Using the MCP Server
Last updated 14 days ago
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets AI assistants like Claude work with your Forge account through natural language. Instead of writing API calls, you describe what you want and the AI handles it.
What you can do
- Create, update and delete services, incidents, changelog posts and help articles
- Create help categories
- List incidents, subscribers, changelog posts and help articles
- Check your account details, plans and subscriber count
- Search your published help articles and find content gaps
Available tools
- StatusForge: 9 tools (services, incidents, subscribers)
- ChangeForge: 5 tools (changelog posts)
- HelpForge: 8 tools (categories, articles, search, content gaps)
- Account: 1 tool (account info)
All 23 tools always appear, whichever products you use. A tool for a product that's turned off returns an error.
How it works
The MCP server is at https://statusforge.net/api/mcp and accepts JSON-RPC requests. It authenticates with your API key, which you create in Settings > Developer on a Pro plan. Each tool call makes REST API calls with that key, so tools have the same permissions as direct API calls and count toward the same rate limits.
