Betterstack — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Is Betterstack working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 30 of 91 checks got a reply (33.0%), average response time 162 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Betterstack 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 Betterstack?
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 Betterstack need an API key?
No. Betterstack completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Betterstack?
It answers our handshake in 162 ms on average, which is faster than 71% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Betterstack open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 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.
