Get Jetpack Monitor status is a WordPress ability from Jetpack — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Get Jetpack Monitor status
Read-onlyReport whether Jetpack's Downtime Monitor is active, connected, and whether the current user gets downtime alerts.
Requires the Jetpack plugin on WordPress 6.9+. Abilities are registered by several bundled Jetpack packages (automattic/jetpack-backup, jetpack-connection, jetpack-forms, jetpack-stats) plus the main plugin's own registrars for Related Posts, Shortlinks, Sitemaps, Newsletter/Subscriptions, and Monitor. Permission requirements vary by ability — most gate on 'manage_options', 'jetpack_admin_page', or 'view_stats', while Forms abilities use 'edit_pages'. Backup abilities only register when a Backup product/plan is active; Sitemaps, Monitor, and Newsletter abilities only register when their respective module is turned on.
What it does
This ability returns the current state of Jetpack's Downtime Monitor: whether the module is active, whether the current user is connected to Jetpack, whether that user currently receives downtime email notifications, and the timestamp of the most recent up/down status transition (or null if none recorded). It makes two calls to the remote Monitor service (one of which is cached for ten minutes) and fails with jetpack_monitor_not_connected if the current user isn't connected, or jetpack_monitor_service_unreachable if the remote service can't be reached. This ability only registers while the Monitor module is active.
