What is Internet Outage Checker by FindBroadband?
A hosted MCP server that tells an AI assistant whether a UK broadband provider is down right now, where, what the provider has said and how the last 30 days have gone. It runs on the same data as FindBroadband's outage tracker at https://www.findbroadbanddeals.com/is-my-broadband-down. Free, no account or API key, read only.

- "Is BT down right now?"
- "Is there a broadband outage in the UK at the moment?"
- "Has Virgin Media had any problems this week?"
Where the status comes from
Where FindBroadband can read a provider's own status page, that decides the status. For the rest it comes from public reports, which the provider hasn't confirmed. There is no outage data for individual addresses, so the assistant can say what's been reported and where, not whether your own line is affected.
