DevHelm MCP Server

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for DevHelm — gives AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, etc.) access to your uptime monitors, incidents, alerting, and more.

Quick Start

Hosted (recommended)

Use the hosted server at mcp.devhelm.io. Two connection modes:

Bearer auth:

URL: https://mcp.devhelm.io/mcp
Authorization: Bearer <your-api-token>

API key in URL (for clients that only accept a URL):

URL: https://mcp.devhelm.io/<your-api-token>/mcp

Local (stdio)

pip install devhelm-mcp-server
export DEVHELM_API_TOKEN=your-token
devhelm-mcp-server

Or with uvx (no install required):

export DEVHELM_API_TOKEN=your-token
uvx devhelm-mcp-server

Cursor / Claude Desktop

Add to your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "devhelm": {
      "url": "https://mcp.devhelm.io/<your-api-token>/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Installation

Source-derived launch command. Check the maintainer’s required arguments and credentials before running:

bash
uvx devhelm-mcp-server

Set up in your AI client

Merge this template into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Keep existing servers. Add any arguments, credentials, and permissions required by the maintainer; this template has not been install-tested.

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "io-github-devhelmhq-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "devhelm-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop completely for changes to take effect. Confirm the server appears connected in the client’s tool list, then try a read-only example from its documentation.
