The solo founder of Spot Downtime, a lightweight uptime/status-page monitor for small teams, shipped a remote MCP server listed in Claude's connectors directory—no local repo or Node scripts, just authenticate and go.
Built to avoid breaking flow while working inside Claude and Cursor, it lets the assistant answer questions like "are any of my sites or cron jobs down?", pull incident history, status codes, and response-time trends, add monitors, and pause production checks during deploys.
Free tier includes 20 monitors; code REDDIT gives 6 months of Pro for testing the MCP server. He asks whether other founders are building MCP servers for their SaaS and seeing demand for AI-native integrations over traditional dashboards.
