}Frequently asked questions
What is the ilert MCP server?
It is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server — a small piece of software that gives AI assistants like Claude a secure, governed connection to ilert. Incident management, on-call scheduling, and alert routing through natural language.
Is there an official ilert MCP server?
Yes. The ilert MCP server is an official integration, maintained by the vendor or the Model Context Protocol project, which makes it the safest default for business use. It is maintained by ilert.
Is the ilert MCP server hosted, or do I run it myself?
It is hosted. ilert runs the endpoint at https://mcp.ilert.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install: you add the URL to your AI client and supply an API key.
Do I need an API key for the ilert MCP server?
Yes. The hosted server expects an API key from your ilert account, sent in the Authorization header. Store it in your client's secret settings rather than pasting it into shared config files.
What can an AI assistant actually do with ilert?
Through this server an assistant can work with incidents, on-call, alerts, status pages — reading from and acting on ilert directly instead of you copy-pasting between windows. What you allow it to do is controlled by the permissions you grant.
How do I set this up for my business?
The setup section above has copy-paste config for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code. If you want it rolled out across a team with permissions, governance and support handled, that is what Crox's Build engagement covers.
