About this Server

API Status Check MCP (`apistatuscheck`) provides AI agents with hosted, unauthenticated live uptime probes and incident history across 285 APIs in 30 categories. Instead of hallucinating status from outdated training data or parsing complex status pages, agents can run direct live probes, inspect 30-day uptime metrics, list degraded services, and compare vendor reliability with real response times and timestamps.

Real-time Interaction

Direct low-latency RPC protocol communication with structured JSON schemas.

Scoped Sandboxing

Restricted capability bounds to prevent accidental modifications or leakage.

Security & Best Practices

Zero Auth Required: Completely public, read-only remote streamable HTTP endpoint requiring no API keys or secrets.
No Conversation Storage: Server neither stores conversation content nor tracks which specific service slugs your agent probes.
Pure Probe Evidence: Probes confirm endpoint reachability (even 401/403 responses count as live proof of service uptime).

When to Use (and When Not To)

Best For
  • •Verifying whether an external cloud API (OpenAI, Stripe, GitHub, AWS) is experiencing an active outage
  • •Triaging webhook delivery failures or intermittent 500/502 gateway errors during development
  • •Comparing reliability metrics across competing SaaS or infrastructure APIs before adoption
Not For / Limitations
  • •Kubernetes cluster internal pod troubleshooting and kubectl rollout scaling (use Kubernetes MCP instead)
  • •Postman workspace collections and environment variable testing (use Postman MCP instead)
  • •Reverse engineering binary and JavaScript Electron bundles (use REA MCP instead)

Install & Setup

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

Exposed Tools & Endpoints

8 tools

Functions your AI agent can invoke via this Model Context Protocol server

get_api_status

Probes an API endpoint in real-time returning up/degraded/down status, live response time ms, and hourly monitor status.

search_apis

Searches the 285 monitored APIs by product name, category, or description to resolve its canonical slug.

list_apis

Lists all monitored APIs in the catalog, optionally filtered by one of the 30 category slugs.

list_down_apis

Lists all APIs currently marked as down or degraded by the latest hourly monitor sweep across all categories.

get_uptime_history

Retrieves 24h, 7d, or 30d uptime percentages, response-time stats, and historical latency data points.

get_incident_history

Fetches vendor-published status incidents including start/end timestamps, severity, and affected components.

rank_reliability

Compares and ranks multiple vendor APIs by downtime minutes, incident count, and MTTR.

list_categories

Lists all 30 monitored API categories with total service counts in each.
