Drop a package.json, lockfile, Terraform or .env to see which providers you depend on, which have a problem now, and one feed for all of them.
Lockfiles, package.json and .env files are read in your browser, so only package and variable names are sent. Other files are matched and discarded. Only provider names are kept.
Supported files
package.json, package-lock.json, bun.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, Cargo.lock, go.mod, go.sum, Gemfile, Gemfile.lock, composer.lock, Terraform, docker-compose, Dockerfile, .env (names only) or a list of provider names or domains
Connect your agent
Add the down.guide MCP server to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or another agent so it can ask whether a provider is down and check a whole stack.
Set up the down.guide MCP server for me. down.guide is a free, public outage feed for 400+ cloud and SaaS providers: no login, no API key.
- Server name: down-guide
- Transport: Streamable HTTP
- URL: https://mcp.down.guide/mcp
Add it the way you normally add MCP servers (your CLI command or your MCP config file), then confirm it connects and lists its two tools, search and execute. To finish, use them to run the stack.check operation on this project's package.json or lockfile and tell me which of my providers have a problem right now.
Paste this into any coding agent. It adds the server with its own MCP setup.

Frequently asked questions
What is down.guide?
A free outage feed for people and agents. It reads the official status pages of 406 cloud, SaaS and developer providers every minute, normalizes their incidents, and labels its own evidence (visitor reports) as its own.
Where does the data come from?
Each provider's own status page (Atlassian Statuspage, incident.io, Instatus, Better Stack, status.io, and the AWS, Google Cloud, Slack and Salesforce feeds, with RSS as a fallback). Their words are quoted verbatim and linked. down.guide's own evidence is always labeled as ours, with numbers.
How do I get outage alerts in Slack or Discord?
Subscribe to a feed; there is no account or webhook to set up. https://down.guide/feed has every incident, /feed?provider=<slug> one provider, and the stack checker builds one feed for all of a project's providers. In Slack, install the RSS app and run /feed subscribe <feed URL> in a channel; in Discord, give the URL to a feed bot such as MonitoRSS. Add format=atom or format=json for Atom or JSON Feed. For scripts, GET https://down.guide/api/v1/incidents takes the same filters and pages by 30 (pass next_cursor back as cursor). To get them by email instead, use the Email tab of the subscribe form on the homepage: Instant for one or more providers (a new or worsening incident, at most one email every 15 minutes), or Daily or Weekly at 9:30am Pacific.
How is uptime calculated?
From each provider's own incidents, per component, the way Statuspage computes its own: a major outage counts as full downtime and a partial outage as 30%; degraded performance and maintenance don't count. An incident counts against the components it names, and one that names none counts as a single component unless the page lists no components at all. An incident whose updates or components name only cloud regions, under a title that doesn't (us-east-1, europe-west2), is a regional outage: it counts as a partial outage at most, and only for that share of the provider's regions, so one AWS region down isn't all of AWS down. Minor or regional issues (below) never count. The window starts at the provider's first data point.
How do agents use it?
An MCP server at https://mcp.down.guide/mcp (also /mcp on this site), a REST API under /api/v1 with the same JSON as each MCP tool, RSS/Atom/JSON feeds you can filter by provider, category, impact, region or your stack, and a .md copy of every page.
What does it cost?
Nothing, and there's no account to make. There is no token or coin, and there never will be.
Who runs it?
Sazabi, which builds AI-native observability and security. down.guide is a free Sazabi Labs project, like cve.now. It uses no Sazabi customer data.
