setup

setup is a skill for Claude Code from uptimerobot/ai. It costs 103 tokens per session (2,023 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A setup and troubleshooting guide for connecting an agent to UptimeRobot. UptimeRobot is a service that checks websites and sends alerts when they go down.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to connect UptimeRobot through a browser authorization flow, diagnose missing tools, or restore access after an authentication error.
Why use it?
It handles sign-in and connection problems when UptimeRobot tools are unavailable or authentication has expired.

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.

Security

Grade C, and why

setup scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 199 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Setup UptimeRobot

The UptimeRobot MCP server authenticates with OAuth. The plugin registers a small mcp-remote launcher that proxies to https://mcp.uptimerobot.com/mcp; on first connection it opens a browser where the user logs into UptimeRobot and authorizes access. There is no API key to paste — tokens are cached locally by mcp-remote.

Invoke this skill when:

  • Any UptimeRobot tool returns -31001 user_not_found (the OAuth grant is missing, expired, or revoked).
  • The MCP server fails to connect or returns an authentication error.
  • The user reports that UptimeRobot tools aren't working.
  • The user explicitly asks to connect or reconfigure UptimeRobot.

Step 0 — Check whether setup is already done

Always run this step first. It prevents the most common failure mode: looping the user through setup every session even though the MCP server is already configured and connected. The MCP connection sometimes finishes after the assistant's tool list is captured, so the absence of UptimeRobot tools at session start is not proof the server is unconfigured.

Run:

claude mcp list 2>&1 | grep -i uptimerobot

Interpret the output:

  • A line containing uptimerobot and ✓ Connected: configuration already works and the OAuth grant is valid. Do not re-authenticate. Tell the user:

    Your UptimeRobot MCP server is already configured and connected (claude mcp list shows ✓). The tools aren't showing up in this session — that usually means the MCP connection finished after my tool list was captured.

    To unblock this session: fully quit Claude Code (close the terminal, not just /exit) and relaunch. The tools will be available from the start.

    Then stop this skill. Do not proceed.

  • A line containing uptimerobot and ✗ Failed to connect: the server is registered but the OAuth grant is stale/expired, or the launcher couldn't start. Go to Step 3 (Re-authenticate).

  • No uptimerobot line at all: the server hasn't been registered yet. Go to Step 1.

setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository uptimerobot/ai (24 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 103 tokens to every session and 2,023 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
