What is the MCP Uptime Kuma Open MCP server?

(Background: This repository did previously belong to one of my side projects GryfAI. That project has been scrapped and ownership has been transferred to me, personally. This is still offered under the same BSL license. That is what the mcp uptime kuma open mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 4 tools. What each one is for:

  • Windows — .venv\Scripts\activate
  • UPTIME_KUMA_USERNAME — UPTIME_KUMA_PASSWORD
  • Note — ** If you are using a .env file, the server will automatically load the environment variables from it
  • macOS — ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Getting it running

Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: UPTIME_KUMA_URL. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

This project uses uv as its build system. Please ensure you have either uv or pip installed. You can install uv with:

How it compares

Plenty of planning and project tracking servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. MCP Uptime Kuma Open's toolset — Windows, UPTIME_KUMA_USERNAME, Note and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by gryfai; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Things to watch

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects MCP Uptime Kuma Open to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 4 tools (Windows, UPTIME_KUMA_USERNAME, Note, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with MCP Uptime Kuma Open directly.
