Overview

What is Sentinel Monitoring MCP Server?

It is a hosted (remote) MCP server that provides uptime, SSL, DNS and domain-expiry monitoring for agencies and freelancers managing client websites. Users can check, create, and manage monitors via natural language from Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client.

How to use Sentinel Monitoring MCP Server?

There is nothing to install. Connect via Streamable HTTP using either a bearer API token or OAuth 2.1. For Claude Code, run claude mcp add --transport http sentinel https://sentinel.rootstuff.io/mcp/sentinel --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN". Claude Desktop and Claude.ai require adding a custom connector with the OAuth endpoint or bearer endpoint in a JSON config. Any MCP client that speaks Streamable HTTP works.
