Is GitHub Actions down?

Check GitHub Actions status without leaving your conversation. This plugin connects to the public status service at https://isgithubactionsdown.com and includes a skill that distinguishes official incidents, possible disruptions, and stale information. No account or credentials are required.

Install in Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add openmerchants/openmerchant-plugins
/plugin install is-github-actions-down@openmerchant

For Claude on the web or desktop, add the OpenMerchant marketplace, or add https://isgithubactionsdown.com/mcp as a custom connector. Other MCP clients can connect to the same endpoint using Streamable HTTP.

Ask

• “Is GitHub Actions down right now?”
• “My workflow is stuck in the queue. Is GitHub reporting an incident?”
• “Has GitHub resolved the Actions incident?”

The get_github_actions_status tool has no arguments and returns the same assessment as the site and JSON API. “Yes” means an unresolved official Actions incident. “Probably” can come from component disruption or unusual visitor interest, which is not confirmation. “No” does not rule out workflow-specific problems. Stale results always retain their original check time.

Data and permissions

The plugin only reads public status. It sends requests to https://isgithubactionsdown.com/mcp, without repository content, account information, payment data, or credentials. Ordinary connection metadata is processed by the hosting provider. API and MCP polling never contribute to the site's visitor signal. The plugin does not change or rerun workflows.
