FortiMonitor MCP server

Ask your AI about your FortiMonitor servers, outages, maintenance windows and metrics in plain words.

Analytics For operations For it and development Monitoring

This is a helper that connects your AI assistant to FortiMonitor, the tool many IT teams use to watch their servers and networks. Once it is set up, you can ask your AI questions about your monitoring instead of clicking around the FortiMonitor website. It is handy for IT admins, support engineers and anyone who looks after servers.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to another service. This one connects your AI to FortiMonitor, so the AI can look up your servers, outages and maintenance windows for you. You ask in normal words, and the helper does the actual talking to FortiMonitor.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like which servers are down right now. The AI sends that request to this helper program. The helper logs in to FortiMonitor with your API key and asks FortiMonitor for the answer. FortiMonitor sends back the details, and the helper passes them to your AI. Your AI then explains the result to you in the chat, in plain words.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Which servers are down right now?”, the FortiMonitor MCP server connects it to FortiMonitor, and you get back plain answer in the chat.

“Which of my servers are currently in an outage?”
“Show me all outages from the last 24 hours.”
“Put server web-01 into maintenance for two hours starting now.”
“Give me a health summary of my account for this week.”

What it gives back to you

You get answers written in normal language in the chat, based on what FortiMonitor knows. That can be a list of servers, a list of open outages, a summary of metrics, or a report with numbers. If you ask it to change something, like acknowledging an outage or creating a maintenance window, it tells you what it did.

Before you start

What you need

A FortiMonitor account with access to the API
A FortiMonitor API key (a kind of password for apps; you get it from your FortiMonitor account)
Docker, or Python 3 installed on your computer, depending on which setup you choose

Good to know

It can change things in your FortiMonitor account, like acknowledging outages or creating maintenance windows, so be careful with requests that make changes and check what it did afterwards.
