Read status pages, services, incidents and uptime; create draft incidents and updates in StatusHub. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the StatusHub connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For operations and support teams that publish service status and incidents on a StatusHub status page.
Count the services on a status page by condition: up, degraded or down. Then list the services and read the status history of any service that is not up.
List the incidents on a status page, newest first, and filter them by time range. Open one to read its start and end time, then read its updates.
Get the uptime percentage of a whole status page or of one service for a date range of up to 18 months.
List the planned maintenance events on a status page and open one to read its time window and affected services.
Create an incident with its first update, then post later updates on it. Each one starts as a draft, and subscribers are not notified unless you ask.
Changes dataThe login page asks for your StatusHub account subdomain, StatusHub region and StatusHub API key.
The subdomain is the first part of your StatusHub address, for example acme in acme.app.statushub.io. Create the API key in your StatusHub account. Write tools create incidents and updates as drafts that subscribers do not see, and they do not notify subscribers, unless you ask otherwise. Your key is used only to call the StatusHub API on your behalf.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"statushub": {
"url": "https://statushub.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"statushub": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://statushub.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.
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: the login page asks for your StatusHub account subdomain, StatusHub region and StatusHub API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper user | $9/mo · $90/yr | Unlimited* |
*Pro fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month on this server. For more, write to [email protected].
Pro covers this StatusHub server only. Subscribe with statushub_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with statushub_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running statushub_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by StatusHub. The server calls the StatusHub API with your own StatusHub access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.
The login page asks for your StatusHub account subdomain, StatusHub region and StatusHub API key. See Before you connect for where to find them.
No. 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: the login page asks for your StatusHub account subdomain, StatusHub region and StatusHub API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the StatusHub API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in StatusHub.
Yes, if you approve it. 2 of the 14 StatusHub tools can create or change data. The other 12 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month), for this StatusHub server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run statushub_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run statushub_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run statushub_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with statushub_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
