pingera-mcp-server
⚠ Stale — 118d agoProvides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes Pingera monitoring data and (optionally) write operations as MCP tools. Supports stdio (default) for local MCP clients and an HTTP/SSE transport for remote clients, with environment-variable or Authorization-header based authentication.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
Auth is provided via API key or JWT Bearer token (SSE Authorization header) and/or environment variables. The README does not explicitly state TLS/HTTPS requirements for the SSE endpoint. Tool exposure is gated by read-only vs read-write mode, which provides coarse authorization boundaries. Rate limits, security headers, and secure logging/redaction behaviors are not documented. Dependency hygiene is uncertain (includes multiple third-party libraries such as google-generativeai and sift-stack-py; no vulnerability/SBOM details provided).
⚡ Reliability
Best When
You want an MCP-compatible interface for monitoring context (and possibly configuration updates) with a clear set of tools and environment-based configuration.
Avoid When
You cannot provide/manage the required Pingera credentials or you need guaranteed idempotent behavior for write tools without further verification.
Use Cases
- • Let AI agents query Pingera status pages, components, checks, incidents, and alerts
- • Use MCP tooling to perform synthetic check execution and retrieve results (per exposed tools)
- • Enable read-write operations for automated incident/commentary workflows and monitoring configuration changes
- • Integrate monitoring context into LLM applications via MCP Inspector or MCP-compatible clients
Not For
- • Public internet exposure without strong auth and transport protections
- • Use as a general-purpose Pingera API replacement without MCP-specific tool contracts
- • Environments that require explicit, verifiable rate-limit and retry semantics from this specific server (not clearly documented)
Interface
Authentication
Read-only vs read-write is controlled by PINGERA_MODE (tool exposure respects mode). SSE mode includes REQUIRE_AUTH_HEADER and allows optional header-based auth per request.
Pricing
No pricing information provided for the package itself; Pingera API usage may incur costs depending on Pingera account.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ By default the server runs in read-only mode; write-operation tools are not exposed even if requested in SSE via X-MCP-Tools.
- ⚠ Tool filtering in SSE mode is controlled via X-MCP-Tools header; if omitted, tool exposure depends on server mode.
- ⚠ SSE mode may require Authorization header depending on REQUIRE_AUTH_HEADER; otherwise environment-variable fallback may apply.
- ⚠ Pagination parameters (page, per_page) exist for list_pages; ensure agents supply them to avoid large responses.
