Streamable HTTP · Remote MCP MCP Server v1.61.0

MCP Integration

Connect any MCP-compatible AI agent to your PulseGuard monitors — read uptime stats, inspect incidents, and manage monitors through natural language.

Prerequisites

  • A PulseGuard account with at least one monitor configured.
  • A PulseGuard API token — generate one under Profile → API Keys. Use a Read-only token for telemetry queries, or a Full Access token to create, update, pause, configure, and delete monitors on paid plans.
  • Node.js 18+ — required if you use the mcp-remote bridge for Claude Desktop. Download from nodejs.org. Verify with node -v. Not needed if you use the Connectors UI or Cursor/Windsurf.
  • An MCP-compatible client. Supported clients:
Client Min version Notes
Claude Desktop 0.7.0+ Connectors UI (OAuth) or mcp-remote (Bearer token)
Cursor 0.43.0+ Settings → MCP → Add server
Windsurf 1.0.0+ Settings → Cascade → MCP
Antigravity any Edit ~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json
Any SSE client MCP spec 2024-11-05+ Pass Authorization: Bearer header

Token Types

PulseGuard uses Passport API tokens and OAuth access tokens. Two permission levels are available:

Token Type List / Read monitors Read stats & incidents Create monitors Pause / Resume Delete via AI
Read-only
Full Access

Full Access tokens carry the mcp:full ability. Read-only tokens carry the read ability. Full Access write actions require an eligible paid plan; monitor deletion also requires the exact monitor ID.

Installation

The MCP server endpoint is:

https://pulseguard.saniolabs.com/mcp

No config file or API key needed — Claude Desktop handles the OAuth flow automatically.

  1. 1 Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Integrations.
  2. 2 Click Add Integration and paste the MCP server URL:
https://pulseguard.saniolabs.com/mcp
  1. 3 Claude opens a browser window — log in to PulseGuard and click Authorize.
  2. 4 The integration appears in Claude Desktop. Ask "List my PulseGuard monitors" to verify.
OAuth starts from safe monitor access. Write actions require Full Access and an eligible paid plan; monitor deletion also requires the exact monitor ID. You can revoke access at any time from your Profile.

Uses the mcp-remote bridge to connect Claude Desktop via a Bearer token. Requires Node.js 18+.

Config file path

macOS ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Linux ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pulseguard": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote@latest",
        "https://pulseguard.saniolabs.com/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      ]
    }
  }
}
Replace YOUR_API_TOKEN with a token from Profile → API Keys. Fully quit Claude Desktop (Cmd+Q / Alt+F4), then reopen.

Verify: ask Claude "List my PulseGuard monitors" — it should call list-monitors-tool and return your monitors.

Open or create ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (per-project):

Config file path

macOS / Linux ~/.cursor/mcp.json
Windows %USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json
Per-project .cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pulseguard": {
      "url": "https://pulseguard.saniolabs.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Verify: open Cursor Chat and type "List my PulseGuard monitors" — Cursor should invoke list-monitors-tool.

Open or create ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

Config file path

macOS / Linux ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
Windows %USERPROFILE%\.codeium\windsurf\mcp_config.json
UI path Settings → Cascade → Add MCP Server
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pulseguard": {
      "serverUrl": "https://pulseguard.saniolabs.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}
Reload the Windsurf window after saving (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P → Reload Window).

Verify: in Cascade ask "List my PulseGuard monitors".

Open or create ~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json and add the pulseguard entry:

Config file path

macOS / Linux ~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json
Windows %USERPROFILE%\.gemini\antigravity\mcp_config.json
"pulseguard": {
  "serverUrl": "https://pulseguard.saniolabs.com/mcp",
  "headers": {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
  }
}
Replace YOUR_API_TOKEN with a token from Profile → API Keys.

Verify: ask Antigravity "List my PulseGuard monitors" — it should call list-monitors-tool and return your monitors.

Any MCP client that supports Streamable HTTP transport works. The server accepts JSON-RPC 2.0 POST requests with a single Authorization header.

# curl — verify the Streamable HTTP endpoint
curl -s -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"curl-test","version":"1.0"}}}' \
  https://pulseguard.saniolabs.com/mcp

A successful response returns a JSON-RPC result with serverInfo and capabilities. From there the MCP handshake is complete and tools are available.

Available Tools

PulseGuard exposes read tools for monitor health, incidents, SSL, PageSpeed, status pages, charts, and notification channels. Paid plans can also create, edit, pause, resume, configure, and delete monitors safely.

Example Prompts

Copy these directly into your AI agent. The agent will call the appropriate tools automatically.

1. List all monitors Read token

List all my PulseGuard monitors and show me their current status and check intervals.

2. Uptime stats Read token

What is the uptime percentage and average response time for my Production API monitor? Give me the monitor ID too.

3. Incident diagnosis Read token

Fetch the last 10 incidents for monitor ID a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890 and tell me if there is a recurring failure pattern based on root_cause and timing.

4. Cross-monitor comparison Read token

List all my monitors, then fetch uptime stats for each one and rank them by average response time from fastest to slowest.

5. Bulk creation Full Access token

Create three HTTP monitors: "API Gateway" at https://api.example.com, "Auth Service" at https://auth.example.com, and "Dashboard" at https://app.example.com. Set check_interval to 60 for all three and enable SSL monitoring.

Troubleshooting

401 Authentication error — "Unauthenticated" or HTTP 401

The Authorization header is missing or malformed.

  • Confirm the token value starts with no extra whitespace.
  • The header must be exactly Authorization: Bearer <token>.
  • Regenerate the token in Profile → API Keys if unsure.
403 "does not have full write permissions" error

You are using a Read-only token and calling a write tool (create-monitor-tool or toggle-monitor-pause-tool).

Generate a Full Access token in Profile → API Keys and update your client config.

404 Tool not found / agent doesn't know any PulseGuard tools

The client has not completed the MCP initialize handshake, or has a stale tool cache.

  • Claude Desktop / Windsurf: fully quit and relaunch the app.
  • Cursor: open the MCP settings panel and click Reconnect.
  • Verify the config file has no JSON syntax errors (trailing commas are not allowed).
[ ] Empty monitor list or "Monitor not found"

The tool only returns monitors owned by the token's user.

  • Log into PulseGuard and confirm monitors exist on the dashboard.
  • If passing a monitor_id, copy it directly from the URL or list-monitors-tool output — IDs are UUIDs.
  • No ping data for stats: the monitor must have at least one completed check cycle.
ERR Connection refused / server not responding

Check the URL in your config:

https://pulseguard.saniolabs.com/mcp
  • No trailing slash.
  • No /api/ prefix — the endpoint is at /mcp directly.
  • Run the curl command from the Generic HTTP tab above to confirm connectivity from your machine.
