Frequently asked questions
Does Checkly have an MCP server?
Checkly ships an MCP integration covering its synthetic monitoring, API checks, and reporting. It's strong on browser-based synthetic depth — Playwright runs are a first-class concept.
Where does Lemwatch MCP win?
MCP surface design: live Resources (lemwatch://) the agent can subscribe to without burning tool budget, 5 Prompt playbooks, RBAC enforcement on every tool call, and free-tier MCP access. Plus SEO and Core Web Vitals tools that Checkly's MCP doesn't cover.
Where does Checkly win?
Synthetic browser checks. If your AI workflow needs to drive a real Chromium session (multi-step login, form submission, JS-heavy SPA), Checkly's Playwright tooling is purpose-built for that. Lemwatch focuses on observable signals — uptime, performance, SSL, SEO, security headers, visual change — without owning the synthetic browser layer.
Best fit for each?
Lemwatch MCP for fleet observability + SEO/perf + agency-style reporting. Checkly MCP for deep synthetic-browser test orchestration. Both cleanly coexist as separate MCP servers in the same client.
