Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Manage status pages: components, incidents and maintenances; set live component status.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 14 things (tools) instatus_list_pages, instatus_list_components, instatus_get_component, instatus_list_incidents …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • instatus_list_pages

    List all status pages on the account — each page's id, subdomain, name, status, url, custom domain, and timestamps. The page id is what every other tool takes as `page_id`. Instatus: GET /v2/pages.

  • instatus_list_components

    List a status page's components — id, name, description, status, order, showUptime, grouped, archived. The component ids are what you set impact on. Instatus: GET /v2/{page_id}/components.

  • instatus_get_component

    Get a single component by id — its full state (name, description, status, order, showUptime, grouped, archived). Instatus: GET /v2/{page_id}/components/{component_id}.

  • instatus_list_incidents

    List a status page's incidents, most recent first — optionally filtered by status. Each incident: id, name, status, impact, affected components, updates, timestamps. Instatus: GET /v1/{page_id}/incidents.

  • instatus_get_incident

    Get a single incident by id — its full state including its update timeline and affected components. Instatus: GET /v1/{page_id}/incidents/{incident_id}.

  • instatus_list_maintenances

    List a status page's scheduled maintenances, most recent first — id, name, status, affected components, start/end, updates. Instatus: GET /v2/{page_id}/maintenances.

  • instatus_get_maintenance

    Get a single scheduled maintenance by id — its full state including its update timeline and affected components. Instatus: GET /v1/{page_id}/maintenances/{maintenance_id}.

  • instatus_update_component

    UPDATES a component by id — this MODIFIES live status-page data. The key way to set a component's operational status (OPERATIONAL, UNDERMAINTENANCE, DEGRADEDPERFORMANCE, PARTIALOUTAGE, MAJOROUTAGE). Send only the fields you want to change. Instatus: PUT /v2/{page_id}/components/{

  • instatus_create_incident

    CREATES a new incident — this MODIFIES live status-page data and can notify subscribers. Provide `name` (required); optionally set the initial `message`, affected `components`, per-component impact via `statuses`, `status`, `started`, `notify`, and `shouldPublish`. Instatus: POST

  • instatus_update_incident

    UPDATES an existing incident by id — this MODIFIES live status-page data and can notify subscribers (e.g. move it to MONITORING or RESOLVED). Send only the fields you want to change. Instatus: PUT /v1/{page_id}/incidents/{incident_id}. Returns the updated incident.

  • instatus_delete_incident

    PERMANENTLY DELETES an incident by id — this MODIFIES live status-page data and cannot be undone. Instatus: DELETE /v1/{page_id}/incidents/{incident_id}.

  • instatus_create_maintenance

    CREATES a new scheduled maintenance — this MODIFIES live status-page data and can notify subscribers. Provide `name` (required); optionally set `message`, affected `components`, per-component impact via `statuses`, `status`, `start`/`end`, `duration`, and `notify`. Instatus: POST

  • instatus_update_maintenance

    UPDATES an existing scheduled maintenance by id — this MODIFIES live status-page data and can notify subscribers. Send only the fields you want to change. Instatus: PUT /v1/{page_id}/maintenances/{maintenance_id}. Returns the updated maintenance.

  • instatus_delete_maintenance

    PERMANENTLY DELETES a scheduled maintenance by id — this MODIFIES live status-page data and cannot be undone. Instatus: DELETE /v1/{page_id}/maintenances/{maintenance_id}.

Common questions

Is Instatus MCP by usefulapi safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.35.3) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Safe Fetch

Instatus MCP by usefulapi

Manage Instatus from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — manage status pages — components, incidents and scheduled maintenances, and set live status. Hosted, no local install: connect with your Instatus API token.

Live endpoint: https://instatus.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://instatus.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http instatus https://instatus.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{

"mcpServers": { "instatus": { "url": "https://instatus.usefulapi.io/mcp" } } }

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Instatus credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/instatus/

On first connect you'll paste your Instatus API token (Instatus → Developers → API). It's validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.
