Quick Start

Hosted endpoint (recommended — nothing to install)

The server is also hosted, so the fastest path is the remote Streamable HTTP endpoint. This is the same entry the official MCP Registry advertises as io.github.shibley/apistatuscheck.

claude mcp add --transport http apistatuscheck https://apistatuscheck.com/api/mcp

For stdio-only clients:

npx -y mcp-remote https://apistatuscheck.com/api/mcp

Using npx

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:

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

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

Configuration

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json. This points at the hosted endpoint — do not use "args": ["-y", "apistatuscheck-mcp-server"], because the only version on npm (0.1.0) is the broken one described above and fails silently.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apistatuscheck": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://apistatuscheck.com/api/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor / Other MCP Clients

Same hosted endpoint via mcp-remote:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apistatuscheck": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://apistatuscheck.com/api/mcp"]
    }
  }
}
