Claude Ops
AI-powered infrastructure monitoring and remediation. Claude Code runs on a schedule, discovers your services, health-checks everything, and fixes what it can — escalating to smarter (more expensive) models only when something is actually broken.
How It Works
Claude Ops runs as a Docker container. Every 60 minutes (configurable), it:
- Discovers your infrastructure by scanning mounted repos for service definitions
- Checks every service — HTTP endpoints, DNS, container state, database health, service-specific APIs
- Escalates if issues are found, using progressively more capable (and costly) models
- Remediates within safety guardrails — restarting containers, rotating API keys, redeploying services
- Notifies you via Apprise (80+ services: email, ntfy, Slack, Discord, Telegram, etc.)
Model Escalation
Cost efficiency
On a healthy day, you spend ~$1-2 running 24 Haiku checks. Sonnet and Opus tokens are only spent when something is broken. See Model Selection for per-tier cost breakdowns.
Key Features
- Automation-agnostic: Works with Ansible, Docker Compose, Helm, or no automation at all
- Repo discovery: Mount any number of infrastructure repos under
/repos/ - Tiered permissions: Haiku can only observe, Sonnet can restart, Opus can redeploy
- Cooldown safety: Rate limits on restarts and redeployments
- Browser automation: Optional Chrome sidecar for web UI interactions
- Extensible via MCP: Docker, PostgreSQL, Chrome DevTools, and Fetch MCP servers included
- Notifications via Apprise: 80+ notification services supported
- Real-time dashboard: Track sessions, events, memories, and cooldowns live
