LoopSense MCP server

Let your AI watch CI runs, processes, files, and web addresses, then tell you what happened.

Developer tools For it and development Developer Tools

LoopSense is a helper that lets your AI keep an eye on things that change over time, like a code test run, a file being edited, or a web address going up or down. It is made for people who use AI coding tools and want the AI to notice what happens after it does something, instead of guessing. If you have ever pushed code and wondered whether the tests passed, this is for you.

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 something outside the chat. LoopSense is that helper, and its skill is watching things for you: it can look at a GitHub Actions run, a local process, a folder, or a web address and report back. Once it is connected, your AI can ask LoopSense what is going on and use the answer in its reply to you.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI to keep an eye on something, like a test run or a web address. The AI tells LoopSense to start watching it. LoopSense checks that thing again and again on a schedule, or listens for a message from a service. When something changes, LoopSense writes it down as an event. Later, you or the AI can ask LoopSense what happened, and it gives back a list of events with times and details.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Watch my test run and tell me when it finishes”, the LoopSense MCP server keeps repeating: you pick something to watch, it checks again and again, it writes down what changed, it tells you what happened, and you get back A short report of what happened.

Try asking your AI

“Watch the CI run on my main branch and tell me when it finishes”
“Run npm test in my project folder and show me the output”
“Keep an eye on this health check URL and tell me if it stops returning ok”
“What happened after my deploy action called deploy-2024-01”

What it gives back to you

LoopSense gives back lists of events, each with a time, a source, and details like a status code, an exit code, or the text that changed. It can also give you a summary of everything that happened for a specific action you named. In the chat, you will see this as a short report or a table of events. If you asked it to run a command, you also get the command's output and its exit code.

Before you start

What you need

Node.js 18 or newer installed on your computer
A GitHub personal access token if you want to watch GitHub Actions runs (a kind of password for apps; GitHub gives you one for free in your account settings)

Good to know

LoopSense can run commands on your computer and read files, so only point it at folders and commands you trust.
