Warden by Project Helena · MCP

Ask your AI what is down.

Warden is open-source uptime monitoring for agencies, operated through the assistant you already use. Ask about every client, diagnose an incident and configure routine checks through a role-scoped MCP connection.

One operational loop

Connect. Ask. Act. Verify.

  1. 1.0

    Connect the assistant

    Create a role-scoped API key and point an MCP-compatible assistant at /api/mcp. Start with viewer access for investigation.

    Viewer key · Streamable HTTP · Bearer auth

  2. 2.0

    Ask what happened

    Query current state, uptime over 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days, incident history, check events, latency and the reason an alert fired.

    State · incidents · events · latency · certificates

  3. 3.0

    Configure routine work

    With a separate editor key, create HTTP, TCP, ping or DNS monitors in batches, create and rename groups, move monitors and pause checks.

    Editor key · no delete tool

  4. 4.0

    Verify the fix

    Run a check immediately, then compare the result with recent events and the learned latency baseline instead of waiting for the next interval.

    check_now · history · P50/P95 baseline

Safe by default.

Give the assistant a viewer key for everyday questions and incident diagnosis. Warden does not return users, sessions, passwords, API keys or webhook URLs.

  • List and inspect monitors
  • List incidents and monitor events
  • Read latency history and notification policy
  • List SSL expiry warnings
  • Run a check now
  • Read operational insights

Intentional control.

Use a separate editor key only for assistants that should change monitoring. MCP cannot delete monitors or administer users, status pages or notification channels.

  • Create monitors in batches
  • Create or rename groups
  • Move monitors between groups
  • Pause or resume monitors

One assistant for the team. One status page per client.

Your operators ask across the client portfolio. Each client still gets a branded status page and a private status-only login for their services. The AI interface reduces internal dashboard work; the client experience stays controlled and clear.

Warden reports and configures monitoring. It does not deploy a fix or repair production autonomously. Event tools may include up to 2 KB of response body, so treat monitored content as untrusted and keep write access separate.

Bring the client list. Leave with Warden connected.

We configure the monitors, groups, client access and a least-privilege MCP key with you.
