SUMMARY

What it does

AIS Agent Flight Recorder is an MCP server that provides dead-man switch functionality for AI agents and cron jobs. It allows registering a monitor for an agent or scheduled job, receiving heartbeats with a state capsule, and sending alerts to Discord/HTTPS webhooks or email when heartbeats stop. It also offers resume links and, on the Gateway key tier, stores capsules and provides fleet status.
