Better Stack integration

Better Stack (formerly Better Uptime) is an observability platform for uptime monitoring, incident management, on-call scheduling, and public status pages. The Uptime API (https://uptime.betterstack.com/api/v2) lets you programmatically manage monitors, monitor groups, heartbeats, status pages, on-call calendars, escalation policies, metadata, and incidents (incidents endpoints live under /api/v3). Logs and Telemetry features are exposed by a separate API at https://telemetry.betterstack.com and are not covered by this integration.

What you can do with Better Stack

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Better Stack API rate limits

Authenticated requests are rate limited per team. HTTP 429 is returned when the limit is exceeded.

These are the limits Better Stack documents, not ones LiveContext measured. They can change and often depend on your plan, so check the Better Stack documentation for current values.

Use Better Stack from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Better Stack in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Better Stack operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
