Connect Instatus (Status Pages API) MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect Instatus (Status Pages API) to Cursor and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Agent-driven incident creation in Cursor
Let your agent fire `create_incident` the moment a deployment fails. It parses your logs and sets the status page while you focus on the fix. Use `create_incident_from_template` to ensure your messaging remains consistent during high-pressure events. Your agent handles the boilerplate so you don't have to.
Live component monitoring in your editor
Query your infrastructure health with `list_components` without leaving your IDE. You get a clear view of what's broken before you start debugging. Update status flags with `update_component` as you push hotfixes. It keeps your public-facing status in sync with your actual code state.
Automated metric reporting via Cursor
Push performance numbers to your status page using `add_metric_datapoints_bulk`. Your agent maintains the historical data that keeps your users informed. Delete old or incorrect data points with `delete_metric_datapoints` if you need to clean up your feed. Everything stays accurate and up-to-date.
