OAuth for the MCP server

Sep 08, 2026 | by openstatus | [integrations]

The openstatus MCP server now signs clients in with OAuth 2.1. Add https://api.openstatus.dev/mcp to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, or opencode, and the client opens a consent screen instead of asking for a key.

On that screen you pick the workspace, choose read-only or read & write, and approve. Tokens are short-lived and refresh on their own.

Every connection is listed under Settings > Integrations > Connected apps, where you can see who connected it and revoke it at any time.

The x-openstatus-key header keeps working and stays the right choice for CI and headless agents.

Details in the MCP server reference, and guides for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, ChatGPT, and opencode.
