MCP support

Exposes five outage and status query tools to MCP clients. It fetches data from whatbroke.today and caches responses for 60 seconds.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reshadat-outage": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "outage-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
Run commandnpx -y outage-mcp

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

From the project README

outage-mcp

npm license powered by

Ask your AI if Cloudflare is down.

An MCP server that gives Claude, Cursor, and any MCP client live outage data from whatbroke.today, which monitors 100+ service status pages continuously. No API keys, no signup.

You:    Is GitHub down right now?
Claude: GitHub has 1 active incident: [MAJOR] Git operations degraded...
        first seen 14:02 UTC. Details: whatbroke.today/incident/...

Install

Claude Desktop / Claude Code — add to your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "outage": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "outage-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code one-liner:

claude mcp add outage -- npx -y outage-mcp

Works the same in Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-capable client.

Tools

ToolWhat it answers
whats_down"What's broken right now?" Active incidents first, then recently resolved.
check_service"Is Stripe down?" Status and recent history for one service.
get_incidentFull detail for one incident, including AI root-cause analysis when available.
outage_stats"What broke most this week?" Leaderboard and totals.
list_servicesThe 100+ services being monitored.

Notes

  • Data comes from whatbroke.today, which aggregates official status pages and adds AI summaries and RCAs.
  • The upstream API is rate-limited to 5 requests/min per IP; this server caches responses for 60 seconds, which in practice keeps you under it.
  • Severity resolved means the provider closed the incident. Everything else is treated as active.

Development

New to MCP?

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.
