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

Supported Services

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

Quick Start

Hosted endpoint (recommended — nothing to install)

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:

bashCopy

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:

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