Heartbeat — dead-man switch for cron jobs & AI agents

Overview

Heartbeat is a dead-man switch monitoring service for cron jobs and AI agents. It detects when scheduled tasks or agent runs fail to check in and triggers dependency-cascade alerts to keep your systems coordinated. No account or authentication required to get started.

The server runs as a hosted remote service at https://golemreach.com/heartbeat/mcp, so there's nothing to install locally. Current release is v0.4.0, maintained at aniripsaretro-max/golemreach on GitHub.

Heartbeat is listed in the AI & Agents category on mcp.site and works with any MCP-compatible client including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed and others. Maintainers are welcome to claim this listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
