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

Run in a terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http link-preview-cache-api https://link-preview-cache-api.onrender.com/mcp
For agents: the install prompt

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