Openstatus API

Call the openstatus public API (ConnectRPC, JSON over HTTP) to manage monitors, status pages, status reports, and maintenance windows. Use when building integrations, automating monitoring as code, or driving openstatus from a script outside an MCP client.

File contents

openstatus API

The openstatus API is a typed, JSON-over-HTTP layer powered by ConnectRPC. The base URL is https://api.openstatus.dev. Every action the dashboard performs is reachable from the API — same workspace, same audit log, same single API key.

Auth

Send the API key as the x-openstatus-key header. Generate one in Settings → API Tokens.

x-openstatus-key: os_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Example: list monitors

curl https://api.openstatus.dev/rpc/openstatus.v1.MonitorService/ListMonitors \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-openstatus-key: $OPENSTATUS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{}'

ConnectRPC accepts both JSON and protobuf. POST is required even for read operations.

When to use this vs MCP

API → programmatic integrations, CI/CD, scripts.
MCP server (openstatus-mcp skill) → chat-shaped AI clients that need to read and update status pages.
