What is OpenStatus?
OpenStatus grows from uptime checks into incident management, from Slack, dashboard or API.
OpenStatus spent October building incident handling on top of its monitors: an Incident API on Oct 2 to declare and run incidents with timelines and postmortems, a status report timeline with an inline composer, dated progress notes on maintenance windows, and on Oct 15 full incident management from Slack or the dashboard. September brought OAuth for its MCP server, a Monitor Pack add-on and searchable response logs.
What is SavvyCal?
SavvyCal lets Claude or ChatGPT book and move meetings through an MCP server on every plan.
SavvyCal ships about once a month, and its latest release is the largest in a year: an MCP server on every plan that lets AI assistants find times, book or move meetings, block time and run polls. Earlier releases were contained refinements such as duplicating workflows, locking links before an event, per-event buffers and multi-language booking pages.

OpenStatus
5.0INFRA · APIS
OpenStatus grows from uptime checks into incident management, from Slack, dashboard or API.
◆ Current state
OpenStatus spent October building incident handling on top of its monitors: an Incident API on Oct 2 to declare and run incidents with timelines and postmortems, a status report timeline with an inline composer, dated progress notes on maintenance windows, and on Oct 15 full incident management from Slack or the dashboard. September brought OAuth for its MCP server, a Monitor Pack add-on and searchable response logs.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from monitoring and status pages into the incident lifecycle that follows an alert, with every step reachable from the API or an agent. That puts it closer to on-call and incident tools than to plain uptime checkers.
◆ Prediction
On-call scheduling or paging is the gap left after incident management; the entries do not confirm it is planned.
SavvyCal
2.5INFRA · APIS
SavvyCal lets Claude or ChatGPT book and move meetings through an MCP server on every plan.
◆ Current state
SavvyCal ships about once a month, and its latest release is the largest in a year: an MCP server on every plan that lets AI assistants find times, book or move meetings, block time and run polls. Earlier releases were contained refinements such as duplicating workflows, locking links before an event, per-event buffers and multi-language booking pages.
◆ Where it's heading
For most of the year SavvyCal has added control for hosts and assistants who schedule for others. The MCP server extends that to software assistants: the same booking and rescheduling actions now work from a chat. That puts SavvyCal's scheduling logic inside other tools instead of only on its booking pages.
◆ Prediction
Expect follow-ups that widen what the MCP server can do, such as more scheduling actions. The single release gives little else to predict from.
