Emerging Service Issue - API - All Regions
On August 13th, 2026, at approximately 18:15 UTC, Akamai observed a brief service outage affecting [_api.linode.com_](http://api.linode.com). The total service interruption lasted for approximately 3 minutes, concluding at 18:18 UTC. Following the restoration of initial connectivity, elevated API response latency persisted through 19:06 UTC, causing slower response times and intermittent delays for customers interacting with API services. To address the performance impact, Akamai engineering teams identified a configuration discrepancy on the secondary caching infrastructure node that prevented it from absorbing the full traffic load after the failover. Engineers completed a controlled migration and moved request caching traffic back over to the primary host. Following this change, API latency rapidly decreased to normal operational levels. The initial condition was triggered by an unexpected reboot of the primary caching node's physical host. While redundant infrastructure was active,

Your coding agent knows when Akamai Cloud (Linode) is down, and tells you when a failure is theirs, not yours. You can also get Akamai Cloud (Linode) 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 "linode" and tell me if Akamai Cloud (Linode) 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.
