Most monitoring tools give you dashboards. You log in, click around, find what you need. That works — until you're in the middle of a client call and you need to know right now whether anything is on fire.

Starting today, SiteBrief works as a Claude MCP connector. That means you can ask Claude natural-language questions about your monitored sites and get live data back — without opening a dashboard.

Example conversation

You

Which of my sites are currently down?

1 site is down right now: TechStart Blog (techstart.io) — it's been unreachable for 15 minutes. You also have 3 sites with SSL certificates expiring within 30 days.

You

What should I focus on this week?

This week's priority actions: 1) TechStart Blog is DOWN — check immediately. 2) Renew SSL for acmecorp.com — expires in 8 days. 3) Fix security headers on shopeasy.store — grade D. 4) 3 open maintenance tasks need review.

Why MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude connect to external tools and data sources. Instead of copying data into a chat window, Claude connects directly to SiteBrief and pulls real-time information about your sites.

This means the answers are always fresh — not a screenshot from last Tuesday, not a manual export. When you ask "are any SSL certificates expiring?", Claude checks your actual monitoring data right now.

18 tools, one connection

The SiteBrief MCP server exposes 18 tools that Claude can use to answer your questions:

get_sites

There are also tools for PageSpeed scores, SEO reports, accessibility results, open tasks, deployment history, and creating fix PRs directly from the conversation.
