--- title: About description: Who builds WatchFor, and why: modern uptime & infrastructure monitoring for humans and AI agents, from an EU-based engineering team. canonical: https://watchfor.io/about --- # We watch the internet, so you don't have to. WatchFor is a monitoring platform that continuously checks everything you run — websites, APIs, servers, AI agents, certificates, DNS, email, ping (ICMP) and the full network path (MTR), and more — from around the world, and tells you the moment something breaks, with the detail to fix it fast. Incident detected Our mission ## Monitor anything that matters — and catch it before your customers do. If it matters to you and it lives on the internet — a website, an API, an MCP server, a certificate, a mail server, a cron job that has to run at 03:00 — we want you to be able to watch it. WatchFor runs 25 kinds of checks from 20 locations, confirms real failures before it pages anyone, and hands you the root cause, not a guess. What happens next is built in: incidents, on-call, post-mortems, reports and public status pages. It starts with one URL on the free plan and scales to millions of checks for agencies and hosting providers on the same platform. Downtime is expensive and stressful, and the worst way to learn about it is an angry customer. We're a small, motivated team of engineers with 20+ years building and operating systems at some of the world's largest companies — so we know first-hand what good monitoring and observability actually look like. We move fast, use AI every day to build well beyond our size, and we build for AI agents as much as for people: everything in the dashboard is also available through our API, MCP server and A2A. And we obsess over one thing: you find out from us, first, every time. ## Built to cover your whole stack 25 Check types HTTP, SSL, DNS, ping, Core Web Vitals, MCP servers and more. 26 Notification channels Email, Slack, Telegram, Discord, PagerDuty, Teams and more — the right people, their way. 20 Probe locations Across 7 world regions — failures confirmed from several, not one bad network. 1 → 1M+ Endpoints From a single check to platforms running at serious scale. ## What we value Signal over noise We confirm failures from several locations before we ever page you — real problems, not momentary blips. Watch anything If it's on the internet and it matters, you should be able to monitor it. 25 check types, and growing. Honest and transparent Clear root cause, public status pages, and an interface that tells you the truth — no dark patterns. Built to be relied on We sweat reliability, because you're trusting us to watch the things you can't afford to lose. ## Built for the agent era WatchFor is designed to be operated by AI agents as comfortably as by humans — REST API, MCP servers, an A2A agent, SDKs and cryptographically verifiable probes. Independent scanners agree: [Agent quickstart →](/agents.md) ## Something bigger or non-standard? Running a hosting platform or provider, monitoring fleets of AI agents, or watching hundreds of thousands of domains, web apps, DNS, email, endpoints and APIs? We design solutions at every scale — from a handful of checks to well over a million endpoints. More than 1,000,000 to monitor? Not a problem. Tell us what you're working with and we'll tailor a solution that fits.
