File contents

openstatus MCP server

The openstatus MCP server is a remote, streamable-HTTP endpoint at https://api.openstatus.dev/mcp. It exposes 9 tools scoped to a single workspace.

Connect

Add this to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT custom connector, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openstatus": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.openstatus.dev/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-openstatus-key": "os_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

The x-openstatus-key header is the same API key used by the CLI, REST API, and Terraform provider. Generate one in Settings → API Tokens. There is no separate MCP OAuth flow.

Tools

list_status_pages — discover pages the workspace owns.
list_page_components — discover the components on a page (id, name, type, linked monitor). Resolves the pageComponentIds accepted by the create/update tools below.
list_status_reports — read incidents on a page.
list_maintenances — read scheduled maintenance windows.
create_status_report — open a new incident.
add_status_report_update — post an update on an open incident.
resolve_status_report — close an incident.
update_status_report — edit incident metadata.
create_maintenance — schedule a maintenance window.

Every mutation tool requires an explicit notify: true | false argument. The model must decide whether subscribers are paged. There is no implicit default.

Audit

All MCP mutations are written to the workspace audit log with actor_type = 'mcp', so any change can be traced back to a key, a user, and the MCP transport.
