Set Jetpack Monitor notifications 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 →Set Jetpack Monitor notifications
WriteEnable or disable downtime email notifications for the current user.
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 turns downtime email notifications on or off for the current user via Jetpack Monitor. It is idempotent: setting the state to its current value returns changed=false. The Monitor module must be active and the current user must be connected to Jetpack; otherwise it returns jetpack_monitor_module_inactive or jetpack_monitor_not_connected. Because notifications are a per-user preference affecting only the caller's own inbox, it uses the same admin-page-level permission gate as get-monitor-status rather than a stricter capability.
