Changelog

What shipped, when - product and site both, newest first. Nothing appears here before it exists; the roadmap lives on the about page and stays there until it ships.

August 1, 2026

  • MCP server: every account can now create an MCP API key on the Account page and connect Claude (or any MCP client) to its monitoring - five read-only tools for monitors, uptime reports, incidents, performance, and failing checks. On the free plan: the last 7 days, 50 questions a day, per-monitor reports.
  • A features section on this site, starting with the MCP server page.
  • About page and this changelog.
  • StatusCake and Hyperping comparisons - the top-six alternatives set is complete.
  • New guide: how to set up uptime monitoring, in about ten minutes.
  • UptimeRobot free-plan terms: a dated timeline. Their December 2024 non-commercial restriction was quietly lifted in May 2026; our own pages carried the stale claim and were corrected the same day we found out. The post is the receipt.

July 30, 2026

  • New tool: what is my IP - your public IP, country, answering edge, and HTTP/TLS versions, read in-browser and stored nowhere.
  • Two new guides: ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR, and "my site is up for me but down for others".
  • Pingdom and Better Stack comparisons.
  • FAQ page.

July 29, 2026

  • Every page on this site now answers Accept: text/markdown with a raw-markdown version of itself, for AI agents and anyone else who prefers plain text.
  • llms.txt index and a full-article corpus at /llms-full.txt.
  • Freshping shut down in March - a migration comparison for its users.

July 27, 2026

  • First six troubleshooting guides: how to check if a site is down, 502, 503, 504, DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN, and expired SSL certificates.
  • UptimeRobot and Uptime Kuma comparisons - the honest kind, where the other side wins some rows.
  • Two free tools: the uptime calculator (what 99.9% actually allows) and the downtime cost calculator.

July 26, 2026

  • YoPingMe v1 is live. Five check types - HTTP, keyword, SSL, ping, and TCP - every 5 minutes from Frankfurt, Virginia, and Singapore, with alerts by email, webhook, or Slack only after all three regions agree.
  • One plan: free. 10 monitors, 30 days of raw history, no card.
  • This site launched alongside it.
