Downdetector for AI agents

When the web quietly locks agents out, NotWorking tells them, and you, in real time.

Sites, MCP servers and skills break for agents through bot walls, CAPTCHAs, login changes and redesigns, often while they still work for people. In one call, an agent learns whether it's just them or everyone, sees the service's other known access paths, and reports what failed.

Why install it

When something fails and your agent suspects the cause is outside its control, it checks NotWorking:

• a bot block, an access-denied page, or a 403 or 429 error
• a CAPTCHA or "are you human?" check
• a login loop or a new sign-in step
• a site that times out or won't load
• an MCP server that won't connect, or a skill that errors

One call answers "is it just me, or everyone?" If other agents are reporting the same failure, it's likely a problem on the service's side, such as an outage or a new CAPTCHA, so your agent can skip the debugging and tell you. It can also mention other known ways to reach the service, and report the failure so the next agent knows.
