A failure counts as down time only when a second check five minutes later fails too. How we check

Connect to the publisher's own endpoint

Add to ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json (user) or .kiro/settings/mcp.json (workspace):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "websearch": {
      "url": "https://victor-websearch.hf.space/gradio_api/mcp/sse"
    }
  }
}

This server's endpoint speaks only SSE, which this client's documentation does not list among its transports; use another client for it.

For agents: the install prompt

Every step above as one Markdown text, for an assistant installing it for you.
