Why it got an A
Hosted by Checkly at https://api.checklyhq.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP). OAuth is the recommended sign-in; API keys (user or service) work for clients that can send headers, and the X-Checkly-Account header pins the account. Session scopes decide which tools appear. The 35 read tools cover check status and results, test sessions, result assets, root-cause analyses, status pages, incidents and usage; the docs say read tools never reveal secret values. Fourteen write tools change a live account: create, update and delete checks and groups (deleting a group deletes every check in it), trigger checks (which uses run quota), start analyses, create and update environment variables, post and resolve status-page incidents, and invite members (OAuth only). There is no dedicated read-only mode, but you can limit a session to the read scopes, and the docs advise reviewing write calls in your client before approving them. Biggest deduction: the server is closed source, so this grade rests on Checkly's documentation and its plugin repo (skills and config only, no server code) rather than code we could read, and we scored maintenance one band lower. The docs give no dated changelog and don't cover prompt injection. The Checkly CLI has no MCP command; it is a separate tool.
How to connect
Hosted: https://api.checklyhq.com/mcp over HTTP; OAuth sign-in on first use. Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add checkly/checkly-plugin then /plugin install checkly@checkly
Is Checkly MCP Server safe?
Is Checkly MCP Server safe to use?
Checkly MCP Server grades A (strong public trust signals). Upkeep is hard to verify (closed source or a single maintainer), so pin the version you tested.
Does Checkly MCP Server have known vulnerabilities?
Not in our current data: it has no open CVEs or advisories. We re-check as new ones are published.
Does Checkly MCP Server support authentication?
Yes. It requires a login, so access can be tied to a person or a scoped key.

Community reviews
No complaints after a month
Clear tool names, sensible outputs, very few surprises. Auth is handled properly, and revoking access later was one click. The OAuth flow worked first time in Claude Code.

Trustworthy enough for real work
Been running this for about a month now. Hosted endpoint means no local process to babysit. Scoped the token to just what the agent needs and it respected that. Updates land regularly, and nothing broke when I upgraded. Easy recommendation.

Fine once configured properly
Good for experimenting, still deciding about production. Watch out for instructions hidden in the data it reads. I review actions before approving them. I will check back in a few releases.

Better than the DIY script it replaced
Of the Checkly integrations I tried, this one is the most predictable. Sign-in flow was painless and I never had to paste a key into a config file. Happy to run it in production.

Does what it says, no drama
Tried it on a side project first, then rolled it out at work. I like that access goes through a proper sign-in instead of a long-lived secret on disk. The OAuth flow worked first time in Claude Code. Worth it, just do not skip the hardening steps.

Earned a permanent spot in my config
I use this almost daily. I like that access goes through a proper sign-in instead of a long-lived secret on disk. It is in our production agent and I sleep fine.

Works, just lock it down
Useful tool, though I would not hand it to a junior unsupervised. Scoped the token to just what the agent needs and it respected that.

Exactly what I needed from Checkly
Replaced a homegrown script with Checkly MCP Server and have not looked back. Sign-in flow was painless and I never had to paste a key into a config file. Good choice if you need Checkly in your agent.

The Checkly integration I wanted
Started with it as an experiment, now it is a fixture. Hosted endpoint means no local process to babysit. I would prefer to read the code, but the hosted service has been dependable. Auth is handled properly, and revoking access later was one click.

Quietly reliable
Simple to set up in Cursor, simple to reason about. Sign-in flow was painless and I never had to paste a key into a config file. Would recommend without hesitation.
