FlareCanary
Know when APIs change before your code breaks·flarecanary.com
FlareCanary is an API schema drift monitoring service that watches third-party API endpoints and alerts teams when response schemas change, before those changes break production code. It also tracks uptime, response times, and SSL certificate expiry, and can monitor Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for AI agent tool changes. The platform offers alerting via email and webhook, public status pages, and team/role-based access.
