About OpenStatus
OpenStatus is closing protocol gaps and adding enterprise auth, positioning monitoring as a queryable layer in AI workflows.
OpenStatus ships incremental additions that expand its protocol coverage (HTTP, TCP, and now gRPC) and enterprise capabilities (SAML SSO, OAuth-based MCP connections). The Dashboard Response Logs give teams searchable, filterable access to every check run. The Monitor Pack add-on creates a new pricing tier for teams that need monitoring at scale without a full plan upgrade. OAuth for the MCP server is the most recent signal: teams can now connect Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client with a consent screen rather than a raw API key.
