Use the surface you already work in.

Same backend. Same monitor state. Different ways to drive it.

Create and manage monitors from scripts, apps, or CI.

Built for your workflow

Pick the surface that fits how you ship.

What happens when something breaks

We do not flip red on the first blip.

1

Create

You create a monitor through the API, MCP, or GitHub Action.

2

Test immediately

We run an immediate test check so typos and unreachable targets fail fast.

3

Check on schedule

Checks are spread across the minute to keep load stable.

4

Re-check failures

Infrastructure-class failures are confirmed from two additional regions before we flip state.

5

Deliver evidence

We store the incident with evidence and send it where you want it: webhook, browser push, RSS, or MCP pull.

Evidence, not just red dots

See what happened before the incident: DNS, TLS, timeout, 5xx, region, and timing breakdowns.

  • Last 20 checks included
  • Timing breakdowns per check
  • Region-aware evidence
  • Designed for debugging, not dashboards

Webhooks for systems. Push for humans. MCP for agents.

No inbox spam. No deliverability headaches. You choose the channel.

Webhooks

For Slack, Twilio, Discord, ntfy, GitHub Actions, or your own router.

PUT /api/v1/monitors/1287/webhook
{ "url": "https://hooks.co/inc" }

Browser push

One-click opt-in from the dashboard. Fastest human fallback.

RSS / incident feed

MCP pull

Ask your agent for monitor state and recent incidents directly.

Tool: list_incidents
Filter: last 24h, status: open
Result: 1 incident, myapp-healthz

Browser push and email get muted by Do Not Disturb — exactly when an outage matters. Wire a webhook to Pushover (bypasses DND on iOS and Android) or ntfy for phone alerts the moment something breaks.

Built by Monitive

UptimeMonitoring.com is the API-first, headless sibling to Monitive Pro.

Monitive has been operating monitoring infrastructure for 16 years. UptimeMonitoring.com takes that operational experience and applies it to a different job: deploy gates, API workflows, AI-agent tooling, and developer-first monitoring without email or dashboard sprawl.

  • 16 years in monitoring
  • 22 probe locations
  • Cross-region confirmation on failures
  • GitHub OAuth + API keys
  • Minimal data collection: GitHub identity only

FAQ

Is it really free?

Yes. Free plan: up to 50 monitors. Early users can go up to 100 during the extended free tier while paid plans are being finalized.

Do I need an email address?

No. Signup uses GitHub OAuth. Email is optional only if you want future pricing updates.

How do alerts work without email?

Webhooks, browser push, RSS feeds, and MCP queries.

How do you avoid false positives?

Infrastructure-class failures are re-checked across regions before state changes.

Can I monitor private IPs or internal services?

No. Private and reserved targets are blocked.
