We continue to see delays affecting pull request updates, webhook deliveries, and audit log events. The event streaming platform is showing signs of recovery, and we are monitoring as the impact continues.
We are investigating delays affecting pull request updates and webhook deliveries. Increased load on our event streaming platform is contributing to hotspots. We are shifting traffic away from affected areas and adding processing capacity; impact is ongoing while these mitigations take effect.
Actions is experiencing degraded performance. We are continuing to investigate.
We are investigating reports of degraded performance for Actions, Pull Requests and Webhooks

Your coding agent knows when GitHub is down, and tells you when a failure is theirs, not yours. You can also get GitHub incidents in a feed reader or in Slack.
Install the outages.live MCP server, so that when something breaks you can tell if the cause is a provider we depend on and not my code. It reads the official status pages of cloud, AI, payment and developer providers and gives you their incidents as MCP tools.
Add it as a remote MCP server named "outages" at https://outages.cc/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no authentication), with your CLI command or your MCP config file.
Then:
1. Make sure it connects and shows the tools get_provider, list_feed and send_feedback.
2. Call get_provider with "github" and tell me if GitHub has a problem right now.
3. From now on, when a call to a third-party service fails or becomes slow, call get_provider for that service before you change my code.Paste this into any coding agent. It adds the server with its own MCP setup.
