Cronping
MCP-native dead-man's-switch for AI agents, automation loops, cron jobs, and background workers. Your agent or job calls a ping URL after each successful run; if the ping doesn't arrive on time, Cronping alerts you by email or webhook. Unique: no account required — an agent can arm a monitor on itself in one tool call. Catches what uptime checks can't: the run that silently never happened, and zombie runs that keep pinging while making no real progress (STUCK detection). Free and instant.
