📈 MCP Status Observer [Node.js - Status APIs - Claude Desktop]

MCP Status Observer is an integration that allows Claude Desktop to monitor and query the operational status of major digital platforms using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This utility provides real-time status information for critical services like GitHub, Cloudflare, Vercel, and many more.

Demo

Key Features:

• Comprehensive Platform Coverage: Monitor all major digital platforms (GitHub, Slack, Discord, Cloudflare, etc.)
• Detailed Status Information: Get granular details for specific services and components
• Simple Query Interface: Use intuitive commands like status --github or natural language
• Real-time Updates: Access the latest operational status of critical services
• Actionable Insights: Identify service disruptions before they impact your workflows
• Continuously Updated: Regular additions of new platform integrations

Technical Overview:

• Node.js Backend: Efficient, lightweight service built on modern Typescript
• Model Context Protocol (MCP): Seamless integration with Claude Desktop
• Multiple Status APIs: Unified interface for diverse status reporting systems
• Real-time Data Fetching: Fresh status information with each request
• Intelligent Natural Language Processing: Convert conversational queries into precise API requests
• Extensible Architecture: Easy to add support for additional platforms

Installation Guide:

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/mcp-series/mcp-status-observer
cd mcp-status-observer

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the project
npm run build

MCP Server Configuration:

Configure the Claude Desktop to integrate with the Status Observer:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "statusObserver": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["PATH_TO_DIRECTORY/mcp-status-observer/build/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Available Commands:

The Status Observer MCP provides a single tool named status with several commands:

• status list: List all available platforms
• status —[platform]: Get status for a specific platform (e.g., status --github)
• status —all: Get status for all platforms

Supported Platforms:

• Amplitude
• Anthropic
• Asana
• Atlassian
• Cloudflare
• DigitalOcean
• Discord
• Docker
• Dropbox
• Google Cloud Platform
• Google Gemini
• GitHub
• LinkedIn
• Netlify
• NPM
• OpenAI
• Reddit
• Slack
• Twilio
• Vercel
• X (Twitter)
• And more (continuously updated)

System Requirements:

• Node.js 16 or higher
• Claude Desktop application

Security Considerations:

• No user authentication required
• No personal data collected or stored
• All queries are processed locally

Use Cases:

• DevOps Monitoring: Quickly check if service issues are local or provider-wide
• Incident Response: Get comprehensive status updates during outages
• Service Dependency Management: Monitor critical dependencies in your tech stack
• Troubleshooting: Determine if unexpected behavior is related to service outages
• Status Reporting: Generate accurate service status reports for stakeholders
• Pre-deployment Checks: Verify service health before critical deployments
• Multi-platform Monitoring: Track status across your entire infrastructure from one interface

This integration demonstrates how AI assistants can bridge the gap between diverse status reporting systems, providing a unified interface for monitoring critical services through natural language interaction.
