openstatus — Claude Code MCP server: features and setup
Manage openstatus monitors, status pages, incidents, and maintenance windows through an AI agent.
claude mcp add --transport http mcp https://api.openstatus.dev/mcpWhat openstatus does
The MCP server connects an AI agent to an openstatus workspace. Use it to manage monitors, status pages, incidents, and maintenance windows from an agent conversation. It fits workflows where you need to update service status or handle an incident without switching to the dashboard.
openstatus also lets teams define monitors and status pages in YAML or Terraform, then apply changes through the CLI or CI. Incidents can be handled from the dashboard or Slack, and agent access goes through MCP. In Claude Code, add the server with claude mcp add --transport http openstatus https://api.openstatus.dev/mcp.
What it helps with
- create or update a service monitor
- change a status page
- declare an incident and update its state
- schedule a maintenance window
Example prompts for the agent
- Create a monitor for this service in openstatus.
- Update the status page to show that the service is back.
- Declare an incident and add a progress note.
