Clone or download this repository:76```bash77git clone https://github.com/imprvhub/mcp-status-observer78cd mcp-status-observer79```80812. Install dependencies:82```bash83npm install84```85863. Build the project:87```bash88npm run build89```9091## Running the MCP Server9293There are two ways to run the MCP server:9495### Option 1: Running manually96971. Open a terminal or command prompt982. Navigate to the project directory993. Run the server directly:100101```bash102node build/index.js103```104105Keep this terminal window open while using Claude Desktop. The server will run until you close the terminal.106107### Option 2: Auto-starting with Claude Desktop (recommended for regular use)108109The Claude Desktop can automatically start the MCP server when needed. To set this up:110111#### Configuration112113The Claude Desktop configuration file is located at:114115- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`116- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`117- **Linux**: `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`118119Edit this file to add the Status Observer MCP configuration. If the file doesn't exist, create it:120121```json122{123 "mcpServers": {124 "statusObserver": {125 "command": "node",126 "args": ["ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_DIRECTORY/mcp-status-observer/build/index.js"]127 }128 }129}130```131132**Important**: Replace `ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_DIRECTORY` with the **complete absolute path** where you installed the MCP133 - macOS/Linux example: `/Users/username/mcp-status-observer`134 - Windows example: `C:\\Users\\username\\mcp-status-observer`135136If you already have other MCPs configured, simply add the "statusObserver" section inside the "mcpServers" object. Here's an example of a configuration with multiple MCPs:137138```json139{140 "mcpServers": {141 "otherMcp1": {142 "command": "...",143 "args": ["..."]144 },145 "otherMcp2": {146 "command": "...",147 "args": ["..."]148 },149 "statusObserver": {150 "command": "node",151 "args": [152 "ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_DIRECTORY/mcp-status-observer/build/index.js"153 ]154 }155 }156}157```158159The MCP server will automatically start when Claude Desktop needs it, based on the configuration in your `claude_desktop_config.json` file.160161## Usage1621631. Restart Claude Desktop after modifying the configuration1642. In Claude, use the `status` command to interact with the Status Observer MCP Server1653. The MCP server runs as a subprocess managed by Claude Desktop166167## Available Commands168169The Status Observer MCP provides a single tool named `status` with several commands:170171| Command | Description | Parameters | Example |172|---------|-------------|------------|---------|173| `list` | List all available platforms | None | `status list` |174| `--[platform]` | Get status for a specific platform | Platform name | `status --openrouter` |175| `--all` | Get status for all platforms | None | `status --all` |176177## Supported Platforms178179The Status Observer monitors 22 major digital platforms across various categories:180181### AI & Machine Learning (4)182- **OpenRouter** - AI model routing and access platform183- **OpenAI** - Leading AI services provider (ChatGPT, DALL-E, API)184- **Anthropic** - AI assistant provider (Claude)185- **Gemini** - Google's multimodal AI platform186187### Cloud Infrastructure (4)188- **Google Cloud Platform** - Comprehensive cloud computing services189- **DigitalOcean** - Developer-focused cloud infrastructure190- **Vercel** - Frontend deployment and edge platform191- **Netlify** - Web development and deployment platform192193### Developer Tools & Platforms (5)194- **Docker** - Container platform and services195- **GitHub** - Version control and collaboration platform196- **npm** - JavaScript package manager and registry197- **Atlassian** - Developer collaboration tools (Jira, Bitbucket, Confluence)198- **Supabase** - Open source backend platform (PostgreSQL, auth, storage)199200### Productivity & Collaboration (5)201- **LinkedIn** - Professional networking platform202- **Slack** - Business communication and collaboration203- **Asana** - Team workflow and project management204- **Dropbox** - Cloud file storage and collaboration205- **X (Twitter)** - Social media and real-time communication206207### Web Infrastructure & Security (3)208- **Cloudflare** - Web infrastructure, CDN, and security209- **Discord** - Developer community and communication platform210- **Reddit** - Social news and developer community platform211212### Analytics & Business Tools (1)213- **Amplitude** - Product analytics platform214215## Example Usage216217Here are various examples of how to use the Status Observer with Claude:218219### Direct Commands:220221```222# AI Platforms223status --openrouter224status --openai225status --anthropic226status --gemini227228# Cloud Infrastructure229status --gcp230status --vercel231status --digitalocean232status --netlify233234# Developer Tools235status --docker236status --github237status --atlassian238status --supabase239status --npm240241# Productivity & Social242status --linkedin243status --slack244status --x245status --dropbox246247# Web Infrastructure248status --cloudflare249status --discord250251# All platforms252status --all253status list254```255256### Preview257258259260### Natural Language Prompts:261262You can also interact with the MCP using natural language. Claude will interpret these requests and use the appropriate commands:263264- "Could you check if OpenRouter is having any API issues right now?"265- "What's the status of OpenAI's ChatGPT service?"266- "Has there been any recent incidents with Claude or the Anthropic API?"267- "Is Google Cloud Platform experiencing any outages in my region?"268- "Check if Docker Hub is operational for automated builds"269- "What's the current status of LinkedIn's Sales Navigator?"270- "Can you tell me if Google's Gemini AI is experiencing any service disruptions?"271- "Show me the status of all AI platforms including OpenRouter and OpenAI"272- "Are there any active incidents affecting GitHub Actions or Git operations?"273- "Check the overall health of Vercel and Netlify for my deployment pipeline"274- "Has Supabase had any recent database or authentication issues?"275- "What's the status of all major platforms right now?"276277278## Troubleshooting279280### "Server disconnected" error281If you see the error "MCP Status Observer: Server disconnected" in Claude Desktop:2822831. **Verify the server is running**:284 - Open a terminal and manually run `node build/index.js` from the project directory285 - If the server starts successfully, use Claude while keeping this terminal open2862872. **Check your configuration**:288 - Ensure the absolute path in `claude_desktop_config.json` is correct for your system289 - Double-check that you've used double backslashes (`\\`) for Windows paths290 - Verify you're using the complete path from the root of your filesystem291292### Tools not appearing in Claude293If the Status Observer tools don't appear in Claude:294- Make sure you've restarted Claude Desktop after configuration295- Check the Claude Desktop logs for any MCP communication errors296- Ensure the MCP server process is running (run it manually to confirm)297- Verify that the MCP server is correctly registered in the Claude Desktop MCP registry298299### Checking if the server is running300To check if the server is running:301302- **Windows**: Open Task Manager, go to the "Details" tab, and look for "node.exe"303- **macOS/Linux**: Open Terminal and run `ps aux | grep node`304305If you don't see the server running, start it manually or use the auto-start method.306307## Contributing308309### Adding New Status APIs310311Contributors can easily add support for additional platforms by modifying the `initializePlatforms` method in `src/index.ts`. The process is straightforward:3123131. Identify a platform's status API endpoint3142. Add a new entry using the `addPlatform` method with the following parameters:315 - `id`: A unique identifier for the platform (lowercase, no spaces)316 - `name`: The display name of the platform317 - `url`: The status API endpoint URL318 - `description`: A brief description of the platform319320Example:321```typescript322this.addPlatform('newservice', 'New Service', 'https://status.newservice.com/api/v2/summary.json', 'Description of the service');323```324325### Custom API Integration326327For platforms with non-standard status pages (like OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic), you can create custom handlers:3283291. Add the platform to `initializePlatforms()`3302. Create a TypeScript interface for the response format3313. Add a specific handler method like `getOpenRouterStatus()`3324. Update the main `getPlatformStatus()` method to route to your handler3335. Add quick status support in `getQuickPlatformStatus()`334335Example structure for custom handlers:336```typescript337private async getCustomPlatformStatus(platform: PlatformStatus): Promise<string> {338 // Custom parsing logic for your platform339 // Return formatted status text340}341```342343### Platform Categories344345When adding new platforms, consider organizing them into logical categories:346- **AI/ML**: OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini347- **Cloud Infrastructure**: GCP, AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean348- **Developer Tools**: GitHub, GitLab, Docker, npm349- **Productivity**: Slack, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace350- **Web Infrastructure**: Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai351352## License353354This project is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 - see the [LICENSE](https://github.com/imprvhub/mcp-claude-hackernews/blob/main/LICENSE) file for details.355356## Related Links357358- [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/)359- [Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai/download)360- [MCP Series](https://github.com/mcp-series)361362## Changelog363364- **2025-09-12**: Added OpenRouter integration with RSS incident tracking and detailed impact analysis365- **2025-04-26**: Added Docker status integration with comprehensive component monitoring366- **2025-03-15**: Enhanced GCP regional status reporting with incident correlation367- **2025-02-28**: Added Anthropic and Gemini AI platform monitoring368- **2025-01-20**: Initial release with core platform support (GitHub, Vercel, Cloudflare, etc.)369370---371372*Built for the developer community by [imprvhub](https://github.com/imprvhub)*
