Your agent recommends a monitoring tool. Now it sets one up.
AI agents write your code, run your tests, and ship your deploys. With UptimeRobot, they can go one step further and set up uptime monitoring too. The agent submits your site’s URL and your email, you confirm with one click, and a live monitor plus a free account are created.No registration form, no API key, no dashboard to configure first.
Who is it for.
Code agents
Claude Code, Cursor, MCP-enabled assistants, and CI scripts follow our llms.txt and agent skill. The agent solves the puzzle and sets up your monitor. You confirm by email.
Chat assistants and humans
No code execution needed. Open the quick-start link, your browser solves the puzzle, and you confirm with one click in your inbox.

How it works.
Try it now, copy-paste prompt.
"Set up uptime monitoring for [your site] with UptimeRobot's agent flow. My email is [your email]."
The API flow for code agents.
A code-capable agent creates a monitor with three calls and the owner's email. No account, no API key.
1. GET /agentic/agent-monitor/challenge?email=<email>&url=<url> -> { nonce, timestamp, difficulty, signature } 2. Solve proof-of-work: find a counter where SHA-256("<nonce>|<counter>") has `difficulty` leading zero bits. 3. POST /agentic/agent-monitor { email, url, nonce, timestamp, counter, signature }
The owner clicks the confirmation email. A free monitor (5-min HTTPS, 50-monitor free plan) and account go live.
Submission always returns 200 to prevent email enumeration. Only a bad proof-of-work returns 400. No code agent? The /quick-start?url=&email= link solves the puzzle in your browser.

Why it's safe (anti-abuse design).
Letting software create accounts is an abuse vector if you're careless about it. Two gates stop that:
- Proof-of-work. The agent solves a small puzzle before it can submit, which makes bulk spam expensive.
- One-click email confirm. Nothing runs until the owner clicks Activate. An agent can't start monitoring a site for someone who never asked, and it can't silently create accounts.
Together they mean an agent can't create an account or start monitoring without your approval.

FAQ
No. Your agent submits your URL and email, you click one confirmation email, and a monitor plus a free account are created for you. There's no registration form and no API key to generate first.
It's a real free plan, not a trial. You get 50 monitors with 5-minute HTTPS, ping, port or keyword checks. It stays free with no credit card.
Yes. UptimeRobot's free plan is available for any use, including commercial and business use. There's no personal-only restriction and no credit card. Freelancers monitoring client sites, startups, and companies running production services all use it. You stay on the free plan as long as you're within the 50-monitor limit, 5-minute checks, and our Fair Use Policy.
Any code-capable agent, including Claude Code, Cursor, MCP-enabled assistants, and CI scripts. They read the instructions in our llms.txt and agent-skill files and call the API directly. If you're in a chat assistant with no code execution, use the quick-start link instead.
The agent solves a small proof-of-work puzzle, then submits your URL and email to our endpoint. We email you one confirmation. When you click Activate, the monitor and a free account go live.
No. Nothing runs until the owner of the email clicks Activate. The proof-of-work stops bulk spam, and the email confirmation means monitoring only starts with the real owner's approval.
Yes. Open the quick-start link and your browser solves the puzzle for you. You still confirm by email. Same result, no code execution needed.
Yes. Set a password whenever you want to log in, then move to a paid plan for 30 or 60-second monitoring intervals, more integrations, or customizable status pages. Paid plans start at $7/mo. Until you upgrade, the free monitor keeps running and alerting you.
No. This keeps the real safeguard (PoW + email-gated activation + uniform response / anti-enumeration). This is what the epic's anti-abuse design actually protects.
