Larm has a built-in MCP server that lets AI tools manage your monitors, check uptime, create disruptions, and set up alerts — all through natural language. Available on all plans, including Free.

Claude Code

Run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add larm --transport http https://app.larm.dev/mcp

Or add it to your project’s .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "larm": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.larm.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Open Settings > Developer > Edit Config and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "larm": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.larm.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Open Settings > MCP Servers and add a new server:

Name: larm
Type: http
URL: https://app.larm.dev/mcp

Or add to your project’s .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "larm": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.larm.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to your project’s .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "larm": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.larm.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code uses servers as the root key, not mcpServers. MCP tools work in Copilot’s Agent mode.

Authentication

The first time you use a Larm tool, your MCP client will open a browser window:

Log in with your Larm account (email, GitHub, or Google)
Approve the authorization request — “Full access to your Larm account”
Return to your editor — the connection is ready

Tokens refresh automatically. You won’t need to authorize again unless you revoke access.
