MCP Status Observer

An integration that allows Claude Desktop to monitor and query the operational status of major digital platforms including AI providers, cloud services, and developer tools using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

[!IMPORTANT] This project is continuously updated with new platform integrations. If you're not seeing a service that should be available, or if Claude doesn't recognize a platform, please update by running npm run build from a freshly cloned repository.

Demo

Requirements

• Node.js 16 or higher
• Claude Desktop
• Internet connection to access status APIs

Installation

Installing Manually

1. Clone or download this repository:

git clone https://github.com/imprvhub/mcp-status-observer
cd mcp-status-observer

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Build the project:

npm run build

Running the MCP Server

There are two ways to run the MCP server:

Option 1: Running manually

1. Open a terminal or command prompt
2. Navigate to the project directory
3. Run the server directly:

node build/index.js

Keep this terminal window open while using Claude Desktop. The server will run until you close the terminal.

Option 2: Auto-starting with Claude Desktop (recommended for regular use)

The Claude Desktop can automatically start the MCP server when needed. To set this up:

Configuration

The Claude Desktop configuration file is located at:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Edit this file to add the Status Observer MCP configuration. If the file doesn't exist, create it:

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

Important: Replace ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_DIRECTORY with the complete absolute path where you installed the MCP

• macOS/Linux example: /Users/username/mcp-status-observer
• Windows example: C:\\Users\\username\\mcp-status-observer

If 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:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "otherMcp1": {
      "command": "...",
      "args": ["..."]
    },
    "otherMcp2": {
      "command": "...",
      "args": ["..."]
    },
    "statusObserver": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_DIRECTORY/mcp-status-observer/build/index.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}

The MCP server will automatically start when Claude Desktop needs it, based on the configuration in your claude_desktop_config.json file.

Usage

1. Restart Claude Desktop after modifying the configuration
2. In Claude, use the status command to interact with the Status Observer MCP Server
3. The MCP server runs as a subprocess managed by Claude Desktop
