UptimeRobot + Gemini
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
git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in Gemini
Gemini CLI reads MCP servers from ~/.gemini/settings.json (or %APPDATA%\gemini\settings.json on Windows). Add:
{
"mcpServers": {
"anythingmcp": {
"httpUrl": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
}
}
}
- Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key.
- Save the file and restart
gemini. - Run
/mcpinside the Gemini CLI —UptimeRobotshould be listed as available. - Vertex AI Studio: pass
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcpto thetoolsarray of your request with the same Bearer header.
