updown.io MCP by usefulapi

Use updown.io from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — check uptime status, downtimes and response-time metrics, and create checks, recipients and status pages. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own updown.io credentials.

Live endpoint: https://updown-io.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/updown-io

Connect

• Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://updown-io.usefulapi.io/mcp.
• Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http updown-io https://updown-io.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
• VS Code: Add to VS Code.
• Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "updown-io": {
      "url": "https://updown-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 updown.io credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/updown-io/

On first connect you'll provide your updown.io API key (Settings > API keys; read-only key for reads, read/write key to make changes). They're validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.
