Setup
Install LastPing MCP in your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and others).
Repository: https://github.com/tp322d/lastping-app
Follow the installation instructions in the repository README, then restart your MCP client.
This repository holds the open-source pieces: thelastpingCLI and the MCP server. The hosted service they talk to is atlastping.dev, free for individuals.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tp322d/lastping-app/main/install.sh | sh
No Go toolchain needed — that pulls a prebuilt binary for macOS and Linux, on amd64 and arm64, and verifies its checksum. Windows builds are on thereleases page.
go install github.com/tp322d/lastping-app/cmd/lastping@latest
lastping run— reporting you can't forget
Put it in front of whatever you already run:
lastping run --monitor <monitor-id> -- python nightly_etl.py lastping run --monitor <monitor-id> -- ./backup.sh lastping run --monitor <monitor-id> -- claude
It sends a start ping, runs your command untouched, and reports the exit code when it finishes — success on 0, failure on anything else, with the tail of stderr attached so the alert sayswhy.
Three properties worth knowing, because they are the difference between a monitoring wrapper you can trust in production and one you remove after a bad night:
- Your exit code always propagates.The wrapper exits with whatever your command exited with, so CI behaves exactly as it did before you added it.
- A failed ping never touches your command.If LastPing is unreachable, your job still runs, still writes its output, still exits normally.
- Interactive stays interactive.stdin and stdout are handed over as file descriptors, so wrapping a REPL or an agent session works.
Why a wrapper rather than an instruction? Because anything advisory decays. An AI agent told to report on every task will stop doing it, and a cron line you meant to add acurlto never gets it. A wrapper reports from the process lifecycle, so nothing depends on anybody remembering.
MCP server — let an agent set up its own monitoring
// claude_desktop_config.json, .mcp.json, or your client's equivalent { "mcpServers": { "lastping": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.lastping.dev/mcp", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer ${LASTPING_API_KEY}"], "env": { "LASTPING_API_KEY": "lp__your_key_here" } } } }
The hosted server is the recommended path — nothing to install, and it always carries the current tool set.
A stdio binary is also here if you would rather run it yourself:
go install github.com/tp322d/lastping-app/cmd/lastping-mcp@latest
Monitors:create_monitor·get_monitor·list_monitors·update_monitor·delete_monitor·pause_monitor·resume_monitor·snooze_monitor
Incidents & runs:list_incidents·get_run_history
Destinations:list_destinations·create_destination·update_destination·test_destination·delete_destination
Alert templates:get_alert_templates·set_alert_template
Agent registry:register_agent·list_agents·get_agent·update_agent·delete_agent
Status pages:list_status_pages·create_status_page·update_status_page·delete_status_page
API keys:create_api_key·list_api_keys·revoke_api_key
This binary carries the same tool set as the hosted server atmcp.lastping.dev. It is a thin REST client throughout: every tool is a direct HTTP call to the management API, so it stays free to run yourself with no lag behind the hosted surface beyond a new release.
The one that matters most isget_ping_instructions: an agent callscreate_monitor, then asks for its own ping commands, and wires them into its own work — in one conversation, without a human opening a dashboard.
Every monitor gets a URL. There is nothing to install and no library to keep current; anything that can make an HTTP request can report.
Add?rid=<id>to pair a run's start with its result, so LastPing can group a run's pings and time it.
# The classic one-liner, at the end of a cron job: curl -fsS -m 10 --retry 3 https://ping.lastping.dev/<monitor-id>
resource "lastping_monitor" "nightly_etl" { name = "nightly-etl" slug = "nightly-etl" schedule_kind = "cron" cron_expr = "0 3 *" tz = "Europe/Berlin" grace_s = 900 }
