Uptime & SSL Monitor
LiveScheduled HTTP checks and certificate expiry on public URLs.
Watch a public URL for downtime and TLS expiry, on a schedule, with the same SSRF guard as Site Audit. Alerts when the URL becomes unreachable (second consecutive failure), returns HTTP 5xx, the certificate enters the 21-day window or expires, or the name does not match. Not a multi-region synthetic monitor — one check from our servers, daily or weekly.

What it helps you do
- HTTP up or down with status code, on a schedule.
- Certificate days remaining and hostname match.
- Email alerts on change (confirmed address), plus history in your assistant.
Built for: Agencies who want a yes/no uptime signal next to Page Watch SEO alerts.
Example requests
Watch a launch URL
“Monitor https://client.com/ with ToolCargo daily and tell me if it goes down or the certificate is close to expiry.”
Baseline HTTP and TLS, then scheduled checks. Alerts only when something changes.
List monitors
“What URLs am I monitoring for uptime?”
Each URL with last status, TLS days remaining and next check time.

Tools
| Tool | What it does | Access |
|---|---|---|
watch_uptimeWatch uptime | Start (or update) an HTTP + TLS check on one public URL. Runs a baseline now, then re-checks daily or weekly and records alerts when the URL becomes unreachable, returns HTTP 5xx, the certificate enters the 21-day window or expires, or the certificate name does not match. | Writes a document (not a third-party API) |
list_uptimeList monitors | URLs you monitor, last HTTP status, certificate days remaining, frequency and next check time. | Read-only |
uptime_historyUptime history | Recent alerts and recoveries for one monitored URL. | Read-only |
stop_uptimeStop monitoring | Stop monitoring a URL and delete its alert history. | Writes a document (not a third-party API) |
Requirements
- • A ToolCargo account with Site Audit activated (free).
- • Public http(s) URLs only.
Limitations
- • Not a full synthetic monitor: no browser, no multi-region, not continuous.
- • Private hosts, non-default ports and credentialed URLs are refused.
- • Unreachable is alerted on the second consecutive failure so one network blip does not page you.
- • One-shot SSL lookup remains at /mcp/ssl-check.
