api record

Cronping is a free dead-man's-switch heartbeat monitor for AI agents, autonomous loops, workers, and cron jobs. Instead of pinging you when a job runs, it alerts when an expected ping STOPS arriving — so you catch a job (or an agent) that silently died, hung, or was never scheduled, even when nothing threw an error.

Core idea: your job sends one HTTP GET to its unique ping URL AFTER it finishes its work successfully. If Cronping doesn't hear from it within period+grace seconds, it flags the check DOWN and emails the alert address. Ping the URL with /fail appended to actively report a failure.

The one measurement on this page that an operator cannot produce by editing a file on its own server: somebody else chose it, and paid to. Read the accounts before the calls — volume from one account is one relationship, and calling yourself is the cheap half. Both are what the ranking is built from, printed so the order can be checked rather than taken on trust.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

  • create_heartbeat unknown never probed

    Create a Cronping heartbeat monitor (dead-man's-switch). Returns a ping_url to call on each successful run of your agent loop, worker, or cron job, plus a claim_token to manage it. If pings stop arriving within period+grace, Cronping raises an alert. No account required. After creating, send one verification ping (call ping_heartbeat with the returned id) to confirm setup — the check flips from 'new' to UP so you know it's wired correctly. Alternatively, pass pull_url to make a PULL check: Cronping fetches that URL on schedule and alerts if it fails — for targets that can't call a ping URL (a health endpoint, status page, or API).

  • ping_heartbeat unknown never probed

    Send a heartbeat signal to a Cronping check. signal="success" (default) marks it UP and resets the timer; "start" records that a run began (for duration); "fail" marks it DOWN immediately and alerts. Optionally pass progress_token (a digest of your run's actual output) on success pings: if the same token repeats for several consecutive runs, the check flips to STUCK — catching a "zombie" job that keeps pinging on schedule while its real work has stalled.

  • get_heartbeat_status unknown never probed

    Get the live status of a Cronping check (up/down/new, last ping time, ping count, and whether an alert channel is set).

  "type": "object",
  "required": [

      "description": "The claim_token returned by create_heartbeat."
    }
  }
}
    arguments 16 lines
  • set_heartbeat_alert unknown never probed

    Add or change the alert channel on an EXISTING Cronping check (use this instead of creating a duplicate). Sets the email and/or webhook (Slack/Discord/generic https) that Cronping notifies when the monitor goes silent or recovers. Without an alert channel a check tracks status but can't warn you — call this once per check to make the dead-man's-switch actually protect you.

    arguments 25 lines
  • import_crontab unknown never probed

    Arm a dead-man's-switch for EVERY line of a crontab in one call. Paste raw crontab text; Cronping parses each schedule, derives the expected interval from the cron expression itself (using the longest gap between runs so weekend/twice-daily schedules don't false-alarm), and creates one heartbeat monitor per job. Returns, for each line, a ping_url plus the same command with `&& curl -fsS <ping_url>` already appended so you can drop it straight back into the crontab. Also anchors each new check's first deadline to the schedule's real next run — so a fresh switch neither pages at t=0 nor sleeps a full period. No account required. Ideal when an agent or operator wants to instrument a whole box's scheduled jobs at once. Up to 20 lines per call. Lines with no fixed interval (e.g. @reboot) are skipped.

    mcp-tool

    {
  "type": "object",
  "required": [
    "crontab"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "email": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Optional. Email address for DOWN and recovery alerts, applied to every check created. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED — without it the checks track status but cannot notify anyone."
    },
    "crontab": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Raw crontab text, one job per line (comments and FOO=bar env lines are ignored). Standard 5-field expressions plus @daily/@hourly/@weekly/@monthly/@yearly macros and named days/months are supported."
    }
  }
}

  • delete_heartbeat unknown never probed

    Permanently delete a Cronping heartbeat monitor and all its events. Use this to tear down an ephemeral check your agent created (e.g. at shutdown, or after a one-off job) so it stops being monitored and can never raise a stale DOWN alert. Requires the claim_token returned by create_heartbeat. This is irreversible — the id and ping_url stop working immediately. To silence a check temporarily instead of deleting it, use pause_heartbeat.

    mcp-tool

    {
  "type": "object",
  "required": [
    "id",
    "claim_token"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "id": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The check id returned by create_heartbeat."
    },
    "claim_token": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The claim_token returned by create_heartbeat."
    }
  }
}
    arguments 17 lines
  • pause_heartbeat unknown never probed

    Pause or resume monitoring on an existing Cronping check without deleting it. Pause during planned maintenance or a known downtime window so a silent job does not raise a false DOWN alert; resume to re-arm the dead-man's-switch. While paused, missed pings are ignored and no alerts fire. Requires the claim_token returned by create_heartbeat.

    mcp-tool

    {
  "type": "object",
  "required": [
    "id",
    "claim_token"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "id": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The check id returned by create_heartbeat."
    },
    "paused": {
      "type": "boolean",
      "description": "true to pause monitoring, false to resume it. Defaults to true."
    },
    "claim_token": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The claim_token returned by create_heartbeat."

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

_ how we know
card completeness
100%

An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.

spec deviations
0

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
