API Status Check MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for checking real-time operational status of 285 cloud services and APIs directly from AI coding assistants.

Features

ToolDescription
check_statusCheck the status of a specific API (e.g. github, openai, stripe)
list_apisList all monitored APIs and their current status
list_categoriesList available service categories (cloud, payments, etc.)
check_categoryCheck all APIs in a specific category
check_urlCheck any public URL for availability

Supported Services

AWS, GitHub, Stripe, OpenAI, Vercel, Cloudflare, Datadog, PagerDuty, Twilio, Shopify, Slack, Zoom, and 270+ more. Full list at apistatuscheck.com.

Quick Start

The server is also hosted, so the fastest path is the remote Streamable HTTP endpoint. This is the same entry the official MCP Registry advertises as io.github.shibley/apistatuscheck.

claude mcp add --transport http apistatuscheck https://apistatuscheck.com/api/mcp

For stdio-only clients:

npx -y mcp-remote https://apistatuscheck.com/api/mcp
Using npx
npx -y apistatuscheck-mcp-server

Broken on published version 0.1.0. That tarball's dist/index.js shipped without a #!/usr/bin/env node shebang, so the shim was executed by sh instead of Node and the command failed with command not found. Fixed in this repo (shebang added, plus an apistatuscheck-mcp-server bin alias so the command matches the package name), but the fix is not on npm yet — 0.1.1 needs to be published. Until then, build from source:

git clone https://github.com/shibley/apistatuscheck-mcp-server.git
cd apistatuscheck-mcp-server && npm install && npm run build
node dist/index.js
Using Docker
docker build -t apistatuscheck-mcp .
docker run -i apistatuscheck-mcp

Configuration

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json. This points at the hosted endpoint — do not use "args": ["-y", "apistatuscheck-mcp-server"], because the only version on npm (0.1.0) is the broken one described above and fails silently.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apistatuscheck": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://apistatuscheck.com/api/mcp"]
    }
  }
}
Cursor / Other MCP Clients

Same hosted endpoint via mcp-remote:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apistatuscheck": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://apistatuscheck.com/api/mcp"]
    }
  }
