ThousandEyes MCP: network outages and alerts in a chat

When an app your team relies on slows down, ask whether ThousandEyes sees an outage. ThousandEyes' MCP server gives your AI app its network intelligence on outages, anomalies, alerts, events and tests. ContextGate connects it to Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, so incident questions get answered in a chat and every lookup is kept in Activity.

  4. 4Ask your AI app whether ThousandEyes saw any outages or anomalies in the last hour, then open Activity to see the call.

Monitoring data, watched
