## Description
Your customers and their AI agents rely on your MCP server. When it goes down, they
notice first – unless you do.
MCPServerStatus (https://mcpserverstatus.com) is an uptime monitoring service for
Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It runs regular health checks against MCP
endpoints, records availability, and sends downtime alerts when a server stops responding.
This plugin brings that live server status onto your WordPress site as a small,
honest status badge: operational, degraded, down or unknown.
Show visitors that your MCP server, AI tools or API endpoints are up – or show the
status of the MCP servers your own product depends on.
#### Features
* **Live status badge** – operational, degraded, down or unknown, updated from
the latest checks.
* **Shortcode:** `[mcp_status slug="github"]` – place the badge in any post or
page.
* **Block:** “MCP Server Status Badge” in the block editor.
* **Classic widget:** “MCP Server Status Badge” for sidebars and footers.
* **Footer badge:** optional and off by default – turn on “Show badge in footer”
in Settings > MCP Server Status.
* **Connect your account (optional):** click “Connect to MCPServerStatus”, sign
in or create a free account, and pick one of your monitors from a dropdown –
or add a new MCP server right from WordPress. Shows the monitor’s status, last
check and uptime on the settings page.
* **Easy setup:** paste a server slug or a full mcpserverstatus.com server URL
and the plugin works out the slug. Use a monitor public ID from your MCPServerStatus
dashboard to show your own monitor.
* **Lightweight:** the badge is a plain, CDN-cached image. Unless you connect your
account, the plugin makes no server-side requests, and it never adds tracking.
#### How it works
1. MCPServerStatus monitors MCP servers from its own infrastructure. The free plan
includes hourly uptime checks and email outage alerts; paid plans check more often.
2. You pick a server (from the public directory of thousands of MCP servers, or your
own monitor) in the plugin settings.
3. The plugin displays the badge. Clicking it opens that server’s public status page
on mcpserverstatus.com, with uptime history and incident details.
The plugin itself only displays the badge. All monitoring, health checks and alerts
are done by mcpserverstatus.com, so nothing extra runs on your WordPress server.
#### Who it’s for
* Teams and developers who run an MCP server and want to show its availability
to users.
* SaaS and API companies offering AI agent integrations who want a visible trust
signal.
* Bloggers, docs sites and directories that list MCP servers or AI tools and want
live status next to each one.
### External services
This plugin uses MCPServerStatus (https://mcpserverstatus.com), an MCP server uptime
monitoring service, in two ways.
**1. Status badge image (always, wherever the badge is shown).** The badge image
is loaded by your visitors’ browsers from MCPServerStatus. It is needed to show
the live status of the MCP server you choose.
* What is sent: when a page with the badge is viewed, the visitor’s browser requests
the image from `https://mcpserverstatus.com/badge/.svg` (or `/badge/m/<
monitor-id>.svg`). As with any image request, this includes the visitor’s IP
address, user agent and the referring page URL. No other data is sent.
* When: only on pages where the badge is shown (shortcode, block, widget, or the
footer if you enabled it), and on the plugin settings page for the preview.
**2. Account connection API (optional, only after you click “Connect to MCPServerStatus”).**
If you never click Connect, your WordPress server makes no requests to MCPServerStatus.
* When you click Connect, your browser is sent to `https://mcpserverstatus.com/
connect/wordpress` with your site’s URL (home URL), the URL of this plugin’s
settings page (to return to) and a random one-time security code. You sign in
there and approve access; MCPServerStatus then returns an access token that the
plugin stores in your WordPress database.
* While connected, your WordPress server calls `https://mcpserverstatus.com/api/
wp/monitors` with that token to list your monitors (when you open the plugin
settings page; results are cached for 5 minutes), and to add a server when you
submit “Add new server” – this sends the server URL and optional name you enter.
* When you open a monitor’s history panel on the settings page, your WordPress
server calls `https://mcpserverstatus.com/api/wp/monitors//history` with
that token to fetch uptime, latency, incidents and recent checks for the selected
time range. Nothing about your site is sent.
* When you click Disconnect, the plugin calls `https://mcpserverstatus.com/api/
wp/disconnect` to revoke the token and deletes it locally. Deleting the plugin
also deletes the token.
* No visitor data, user accounts, posts or other site content are ever sent.

2. Activate the plugin.
3. Go to Settings > MCP Server Status and enter a server slug or URL (find it at https://

## FAQ
### What does “Connect to MCPServerStatus” do?
It links this site to your MCPServerStatus account so you can pick a monitor from
a dropdown and add new servers without copying IDs. You sign in (or create a free
account) on mcpserverstatus.com and approve access. The connection can only list
your monitors and add new ones – it cannot delete monitors, change alerts or see
billing. Disconnect at any time from the plugin settings, or revoke the site under“
Connected sites” in your MCPServerStatus dashboard. Connecting is optional: the
slug and monitor ID fields keep working without it.
### How do I monitor my MCP server uptime?
Create a free account at https://mcpserverstatus.com and add your MCP server’s URL
as a monitor. It is checked every hour on the free plan and you get an email alert
if it goes down. Then copy the monitor’s public ID into this plugin to show its
live status badge.
### Does this add a status page to my site?
No. The plugin adds a status badge to your site. The badge links to a public status
page hosted on mcpserverstatus.com, with uptime history and incidents for that server.
### Will I get downtime or outage alerts?
Alerts come from your MCPServerStatus account (email on the free plan), not from
the plugin. The plugin only shows the current status.
### Where do I find a server slug?
Open the server on https://mcpserverstatus.com/mcp-servers. The slug is the last
part of the URL, e.g. `github` in `/mcp-servers/github`. You can also paste the
whole URL.
### Does the plugin add a link to my footer automatically?
No. The footer badge is off by default and only appears if you tick “Show badge
in footer”.
### The badge says “unknown”.
The slug was not found or the server has no recent checks. Double-check the slug
on mcpserverstatus.com.
### Does it slow my site down?
No. It outputs one small, lazy-loaded SVG image, cached by a CDN. Nothing runs on
your server.
### Shortcode options?
[mcp_status slug=”github” monitor=”” align=”center”] – `align` can be `none`, `left`,`
center` or `right`. If `slug` is omitted the setting from the settings page is used.
