StatusCraft MCP server
by jabbawocky
Ask your AI if a service like GitHub, Slack or Stripe is down, and get a live answer from its official status page.
StatusCraft is a small helper that lets your AI check whether a software service is working right now. It looks at the official status pages of over 3,300 services, so you get a real answer instead of a guess. It is handy for anyone who gets stuck waiting on a tool and wonders if the problem is on their side or the service's side.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you from what it already knows. An MCP server is a small helper program you connect once, and it gives your AI a new skill. This one gives your AI a direct line to the status pages of many software services. So when you ask "is GitHub down?", your AI uses this helper to fetch the live answer and tells you.
What this MCP server does
You ask your AI a question like "is Sentry having issues?". Your AI passes that question to StatusCraft. StatusCraft looks up the service's official status page and reads the current state. If something is broken, it also pulls the incident details, like what is affected and when it started. Then your AI shows you a short, clear answer in the chat.

What it gives back to you
You get a short answer in the chat, like "operational" or "degraded". When something is not working, you also get the incident name, how serious it is, when it started, and the latest update from the service. For a list of services, you get them grouped by status so you can see at a glance what is fine and what is not.
