# API Status Check MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for checking real-time operational status of 114+ cloud services and APIs directly from AI coding assistants.

## Features

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `check_status` | Check the status of a specific API (e.g. `github`, `openai`, `stripe`) |
| `list_apis` | List all monitored APIs and their current status |
| `list_categories` | List available service categories (cloud, payments, etc.) |
| `check_category` | Check all APIs in a specific category |
| `check_url` | Check any public URL for availability |

## Supported Services

AWS, GitHub, Stripe, OpenAI, Vercel, Cloudflare, Datadog, PagerDuty, Twilio, Shopify, Slack, Zoom, and 100+ more. Full list at [apistatuscheck.com](https://apistatuscheck.com).

## Quick Start

### Using npx

```bash
npx -y apistatuscheck-mcp-server
```

> **Broken on published version `0.1.0`.** That tarball's `dist/index.js` shipped
> without a `#!/usr/bin/env node` shebang, so the shim was executed by `sh`
> instead of Node and the command failed with `command not found`. Fixed in this
> repo (shebang added, plus an `apistatuscheck-mcp-server` bin alias so the
> command matches the package name), but the fix is not on npm yet — `0.1.1`
> needs to be published. Until then, build from source:
>
> ```bash
> git clone https://github.com/shibley/apistatuscheck-mcp-server.git
> cd apistatuscheck-mcp-server && npm install && npm run build
> node dist/index.js
> ```

### Using Docker

```bash
docker build -t apistatuscheck-mcp .
docker run -i apistatuscheck-mcp
