Internet Vitals API

Free, public API for internet health data. No API key. No registration. Just fetch.

REST + MCP · JSON · CORS: * · data refreshes every 5 minutes

Quick Start

curl https://internetvitals.com/api/v1/health

const res = await fetch('https://internetvitals.com/api/v1/health')
const data = await res.json()
console.log(`Internet health: ${data.health_score}%`)

import requests
data = requests.get('https://internetvitals.com/api/v1/health').json()
print(f"Internet health: {data['health_score']}%")

Connect to AI Agents via MCP

InternetVitals runs a Model Context Protocol server (streamable HTTP). Claude, Cursor and any other MCP-compatible agent can query internet health directly — five tools: get_internet_health, get_service_status, list_services, get_recent_incidents, get_vitals_history.

https://internetvitals.com/mcp

Claude Desktop: Settings → Developer → Add MCP Server → paste the URL
Cursor: Settings → MCP → Add Server → paste the URL
Any MCP client: streamable HTTP transport, no auth, endpoint /mcp

Example prompt after connecting: “What's the current health of the internet? Is Cloudflare operational right now?”

Rate Limits & Terms
