    How to connect

    How to connect Monitly to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://monit.ly/api/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

    How to connect Monitly to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://monit.ly/api/mcp

    1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
    3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).

    Server tool list (21)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    search_catalogFind statistical datasets in the catalog (Eurostat, World Bank, OECD, etc.). Index-backed hybrid search (name/code + embeddings). Optional country and source_name filters. Use this instead of SELECT … FROM main ILIKE. Returns compact cards, not series values.
    search_datasetsAlias of search_catalog. Find statistical datasets by query, optional country and source_name.
    inspect_datasetPeek one dataset by main.id: default slice, whether a country is in the series, dataId, and the last few values. Uses indexed main_id lookup — do not scan the data table yourself for discovery.
    get_datasetGet one dataset metadata row from main by id (includes dimensions, default_view, geos).
    execute_sqlRun a read-only SELECT (or WITH … SELECT) against tables main and data only. Use after search_catalog + inspect_dataset to pull the time series for a known data.id / main_id.
    list_plansList Monitly plans (Essential, Pro, Enterprise) with prices and limits.
    get_planCurrent plan of the key owner: name, status, period end and limits (API/day, MCP/month, watchlist, API keys).
    get_usageMCP queries this billing period, REST API requests today and watchlist slots — used, limit, remaining.
    upgrade_planCreate a Stripe Checkout session for the Pro plan and return checkout_url. Open it in the browser for the user to pay.
    list_watchlistDatasets the user follows (watchlist) with source, latest period and alert status. Paginate with limit/offset.
    add_to_watchlistFollow a dataset by id (from search_catalog). The user gets alerts when it updates. Respects the plan's watchlist limit.
    add_watchlist_batchFollow up to 100 datasets in one call. Skips duplicates and stops at the plan limit (reported in skipped_limit).
    remove_from_watchlistUnfollow a dataset by id.
    set_notification_preferencesaction='get' returns e-mail/Slack alert settings. action='set' changes email_notifications / slack_notifications, or turns alerts for one followed dataset on/off (dataset_id + dataset_notifications).
    list_api_keysActive REST API keys (mon_…) of the account: id, name, prefix, created/last used.
    create_api_keyCreate a REST API key (mon_…) for /api endpoints. The raw key is returned once. Limit: 3 (Essential) / 10 (Pro).
    delete_api_keyRevoke a REST API key by id. The last remaining key cannot be deleted.
    list_mcp_keysActive MCP keys (mcpk_…). The key used for this session is marked current=true.
    create_mcp_keyCreate another MCP key (mcpk_…), e.g. for a second client. The raw key is returned once.
    delete_mcp_keyRevoke an MCP key by id. The key used for the current session cannot be revoked here.
    export_datasetReturn a CSV download URL for a dataset, optionally filtered by countries and dimension values (dim1…dim8 from inspect_dataset).
