Downdetector
Pulls real-time service outage data from Downdetector's public interface without needing authentication. Exposes a single tool that takes a service name like "steam" or "netflix" and optional domain parameter for regional variants (uk, fr, it, etc). Useful when you need to quickly check if a service disruption is widespread or confirm user reports against Downdetector's crowdsourced status data. Installation is straightforward via npx, though the source warns that some domains may hit Cloudflare protection intermittently. The data comes from Downdetector's public pages, so service names need to match their conventions and you're subject to whatever rate limiting they apply.
