Using InfraBeacon with AI tools

InfraBeacon can share your monitoring reports with AI tools that support MCP, short for Model Context Protocol.

This lets you ask your AI assistant simple questions like:

  • "Which monitors need attention?"
  • "Summarise uptime for my main website."
  • "Show me recent server pressure."
  • "Has a regression monitor found any visual changes?"

What the AI tool can see

MCP access is read-only. Your AI tool can view monitoring information such as:

  • Uptime monitor status, response times, incidents, and renewal health
  • Server monitor summaries and CPU, memory, disk, and network history
  • Regression monitor status, recent captures, diff percentages, and alerts

It cannot create, edit, pause, reset, or delete monitors. It cannot change contacts, billing, profile details, or alert settings.

Create an MCP token

To connect an AI tool:

  • Sign in to InfraBeacon.
  • Open Profile.
  • Find AI tool access.
  • Enter a friendly token name, such as "Claude Desktop" or "Cursor".
  • Select Create read-only token.
  • Copy the token straight away. For security, it is only shown once.

Connect your AI tool

In your AI tool, add a new MCP server using the production InfraBeacon endpoint:

  • MCP endpoint: https://infrabeacon.io/mcp
  • Authentication: Bearer token
  • Token: the read-only token you created in InfraBeacon

Some AI tools call this an HTTP MCP server, remote MCP server, custom connector, or custom MCP endpoint. If it asks for an authorisation header, use:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE

Keep tokens tidy

You can revoke a token at any time from Profile. This is useful if you stop using an AI tool, move to a new computer, or accidentally share a token.

If you are unsure, revoke the old token and create a new one. Your monitors and reports will not be affected.
