outages.live

Key facts: outages.live launched in November 2026 from Polylane, the team behind the AI on-call engineer of the same batch. It is a free live outage feed built for AI agents: it merges official provider status pages into one feed, so an agent can check what is down right now instead of polling a dozen status sites. It is available over RSS, a JSON API and MCP, so agents and workflows can read it directly.

Plans: Free. The feed is published for agents to read over RSS, JSON API and MCP at no cost.

Best for: Developers whose agents need to know when a provider they depend on goes down. Who should skip it: anyone who only checks one status page by hand, once in a while.

Pros

• Free live outage feed, readable over RSS, JSON API and MCP
• Built from official provider status pages, not crowd reports
• Made for AI agents: your agent can check what is down before it retries or pages you
• From Polylane, the team behind the AI on-call engineer

Watch out for

• It reports what vendors have acknowledged: an unacknowledged outage in your region may not show
• A new feed, so provider coverage is still growing
• No paid tier details published, so heavier use terms are unclear

Best for

Developers whose agents need to know when a provider they depend on goes down. Who should skip it: anyone who only checks one status page by hand, once in a while, or a team that needs its own private status data.
