Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Pingdom

Ask your AI which checks are down, how much downtime a site had last month, or to pause alerts during a deploy. It reads your Pingdom checks, outages, response times, alerts and root cause analyses, and it can create and change checks, alert contacts and maintenance windows. You get the answer without clicking through reports.

Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.

Try asking

“Which of my checks are down right now?”
The AI lists your uptime checks with their current status, host and last response time, and points out the ones that are down.
“How much downtime did the shop have last month?”
It finds the check and lists the up and down status changes for that period, with the total uptime and average response time.
“Why did the API check fail last night?”
It lists the latest root cause analyses for the check and reads the details of the one that matches the outage.

What your AI can do

Checks and status

List uptime and transaction checks with their status, create and update checks, and pause or resume monitoring.

Uptime and performance

Read outages, uptime summaries, response times per hour or day, raw test results and root cause analyses.

Alerts and maintenance

See sent alerts, manage alert contacts and teams, and schedule maintenance windows so checks stay quiet.

“Pause alerts for the website between 22:00 and 23:00 tonight.”
It creates a maintenance window for that time span and assigns the check, so Pingdom does not alert during the work.
“Add an HTTP check for status.example.com every 5 minutes.”
It creates a new uptime check with the name, host, type and test interval you gave.
“How many SMS credits do we have left?”
It reads the account's remaining check and SMS credits.

Questions

What can the AI do in Pingdom?

It can read uptime and transaction checks, outages, uptime and performance summaries, raw results, root cause analyses, alerts, contacts, teams, maintenance windows and credits. It can create and update checks, alert contacts and maintenance windows, and delete a check if you switch that tool on.

Does the AI see my Pingdom API token?

No. Your Pingdom API token is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start with reports only. Deleting a check removes its history permanently and can require your approval before it runs. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Pingdom account.

Should I use a read-only token?

If you only want the AI to answer questions about uptime and outages, yes. Pingdom API tokens have an access level, and a token with Read access cannot create or change anything. Choose Read/Write if you want the AI to add checks, contacts or maintenance windows.
