Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Pingera monitoring service integration

Pingera MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the Pingera monitoring service, providing seamless integration between AI models and monitoring data.

Features

• Modular Architecture: Separate Pingera API client library with clean abstractions
• Flexible Operation Modes: Run in read-only or read-write mode
• MCP Tools: Execute monitoring operations through tools (list_pages, get_page_details, test_connection)
• Robust Error Handling: Comprehensive error handling with custom exception hierarchy
• Real-time Data: Direct integration with Pingera API v1 for live monitoring data
• Type Safety: Pydantic models for data validation and serialization
• Configurable: Environment-based configuration management

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+
• UV package manager
• Pingera API key

Installation and Setup

# Install dependencies
uv sync

# Set up your API key (required)
# Add PINGERA_API_KEY to your environment 

# Run the server
python main.py

The server will start in read-only mode by default and connect to the Pingera API.

Claude Desktop Integration

To use this MCP server with Claude Desktop, you need to configure it in your Claude Desktop settings.

Installation

First, install the package globally using UV:

uv tool install pingera-mcp-server

Configuration

Open the Claude Desktop configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pingera": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--with",
        "pingera-mcp-server",
        "--python",
        "3.10",
        "pingera-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PINGERA_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here",
        "PINGERA_MODE": "read_only",

        "PINGERA_DEBUG": "false",
        "PINGERA_SERVER_NAME": "Pingera MCP Server"
      }
    }
  }
}

Required Environment Variables

• PINGERA_API_KEY - Your Pingera API key (required)

Optional Environment Variables
