Our reading of Upstream, from the data
Upstream is an MCP server from toolweather, listed in the official MCP Registry.
Its 5 tools add about 1,714 tokens to every model turn (measured 2026-10-19).
Maintenance is active: the last public signal was 3 days ago (2026-10-16).
It runs as a hosted endpoint, so there is nothing to install.

Tools (5)
list_recent_api_changes414 tokList the on-demand feed of recent AI and developer API changes (status flips, deprecation-page edits, model retirements, pricing-page edits). Use for a chosen window, one provider, or one kind, when explaining sudden breakage. Not for live up/down (check_api_status) and not for the once-a-day digest, which also covers MCP server breakage (get_digest). Returns summary, count, freshness, and changes[] with provider, kind, title, detail, source, and at, newest first. Status rows arrive within about 5 minutes; doc-page rows every few hours. A limit above 500 is clamped to 500; an unknown provider
check_model_deprecation376 tokCheck whether one LLM model id is active, deprecated, or retired, plus its shutdown date and replacement, from that provider's deprecation page (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and other tracked LLM vendors). Use before hard-coding or calling a model, or when a call fails with model-not-found. Not for API uptime (check_api_status) and not for a retirement feed (list_recent_api_changes with kind model_retirement, or get_digest). Returns summary, verdict (active|deprecated|retired|unknown), recommended_action (keep_using|plan_migration|switch_now|verify_with_provider), replacement, shutdown_date, evi
get_digest347 tokRead one published daily breaking-changes digest: AI/dev API status flips, model deprecations and retirements, pricing-page edits, and breaking MCP server changes. Use for a once-a-day catch-up. For a filtered on-demand API feed with no MCP section, use list_recent_api_changes; for live up/down, check_api_status; for one model id, check_model_deprecation. Always free (no quota, no x402). Published once at 12:00 UTC as a frozen window since the previous issue (usually ~24h); not updated later. Omit date for the latest; a missing YYYY-MM-DD returns 404 {error:no_issue}. One issue per date, no pa
check_api_status276 tokCheck whether one AI or developer API provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, Groq, GitHub, Stripe, Cloudflare, Vercel, Supabase, Twilio, ~40 total) is up, degraded, or down right now. Use before calling that provider, or right after 5xx/429/timeouts, to choose retry, wait, or a fallback. Not for a model id (check_model_deprecation), the filtered change feed (list_recent_api_changes), or the daily rollup (get_digest). Returns summary, verdict (up|degraded|partially down|down|unknown), recommended_action, incidents, affected_components, checked_at, and freshness; status is rechecked about
list_providers159 tokList every AI and developer API provider Upstream tracks (~40) with id, name, category, current state, checked_at, and status page. Use to pick a provider id for check_api_status, or for one all-providers health pass. Not for one provider's incidents (check_api_status) and not for what changed (list_recent_api_changes or get_digest). No parameters. Always free; does not spend the daily quota. State is refreshed about every 5 minutes. Returns {count, providers:[{id, name, category, state, checked_at, status_page}]}; state is operational, degraded, partial_outage, major_outage, maintenance, or u
