Easily connect any AI assistant (Claude, Codex, ...) to your Oh Dear data

Published on May 11, 2026 by Freek Van der Herten

Oh Dear keeps a watchful eye on your websites: uptime, performance, SSL certificates, broken links, DNS, cron jobs. If something can quietly break, we're already checking it for you. Today we're connecting that data to a new place: your AI assistant.

We just shipped an MCP integration. If you use Claude, Cursor, or any other client that speaks the Model Context Protocol, you can now ask questions like "any broken links on my site?" or "when does my certificate expire?" in plain language. Your assistant pulls the answer from us directly, with your real monitoring data, scoped to the team you choose.

Connecting your AI assistant #

Let's try out our MCP server. You don't need to fiddle with API tokens, as we've also shipped our OAuth integration. In most tools you can just create a connection and point it to our MCP endpoint.

Let's try it in Claude code

When pressing add it will open an authorization screen at Oh Dear.

Read access is granted by default. Write access is opt-in.

Let's try it out and ask Claude about the things it knows about freek.dev. This will make Claude use our MCP endpoint and fetch any data we have.

Everything that we monitor (uptime, performance, SSL, lighthouse, dns records, domain, ...) can be used by Claude now. Pretty nice!

On your Oh Dear account you can see which connections have been made, and you can also revoke a connection you don't want or need anymore.

Try it out #

The MCP endpoint lives at https://ohdear.app/mcp. Point your AI client at it, follow the consent flow, and start asking. If your client has its own MCP setup wizard (Claude Desktop and Cursor both do), it'll discover the rest automatically. For step-by-step setup instructions for Claude.ai, Claude Code, Cursor, and other popular clients, see the MCP server docs.

If you're already an Oh Dear customer, your existing data is immediately available. Not a customer yet? You can try it for 10 days, free, no credit card needed.
