Instatus MCP ServerVerifiedFeatured

What is Instatus MCP?

The official MCP server for Instatus. It lets an AI assistant read and update your status pages from a chat: check what's broken and why, measure uptime, post and resolve incidents, schedule maintenance, post general notices, see who's on call, and manage components and subscribers.

Connect

Server URL: https://mcp.instatus.com/mcp

When your assistant connects, Instatus opens in your browser. Sign in, choose Read and write or Read only, pick All projects or only the projects it should use, and click Allow. You don't need an API key.

• Claude: Customize → Connectors → Add → Add custom connector, then paste the URL
• Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http instatus https://mcp.instatus.com/mcp
• Cursor: add { "mcpServers": { "instatus": { "url": "https://mcp.instatus.com/mcp" } } } to ~/.cursor/mcp.json
• ChatGPT and other clients: add a custom MCP server with the URL

What you can ask

• "Is anything broken on our status page?"
• "Why is the payments webhook monitor down, and since when?"
• "What was our uptime in October?"
• "What went down last week, and for how long?"
• "Who's on call? I'm taking the API incident, acknowledge it."
• "Open an incident: the API is returning errors in Europe. Don't notify subscribers yet."
• "Schedule database maintenance on Sunday from 2 to 4am UTC."
• "Put a banner on the page about holiday support hours."

Safeguards

• Notifying subscribers is a separate choice. Nothing is sent to subscribers unless the assistant asks for it.
• No accidental duplicates. A new incident is refused if one with the same title is already open on the same components.
• Read only means read only. Instatus refuses every change on a read-only connection, whatever the assistant tries.
• Only the projects you pick. A connection limited to some projects can't see or change the others.
• Permanent actions are marked as destructive, so your assistant can check with you first.
