Manage monitors

Preflight — read first. If you cannot see any uptimerobot:* MCP tools in your tool list, invoke the uptimerobot:setup skill before doing anything else. Do not tell the user the MCP is misconfigured — setup's Step 0 detects the common case (server connected, tools loaded after session start) and resolves it without re-keying.

Covers monitor discovery and status control:

• list-monitors — paginated discovery with search + state filters.
• get-monitor-details — full config for one monitor.
• update-monitor-status — pause or resume.

For creating monitors see the create-*-monitor skills. For editing an existing monitor's configuration (rename, URL, interval, alert contacts, tags, type-specific settings) see update-monitor.

List monitors

{
  "search": "api",
  "filter": ["DOWN"],
  "limit": 50
}

Parameters:

• search — full-text match against friendlyName and url.
• filter — array, any of UP, DOWN, PAUSED, NOT_STARTED, EXPIRING_DOMAIN, EXPIRING_SSL_CERTIFICATE, WITH_API_KEY, WITHOUT_API_KEY.
• limit — page size (clamped server-side).
• cursor — from the previous page's nextCursor.

The response includes an instructions field with the exact next-page call JSON. Follow it verbatim.

Get monitor details

{ "monitorId": 800123456 }

Returns the full config (type, URL, interval, thresholds, alert contacts, tags, type-specific fields) plus current status and state duration. Use this:

• To confirm a create-monitor / update-monitor took effect.
• To inspect one monitor's config before editing.
• To retrieve the generated URL for a HEARTBEAT monitor.

Update monitor configuration

Covered in its own skill: update-monitor — rename, URL, interval, alert contacts, tags, HTTP/keyword/API/heartbeat type-specific settings, and read‑modify‑write patterns for array fields.

Update monitor status

{ "monitorId": 800123456, "status": "PAUSED" }
