Status Is Down MCP: live outage data in your AI app

Is a service down, or is it just you? Status Is Down's MCP server gives Claude or ChatGPT read-only outage intelligence: live service status, report history, where reports come from and when they spike. ContextGate connects it to your AI apps and records each check, which helps when you piece together an incident timeline afterward.
