Ask "is it down?" from wherever you are
The same answer as this site, in the places you already are when something breaks: your team chat, your browser, your WordPress footer and your README.
Slack
Type /isitdown github.com in any channel and get the live verdict, the 30-day uptime and a link to the full picture. Sites we do not monitor are checked on the spot.
Coming soonDiscord
The same /isitdown command for your server - or add it to your own account and use it anywhere. Handy the next time a whole server asks whether the game is down.
Coming soonWordPress
Adds your uptime badge to the footer, a widget or a shortcode, exactly as it has to be, so no editor or plugin can quietly change it. Paste your badge token from the dashboard and you are done.
Download the plugin (.zip)Chrome
When a page will not load, the extension offers to check whether it is down for everyone - one click to the live answer. It asks for no access to the pages you visit.
Download (developer mode)AI assistants (MCP)
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client to https://isitdown.now/mcp and ask it whether a site is down, what is broken right now, or how often a service has failed lately. No key needed. Setup for each client.
Status badges for a README
Every service we monitor has a live SVG badge, and a shields.io endpoint if you want the badge to match the rest of your README.

Everything else
