Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the RealUptime API v1, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.
Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Frealuptime.io%2Frealuptime" | shStep 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Frealuptime.io%2Frealuptime" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
What an agent can do with RealUptime API v1 API.
Create an HTTP monitor with a name, url, intervalSeconds, probe regions, and a latencyThresholdMs
Read one monitor's current status aggregated across its selected regions, or time-ranged results for many check_ids
Replace an HTTP check's response assertions on body, headers, and status range
Open an incident on a status page for a check and region, then post updates that move it through investigating, identified, monitoring, and resolved
GET STARTED
Schedule a maintenance window on a status page with startsAt, endsAt, and the affected componentIds
Publish a check as a status page component with its own displayName and description
Search an Errors project's issues by query, release, status, and tag, and announce a release with its commitSha
Patterns agents use RealUptime API v1 API for, with concrete tasks.
★ On-call assistant through Jentic
An on-call agent can answer 'is the API down?' and act on it: read a monitor's status, open an incident on the status page, and post updates as the fix lands. Through Jentic it searches by intent, receives the matching RealUptime operation with its input schema, and calls it while your self-hosted Jentic One instance injects the bearer key. A rule can keep it to incidents and reads, away from deleting monitors or status pages.
Call GET /checks/{id} for the failing check, then POST /incidents with its statusPageId, checkId, and region, and later POST /incidents/{id}/updates with status 'resolved' and a short body
Monitors as code
Teams that keep infrastructure in version control can create and adjust monitors from a script. POST /checks requires a name and url and accepts intervalSeconds, regions, a latencyThresholdMs, and body and header assertions; PATCH /checks/{id} changes those later, and GET /checks/export downloads every check's configuration as CSV or JSON for review.
POST /checks with name 'Checkout API', url 'https://example.com/health', intervalSeconds 60, and two regions, then GET /checks/{id} to confirm it reports a status
Status page communication
Customers read the status page during an outage. Status pages publish components backed by checks, incidents advance through a fixed status lifecycle with a body of up to 5000 characters per update, and maintenance windows announce planned work with start and end times and the components affected.
POST /maintenance with statusPageId, title 'Database upgrade', body, startsAt and endsAt for Saturday 22:00 to 23:00 UTC, and the affected componentIds
Error triage by release
RealUptime Errors groups exceptions into issues per project. GET /errors/projects/{id}/issues searches by q, release, status, window, and tag, and GET /errors/issues/{id} returns releases, recent occurrences, and breadcrumbs. Announcing each deploy with POST /errors/releases ties new issues to the commitSha that introduced them.
POST /errors/releases with projectId, release 'v2.4.0', and commitSha, then GET /errors/projects/{id}/issues filtered by release 'v2.4.0' to list new issues
54 endpoints — the realuptime api runs uptime monitoring end to end: it creates http and heartbeat monitors, reads their status across probe regions, and returns time-ranged results or a prometheus scrape target.

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring RealUptime by hand means sending the bearer key on account operations, knowing which outage and inbound webhook routes are open, and following the fixed incident status lifecycle yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the RealUptime API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
RealUptime puts the check, status page, and incident ids in the URL path (/checks/{id}, /status-pages/{id}/components, /incidents/{id}/updates), so a rule can pin your agent to one monitor or one status page. You choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like deleting a check or a status page are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your RealUptime API key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'open an incident' or 'check monitor status', and Jentic returns the matching RealUptime operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using RealUptime API v1 API through Jentic.
What authentication does the RealUptime API use?
Per its OpenAPI spec, account operations use the bearerAuth scheme: an API key generated in the RealUptime dashboard sent as a bearer token in the Authorization header. Some operations are open: the endpoint index, the public outage readings, and the inbound webhooks for alerting tools, ticket trackers, and deploy platforms, which identify the account by a token or connectionId in the URL path instead. Through Jentic, your key is stored encrypted by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time.
Is there a RealUptime MCP server?
You don't need an MCP server to give your agent the RealUptime API. Jentic connects it directly from the API Directory: import it, store your key once, and your agent calls it. Operations are discovered on demand, so the agent loads only the monitor or incident operation it needs instead of every tool definition.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the RealUptime API?
Yes. An incident-comms agent could get a rule allowing GET /checks/{id}, POST /incidents, and POST /incidents/{id}/updates, so it can confirm an outage, open an incident, and post updates, while deleting checks, status pages, or notification channels stays out of reach. Every call it makes is logged.
What are the rate limits for the RealUptime API?
The OpenAPI spec does not give numeric limits, but it documents separate read and write rate limits through the error codes RU-2002 (read rate limit exceeded) and RU-2003 (write rate limit exceeded), plus RU-2001 for too many failed authentication attempts. See https://realuptime.io/kb/errors/ru-2002 for current details.
Can I read RealUptime outage data without an API key?
Yes. GET /outages/{slug} returns the public outage reading for one tracked service, GET /outages/internet-weather returns per-region probe latency percentiles with a 7-day baseline, and GET /outages/internet reports whether a named provider incident is confirmed across many services. None of these need an API key.
How do incident updates work in the RealUptime API?
POST /incidents opens an incident against a status page and needs a statusPageId, checkId, and region. Each POST /incidents/{id}/updates then requires a status from investigating, identified, monitoring, or resolved and a body, advancing the incident's lifecycle on the status page.
How do I open an incident through Jentic?
Install Jentic One with `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh`, import the RealUptime API from the API Directory, and store your key. Your agent searches for 'open an incident on a status page', receives POST /incidents with its input schema, and calls it with the status page, check, and region. To run it on your own infrastructure, install Jentic One from its GitHub repo.
For Agents
Create and inspect uptime monitors, open and update incidents on status pages, schedule maintenance windows, search error issues, and read public outage data with the RealUptime API.
Use for: Set up an uptime monitor for https://example.com checked from two regions, Check whether the checkout API monitor is currently down, I need to open an incident on our status page for the API outage, Post a resolved update on the current incident
Not supported: Does not page on-call engineers by phone, collect application traces, or host your website. Use for uptime monitors, status pages, incidents, and error issues on RealUptime only.
The RealUptime API runs uptime monitoring end to end: it creates HTTP and heartbeat monitors, reads their status across probe regions, and returns time-ranged results or a Prometheus scrape target. Around the monitors it manages status pages and their published components, incidents with staged lifecycle updates, maintenance windows, and notification channels such as Discord, Teams, and Opsgenie. It also covers RealUptime Errors projects, issues, and release announcements, server capacity from installed Monitor agents, and a set of public outage readings for tracked services that need no API key.
