Details
From the project READMEStatus.io MCP by usefulapi
Use Status.io from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — status page components, incidents, maintenance windows and subscribers, plus incident and maintenance updates. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Status.io credentials.
Live endpoint: https://status-io.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/status-io
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://status-io.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http status-io https://status-io.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"status-io": {
"url": "https://status-io.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Status.io credentials.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
