Connect Uptimely to Cursor

Configure

Register the MCP server

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in one project), merging with any existing entry rather than replacing it:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "uptimely": {
      "url": "https://app.getuptimely.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}
Sign in

Authorize the connection

Cursor detects the OAuth server behind the URL and asks you to sign in the first time a tool is used. Cursor also documents a one-click install link; the /apps page carries it.

Verify

Confirm it worked

Ask Cursor to call search_tools, then execute_typescript with return await external_uptimely_project_list({});. A client that lists uptimely_project_list as its own tool can call it directly. A JSON list of your projects — even an empty list — means the connection is live.

If you also configured the SDK or REST API, this should answer HTTP 200 with a JSON body whose data is a list of monitors:

curl -sS -H "Authorization: Bearer $UPTIMELY_API_KEY" https://app.getuptimely.com/v1/monitors
