Automate Website Monitoring with GPT-4 Mini, MCP Tools & Multi-channel Alerts

Description

How it works
This workflow automatically monitors multiple websites using AI-powered analysis and MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools. The system runs scheduled checks, analyzes website performance and security using browser-tools-mcp and mcp-recon servers, categorizes issues by severity (critical, warning, info), sends appropriate alerts through Slack and email, and logs all findings to Google Sheets for historical tracking and trend analysis.

Who is this for
DevOps engineers, website administrators, system monitors, digital agencies, and technical teams responsible for maintaining multiple websites. Perfect for organizations that need automated website health monitoring with intelligent analysis, comprehensive security checks, and immediate alerting for critical issues.

Requirements
MCP Servers**: Browser-tools-mcp and mcp-recon servers running locally or remotely
OpenAI API**: API key for AI-powered website analysis
Google Sheets**: Spreadsheet with "Websites" and "Monitoring Log" sheets
Slack Integration**: Slack workspace with webhook or bot token for alerts
Email Configuration**: SMTP settings for critical email notifications
Environment Variables**: Secure storage for all credentials and endpoints

How to set up
Install and Configure MCP Servers - Set up browser-tools-mcp and mcp-recon servers, configure endpoints in environment variables (MCP_BROWSER_TOOLS_URL, MCP_RECON_URL)
Prepare Google Sheets Integration - Create spreadsheet with "Websites" sheet (URL column) and "Monitoring Log" sheet, set GOOGLE_SHEET_ID environment variable
Configure Notification Systems - Set up Slack webhook/bot and email SMTP settings, configure SLACK_CHANNEL, ALERT_EMAIL, FROM_EMAIL variables
Customize Monitoring Parameters - Update Configuration Variables node with your monitoring thresholds, batch sizes, and website lists

How to customize the workflow
Modify the Configuration Variables node to adjust monitoring thresholds (response times, performance scores), change batch processing sizes, update notification preferences, or add additional websites to monitor. Customize alert severity rules in the Alert Severity Router and modify notification templates in the Slack and Email nodes.
