UptimeRobot + ChatGPT
Manage UptimeRobot (uptime monitoring) monitors, alert contacts, maintenance windows, public status pages from any AI agent. 8 tools, API-key auth.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
UPTIMEROBOT_API_KEY
Step 1 — Get credentials
This connector wraps the UptimeRobot API v2 (api.uptimerobot.com/v2).
Setup:
- Sign in to https://uptimerobot.com → My Settings → API Settings.
- Generate the Main API Key (full access to your monitors) OR a per-monitor read-only key. Most users want the Main key.
- Set
UPTIMEROBOT_API_KEY.
Authentication: every request POSTs to /v2/* with api_key=... injected as a query parameter on the URL. The API accepts the key either in the URL or in the body — this adapter uses the URL so each tool's body remains clean form-encoded params. We also always send format=json so responses are JSON instead of XML.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Step 2 — Install the adapter
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in ChatGPT
Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide showsYOUR_SERVER_ID.
ChatGPT connects to MCP servers as custom apps in developer mode, available on paid plans (not on Free). On Business and Enterprise workspaces an admin may have to allow it first.
- In ChatGPT, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
- Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click +.
- Enter a name and a short description, e.g. Name:
UptimeRobot. - Under Connection, enter the MCP server URL
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_IDand create the connection. - When ChatGPT asks, sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) and allow access.

FAQ
Does the free ChatGPT plan work with custom MCP connectors? No. Custom MCP connections need developer mode, which is only on paid plans.
