What you can do with Status.io in Claude and ChatGPT

For engineering and support teams who run a public status page with Status.io.

Check the current state of your status page

The AI reads the overall status, every component and container with its status, open incidents and upcoming maintenance in one view.

Review active or resolved incidents and their updates

The AI lists active or resolved incidents with their messages and affected components, and opens one incident in full.

See pending, active or finished maintenance

The AI lists maintenance events by state, pending, active or closed, with messages and affected components.

Open an incident, post updates and resolve it

The AI opens an incident on the public status page, posts update messages with state and component status, and resolves it with a closing message. Notifications go out only if you switch them on.

Changes data

Schedule, start and finish a maintenance event

The AI schedules a planned maintenance event, starts it, posts status messages and finishes it, so visitors see the right state at each step.

Changes data

Change a component's public status

The AI sets a component and container to a status such as degraded_performance without creating an incident, and back to operational later.

How do I connect Status.io?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your API ID, API key and Status page id.

Find the API ID and API key in your Status.io Dashboard → API tab; the status page id is on the same tab. Each team member has their own pair, and the pair acts with that member's permissions. They are used only to call the Status.io API on your behalf and are never shown to anyone.

Claude claude.ai · Desktop

Open Customize → Connectors, then click + Add → Add custom connector.
Enter the name Status.io and this URL, then click Add:
https://status-io.usefulapi.io/mcp
Claude opens the login page: enter your API ID, API key and Status page id.
In a chat, click + → Connectors and turn on Status.io.

Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.

ChatGPT chatgpt.com

Open Plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server.
Enter the name Status.io and this URL, choose OAuth as the authentication, confirm the warning and create it:
https://status-io.usefulapi.io/mcp
ChatGPT opens the login page: enter your API ID, API key and Status page id.
In Plugins, install Status.io, then choose it in a chat.

No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.

Claude Code

Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:

claude mcp add --transport http status-io https://status-io.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

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

VS Code

Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "status-io": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://status-io.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:

codex mcp add status-io --url https://status-io.usefulapi.io/mcp

codex mcp login status-io

Other clients

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.

https://status-io.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: the login page asks for your API ID, API key and Status page id. 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.

Pricing

Plan	Price	Limit
Free	$0	50 tool calls / month
Proper user	$9/mo · $90/yr	10,000 tool calls / month
Pro+per user	$39/mo · $390/yr	100,000 tool calls / month

Each paid plan covers this Status.io server only. Ask your AI to run statusio_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with statusio_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with statusio_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

Update component statusstatusio_update_component_status
WRITE: change the PUBLIC status of one component/container pair (for example to degraded_performance) without creating an incident. It changes what visitors of your status page see right away. Set it back to operational when done. Ids from statusio_list_components.
Create incidentstatusio_create_incident
WRITE: open a new incident on the PUBLIC status page. It is visible to every visitor immediately and sets the status of the affected components. No subscriber, Slack, Teams, IRC or Twitter notification is sent unless you switch it on (notify_*). Returns the new incident id. Say what is affected with all_infrastructure_affected or infrastructure_affected pairs.
Update incidentstatusio_update_incident
WRITE: post a new update message on an existing incident and set its state and component status. The message is public at once. No subscriber or channel notification is sent unless you switch it on (notify_*). To close an incident use statusio_resolve_incident.
Resolve incidentstatusio_resolve_incident
WRITE: resolve an incident with a closing message. The affected components return to operational and the incident moves to history. No notification is sent unless you switch it on (notify_*).
Schedule maintenancestatusio_schedule_maintenance
WRITE: schedule a planned maintenance on the PUBLIC status page. It is visible to visitors as upcoming maintenance. Subscribers are told only if you switch on notify_now / notify_72_hr / notify_24_hr / notify_1_hr (all default off). With automation true Status.io starts and ends it by itself at the planned times. Returns the maintenance id.
Start maintenancestatusio_start_maintenance

Your usefulapi plan · 4

Usage status (free-tier meter)statusio_usage_status
Report the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter.
Request a missing featurestatusio_request_feature
Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Status.io tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter.
Upgrade to Pro or Pro+statusio_upgrade
Get a paid plan for Status.io (the free tier caps monthly usage). Pro: 10,000 tool calls a month, for normal use — plan "monthly" ($9/month) or "yearly" ($90/year, 2 months free). Pro+: 100,000 tool calls a month, for automations and heavy use — plan "plus" ($39/month) or "plus_yearly" ($390/year). Without a plan it returns both Pro and Pro+, each with a payment link, for the user to choose; with a plan, one link. An existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place: call without confirm first, as the reply states the exact charge for this account (the price difference for the rest of the period, or in a free Pro trial the full Pro+ price, as the trial ends); then call with confirm: true. Cancel any time: the plan then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. A link opens Stripe Checkout in the browser; after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter.
Cancel the Pro subscriptionstatusio_cancel_subscription
Cancel the caller's Status.io Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run statusio_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with Status.io in Claude or ChatGPT?

Check the current state of your status page. Review active or resolved incidents and their updates. See pending, active or finished maintenance. Open an incident, post updates and resolve it. Schedule, start and finish a maintenance event. Change a component's public status. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official Status.io product?

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Status.io. The server calls the Status.io API with your own Status.io access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.

Can I connect Status.io to Claude or ChatGPT?

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.

What do I need to connect?

The login page asks for your API ID, API key and Status page id. See Before you connect for where to find them.

Do I put my Status.io key or an Authorization header in the client config?

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 API ID, API key and Status page id. 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.

How do you keep my Status.io credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Status.io 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 Status.io.

Can the AI change my Status.io data?

Yes, if you approve it. 8 of the 20 Status.io 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.

What does it cost?

The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Status.io server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run statusio_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run statusio_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run statusio_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a Status.io tool that I need is missing?

Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with statusio_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.

Which AI clients can I use?

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.
