Overview
Downdetector MCP Server
Downdetector MCP Server connects AI agents to Downdetector's public outage-reporting service. It exposes one tool, downdetector, that returns current status and outage reports for a named service, with an optional country-domain parameter for regional data. No authentication is required since it reads Downdetector's public interface directly. Use it when an agent needs to check whether a service like Steam, Netflix, or Discord is currently down, or to get region-specific outage reports. Because it depends on Downdetector's public interface, treat responses as best-effort rather than guaranteed real-time accuracy.
What it does
Downdetector MCP Server connects AI agents to Downdetector's public outage-reporting service, giving them a way to check real-time status and outage reports for online services. It works with no authentication because it reads Downdetector's public interface directly, and it supports Downdetector's different regional domains (com, uk, it, fr, and others), so a status check can be scoped to a specific country's data rather than only the global default.
When to use - and when NOT to
Reach for this server when an agent needs to answer questions like "Is Steam down right now?", "What's the current status of Netflix?", or "Show me the recent activity for Discord" by pulling Downdetector's live reports for a named service, optionally filtered to a region. It is not a guaranteed real-time source: data comes from Downdetector's public interface and may be rate-limited, and the .com domain in particular can be intermittently unavailable behind Cloudflare protection. Service names must also match what Downdetector itself uses (matching is case-insensitive), so a lookup can fail if the agent guesses an unrecognized name.
Capabilities
The server exposes a single tool, downdetector, which returns current status and outage reports for any service monitored by Downdetector. It takes a required serviceName parameter (for example "steam", "netflix", or "twitter") and an optional domain parameter to select a specific Downdetector country domain such as "uk", "it", or "fr".
How to install
Installation is generated through the install-mcp configuration tool, which produces a ready-to-use entry for the requesting MCP client, including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, and VS Code. Contributors who want to work on the server itself can clone the GitHub repository, install dependencies with npm install, run the test suite with npm run test, and build the project with npm run build. Releases follow semantic versioning: a maintainer bumps the version with npm version, pushes with tags, and GitHub Actions publishes the new version to the NPM registry.
Who it's for
This server suits developer and support workflows that need an agent to check a third-party service's live status without maintaining a bespoke Downdetector integration.
