Identified

- Start: 2026-11-12 ~18:45 UTC (19:45 CET) - Impact: Email delivery to Microsoft consumer domains significantly delayed. Backlog of ~2,500 emails pending (incl. short-TTL OTP/auth messages at risk of expiry drops). All sending pools affected; partial delivery continues (8/min vs 25–30/min nominal). - Symptoms / findings: TCP connection timeouts (SYN unanswered) to Microsoft MX endpoints (52.101.x.x), spread across 10+ sending IPs and all pools. No connection refusals, no SMTP-level throttling — behavior consistent with a Microsoft-side infrastructure degradation, not reputation filtering. Deferrals peaked at ~1,000 MX-unavailable events / 10 min. No other destination domains affected beyond Microsoft consumer properties (+ unrelated, pre-existing Proximus/gtm-tc2 slowness tracked separately). - External cause: Microsoft 365 / Exchange Online outage, tracked by Microsoft as EX1550543 — acknowledged ~19:37 UTC, fix deployed ~18:30 CET, gradual recovery in progress.

Your coding agent knows when Scaleway is down, and tells you when a failure is theirs, not yours. You can also get Scaleway incidents in a feed reader or in Slack.

Prompt
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.live/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 "scaleway" and tell me if Scaleway 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.
