UptimeAgent

An MCP app on the Model Context Protocol built by Team Bloopers at the Amrita University Coimbatore NitroStack × MCP To The Moon hackathon and deployed on NitroStack.

About this project

Problem: Manufacturers run one of two costly maintenance strategies. Reactive maintenance fixes machines only after failure, causing expensive unplanned downtime. Fixed-schedule maintenance services machines on a calendar regardless of actual condition, wasting money on machines that are still healthy. Predictive maintenance — servicing a machine exactly when its sensor data says it needs it — solves both, but normally requires a human to notice an anomaly, then separately estimate its severity, then separately request a repair recommendation. Solution: UptimeAgent removes those manual hops by exposing three MCP tools designed to be chained autonomously by an LLM agent in a single turn. analyze_sensor_reading compares a machine's recent sensor readings against its own healthy baseline to detect anomalies. predict_failure_window fits a trend line to project remaining useful life in cycles/days, with a confidence score. generate_work_order combines both analyses with a maintenance-manual lookup to produce an actionable ticket: urgency level, issue description, recommended repair action, and estimated remaining life. Asking the agent "How's Engine 3 doing?" triggers all three tools in sequence, unprompted, ending in a finished maintenance ticket.

Who built UptimeAgent?
UptimeAgent was built by team Team Bloopers at the Amrita University Coimbatore NitroStack × MCP To The Moon hackathon, in the Manufacturing & Industry 4.0 track.
What is an MCP app and how is it built?
An MCP app is an application built on the Model Context Protocol — an open standard that lets AI agents connect to tools, data, and APIs. This project exposes MCP tools and resources that agentic AI systems can call. It was built and deployed on NitroStack, the full-stack platform for shipping MCP apps and servers.
