writes

After create-monitor or update-monitor, call get-monitor-details to confirm the stored state before telling the user the change is live. Read-after-write replication can lag a few seconds.

Intervals and plan limits

Interval is in seconds. Minimum is 30s and depends on the plan. If the server returns -28002 subscription_limit_exceeded, do not retry — the plan cannot support that interval or monitor type. Tell the user.
Do not retry -28001 monitor_limit_exceeded. Recommend deleting unused monitors or upgrading the plan.
Plans are Free, Solo, Team, Enterprise. Never reference a "Pro" or "Business" plan — neither exists.

Time ranges

timeRange accepts "24h", "7d", "30d" (range 1h–90d), or an ISO 8601 interval "<start>/<end>" (start before end, 1h–90d). Default is "7d".
For anything older than 90 days, inform the user that UptimeRobot's MCP endpoints cap at 90 days of history.

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.

conventions is a skill published in the GitHub repository uptimerobot/ai (24 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 836 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
