Available tools 6

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

apis
list_apis
List the APIs and developer platforms this service monitors, optionally filtered by category. Statuses are from the most recent hourly monitor run, not a live probe.
search_apis
Find monitored APIs by name, slug, category or description. Use this to resolve a product name the user mentioned into the slug the other tools take.
api
get_api_status
Probe a monitored API endpoint at call time and return up/degraded/down with the response time. This is the tool to reach for when a user asks "is X down?" — it makes a real request rather than reading the hourly cache.
categories
list_categories
Category slugs and how many monitored APIs sit in each. Use the slugs with list_apis.
down
list_down_apis
Everything the most recent monitor run found down or degraded, across all categories. Returns an empty list when the monitor snapshot is missing or stale — an empty list is therefore not proof that everything is healthy; check monitorLastRun.
uptime
get_uptime_history
Uptime percentages, response-time stats and recorded data points for one API over a time range. History is retained for 30 days; an API added recently will have few or no data points, which reads as null percentages rather than 100%.

API Status Check — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can API Status Check do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_api_status, get_uptime_history, list_apis, list_categories, list_down_apis, search_apis. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is API Status Check working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 59 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists API Status Check as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect API Status Check?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does API Status Check need an API key?
No. API Status Check completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
Is API Status Check open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
