Ask your AI if Cloudflare is down.

An MCP server that gives Claude, Cursor, and any MCP client live outage data from [whatbroke.today](https://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:

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

**Claude Code one-liner:**

```bash
claude mcp add outage -- npx -y outage-mcp
```

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

## Tools

| Tool | What 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_incident` | Full detail for one incident, including AI root-cause analysis when available. |
| `outage_stats` | "What broke most this week?" Leaderboard and totals. |
| `list_services` | The 100+ services being monitored. |

## Notes

- Data comes from [whatbroke.today](https://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

```bash
git clone https://github.com/reshadat/outage-mcp

npm run build
node dist/index.js   # speaks MCP over stdio

TDQS

A4.1/5.0

Scored across 4 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct query: check_service for a specific service's history, get_incident for incident details, list_services for the service catalog, and whats_down for current active outages. There is no confusion.

Naming Consistency3/5

Three tools follow verb_noun pattern (check_service, get_incident, list_services), but 'whats_down' breaks the pattern with informal phrasing and no underscore.

Tool Count5/5

4 tools is well-scoped for an outage monitoring server, covering the essential operations without unnecessary bloat.

Completeness4/5

The server covers the main use cases: listing services, checking specific history, current outages, and incident details. However, it lacks a global incident list or ability to search incidents across services, which is a minor gap.
