Add an Uptimely monitor

Create a monitor without duplicating an existing one, then check it once if the user wants.

Connecting and calling the tools

Every tool in this skill comes from the uptimely MCP server, the Uptimely connector, and is written here as uptimely:<tool>.

• Tools listed by name: call them directly, for example uptimely:uptimely_monitor_list.
• Only uptimely:search_tools and uptimely:execute_typescript listed (Code Mode, the default): call uptimely:search_tools first, then call each tool inside uptimely:execute_typescript as external_<tool> (for example external_uptimely_monitor_list); the program must return its result. Scopes, confirmations and gates are identical on both surfaces.
• "Tool not found": switch to the Code Mode route instead of retrying the direct call. If uptimely:search_tools does not return the tool either, its OAuth scope was not granted; the user reconnects Uptimely and approves that scope.
• No uptimely tools at all: Uptimely is not connected yet. Install the Uptimely power, which adds the server; it signs in with OAuth on first use.

The Uptimely server's default surface lists two tools, uptimely:search_tools and uptimely:execute_typescript. Call uptimely:search_tools for the declarations, then call each operation below as external_<name>(...) inside a uptimely:execute_typescript program. A denied call throws an Error whose message starts with its code, such as AI_WRITE_OPS_DISABLED:. If the operations are listed as individual tools instead, call them directly. The rules below apply on both surfaces.

Tools you will use

• uptimely:uptimely_project_list: the projects this connection can reach, to get the projectId.
• uptimely:uptimely_monitor_list: existing monitors, to avoid a duplicate.
• uptimely:uptimely_monitor_target_list: the targets existing monitors check.
• uptimely:uptimely_monitor_create: create the monitor record. It writes to the project but does not itself contact the URL.
• uptimely:uptimely_monitor_get: read the new monitor back.
• uptimely:uptimely_run_monitor_probe: run an on-demand check of the new monitor. It makes a real request to the URL.

Workflow

1. Get the projectId from uptimely:uptimely_project_list (ask which one if there are several) and the URL or host to monitor. Suggest a clear name, such as "API: health".
2. Call uptimely:uptimely_monitor_list and uptimely:uptimely_monitor_target_list. If the same URL is already monitored, tell the user and stop unless they want a second monitor.
3. Show the monitor you will create: project, name, type, and URL, plus any settings the user asked for. Ask for a yes.
4. On a yes, call uptimely:uptimely_monitor_create on its own. Then call uptimely:uptimely_monitor_get on the new id and report its configuration.
5. Offer a first check. Only on a separate yes, call uptimely:uptimely_run_monitor_probe and report ok, the response status, and the response time.

Rules

• Never call uptimely:uptimely_monitor_create or uptimely:uptimely_run_monitor_probe without the user's yes for that exact call, and never put both in one uptimely:execute_typescript program.
• On AI_WRITE_OPS_DISABLED, nothing was created. Say a project owner or admin must turn on Allow AI write operations under Settings > API Keys, and pass on the settingsUrl if the result includes one.
• If uptimely:uptimely_monitor_create is not reachable, the user did not grant monitors:write.
• Only monitor URLs the user owns or is responsible for. Ask if that is unclear.
