# UpDog

> Hosted uptime monitoring for small teams: website, API, SSL, port, ping, DNS and cron-job (push) monitors with SMS, Slack, Discord, Teams, PagerDuty, Telegram, webhook and 90+ other alert channels, shared team organizations with roles, and public status pages on custom domains. Free plan (10 monitors, 5-minute checks); paid plans from $12/mo with 1-minute checks and SMS included. Every new account gets a 14-day trial of the top plan, no card.

UpDog exposes a hosted MCP server and a REST API so AI agents can set up and manage monitoring on a user's behalf.

## For AI agents

- MCP server (Streamable HTTP, bearer auth): https://app.updog.watch/mcp
- OpenAPI 3.1 description of the REST API: https://app.updog.watch/api/v1/openapi.json
- REST base URL: https://app.updog.watch/api/v1 (Authorization: Bearer <organization API key>)
- API keys: created by the user in the dashboard at https://app.updog.watch/settings/api-keys (requires an account at https://app.updog.watch/register)
- Developer docs with client setup (Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop): https://updog.watch/developers
- Claude Code one-liner: claude mcp add --transport http updog https://app.updog.watch/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <key>"
- Typical flow: GET /me (limits) → GET/POST /notifications (alert channel) → POST /monitors (with notificationIds) → GET /monitors/:id (status).
