PingZen is a website, API, and server uptime monitoring service that checks endpoints across 23 protocols and sends instant alerts via Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Mattermost, and webhooks. It offers public branded status pages, heartbeat/cron job monitoring, a full REST API, and an MCP server that lets AI agents like Claude Code and Cursor manage monitors directly. Checks are performed from probes in Moscow and Novosibirsk, Russia, with optional self-hosted external checkers for other regions.
