OpenAI ✅ · Anthropic ✅ · GitHub Copilot ✅ · Cursor ✅ — all operational.

What's Anthropic's 30-day uptime?

Anthropic: 99.97% uptime over the last 30 days. Last incident: 4 days ago (resolved in 2h).

These are example responses. Live answers use real-time data refreshed every 5 minutes.

Setup — 3 steps, ~30 seconds

Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and any MCP-compatible AI client (Cursor, Zed, Continue, etc.).

Open your Claude Desktop config file

Usually at:

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

Add Prismix to your mcpServers

Paste this into the config (merge with existing servers if you have any):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "prismix-status": {
      "url": "https://prismix.dev/api/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop and ask

The prismix-status server appears in Claude's tool list automatically. Try: "Is Anthropic down right now?"

Two MCP tools

check_ai_status

Query by provider name (partial match — "openai", "anthropic", "cursor"). Returns current indicator, active incident count, 30-day uptime percentage, and a link to the status page. Omit the parameter to check all providers.

list_ai_services

Returns all 77+ tracked services as a table with IDs, categories, and current status indicators. Useful for "which AI services are you tracking?" or "show me a full status summary."

Technical details

Transport Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0 over POST) Protocol 2024-11-05 Endpoint https://prismix.dev/api/v1/mcp Auth None — free, no API key CORS Enabled (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *) Data freshness Status cache refreshed every ~5 minutes via cron Rate limit 60 req/hr anonymous — same as REST API

For raw JSON access, use the REST API instead. The MCP server is a thin wrapper that reads from the same KV snapshot.

FAQ

Does this work with Claude Code (the CLI)?

Yes. Add the same config to claude_desktop_config.json and Claude Code picks it up automatically. Or run it from the CLI: claude --mcp-server https://prismix.dev/api/v1/mcp.

Does it work with Cursor, Zed, or Continue?

Any MCP-compatible client that supports the Streamable HTTP transport (protocol 2024-11-05) can connect. Most clients released after late 2024 support it. Check your client's docs for how to add an HTTP-based MCP server.

How fresh is the status data?

The status cache refreshes every 5 minutes via a scheduled cron. In practice you get data that's ≤5 minutes old. During incidents, each provider's own status page is the authoritative source — Prismix mirrors it.

Is there a cost?

No. The MCP server and all status data are free. Prismix Pro ($10/mo) adds email/webhook alerts, digest emails, and larger API rate limits — but the MCP endpoint is free forever.

Can I use this in my own MCP application?

Yes — CORS is enabled so you can call the endpoint from any origin. The tools accept standard JSON-RPC 2.0 requests. See the API docs for the full request/response shape.
