Add Instatus MCP by usefulapi to VS Code

01

{
"servers": {
"instatus": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://instatus.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart VS Code.
-
03
Ask for something instatus_delete_maintenance does. VS Code lists the server's tools on connect and calls instatus_delete_maintenance itself — you do not invoke it by name.

04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Instatus MCP by usefulapi's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.
Requires agent mode. MCP: Open User Configuration puts the same block in every workspace. VS Code docs
Same tool, other clients
This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 14 November 2026. It is what
the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.
Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
