Connect Uptimely to ChatGPT

Add to ClaudeAll agents
Configure

Register the MCP server

Fastest: one click opens Uptimely's published app in ChatGPT; add it and sign in.

Open in ChatGPT

Manual: turn on developer mode, choose Create and paste the MCP URL (OpenAI's steps)

  1. Open the ChatGPT app link: Uptimely's published app in ChatGPT opens.
  2. Add the app. It connects ChatGPT to https://app.getuptimely.com/api/mcp; if your workspace cannot install apps, add that URL as a developer-mode custom connector instead.
  3. Sign in when ChatGPT opens the Uptimely consent screen.
Sign in

Authorize the connection

OAuth consent happens in the same flow. Manual fallback, for a workspace that cannot install the app: Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings → Developer mode, then Create, paste https://app.getuptimely.com/api/mcp as the MCP server URL and pick OAuth.

Verify

Confirm it worked

Ask ChatGPT to call search_tools, then execute_typescript with return await external_uptimely_project_list({});. A client that lists uptimely_project_list as its own tool can call it directly. A JSON list of your projects — even an empty list — means the connection is live.

If you also configured the SDK or REST API, this should answer HTTP 200 with a JSON body whose data is a list of monitors:

curl -sS -H "Authorization: Bearer $UPTIMELY_API_KEY" https://app.getuptimely.com/v1/monitors
