Live status and players
Up or down, how many players out of how many slots, the real latency, the server icon and its message of the day in its true colours.
Free · Chrome, Edge and Firefox
Your Minecraft servers, live in your browser
Stop launching the game just to find out whether your server is up. Who is playing right now, whether it answers, how fast — and a notification on your desktop the moment it goes down.

Guided tour
What you see when you click the icon
Four screens, and that is the whole extension. It plays by itself — or click to choose.
Your turn
Test a real server, right now
Type an address — yours, a friend’s, any of them. You get exactly what the extension shows, live.
Waiting for an address
Pick one of the example servers or type your own: the result appears here, exactly as it does in the extension.
What it does
Everything you want to know about a server, in one popup
Add your servers once. MCPing handles the rest, and never bothers you for nothing.
Told the moment it drops
A notification when the server stops answering, another when it comes back, and one when the player count crosses the threshold you set.
Your friends, as they join
Add usernames and get told the moment one of them connects, with their skin’s head on the alert. Handy for not missing anyone.
A week of traffic
Charts showing what time it fills up and when the server went down. With CSV export if you want your numbers somewhere else.
A rhythm per server
The big network every ten minutes, your friends’ world every minute. Each one can also be paused, or hidden from the popup.
Java and Bedrock
Both editions, on any port. You pick the edition when you add the server, and that is it.
Light and quiet
No third-party libraries, nothing running inside the pages you browse. The extension wakes up, checks, goes back to sleep.
Light, dark, 14 languages
The theme follows your system, or you force it. And the interface exists in fourteen languages, Arabic right to left included.
The difference
Did your server go down, or was nobody watching?
You close the browser at night and open it again in the morning. Most tools still draw a nice curve across those hours, or drop it to zero. Both are making things up.
Online
The server answered. One curve, one colour per server.
Offline
The server did not answer. A red band under the chart.
Not monitored
Browser closed, or connection down. A grey band, and nothing invented.
Grey: nobody was watching. Red: the server really was down. Two different things, two different colours.
Sample data — the chart itself is the extension’s.
The same goes for alerts: if it was your connection that dropped, MCPing does not wake you at three in the morning over an outage that never happened.
Notifications
Told when it matters, silent the rest of the time
An alert goes out when something changes, never on every check. An unstable server sends you one notification, not forty.
- One alert when the state changes, not on every reading.
- Ten minutes of silence before the same alert can fire again.
- A paused server sends nothing at all.
- You choose what is worth interrupting you, server by server.
Privacy
Nothing collected, so nothing to lose
No account to create, no ads, no usage statistics sent anywhere. Your servers and your history stay in your browser, and do not leave it.
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
storage | Remember your servers, your settings and your history on your device. |
alarms | Wake up regularly to check your servers in the background. |
notifications | Tell you when a server goes down, comes back or fills up. Can be turned off. |
offscreen | Play the notification sound, on Chrome and Edge only. |
No access to the sites you visit
At install time you will not see the "read your data on the sites you visit" warning. MCPing does not ask for it, because it does not need it: it never touches the pages you open.
Where the information comes from
There is no server of mine in this story. Your browser queries two free public services directly, minetools.eu and mcsrvstat.us, and asks them one thing: the status of the server whose address you gave.
Install
Thirty seconds, and you are set
Install from the store
Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera and Vivaldi share the same listing. Firefox has its own.
Pin the icon
Click the puzzle piece in the toolbar, then the pin next to MCPing.
Add your servers
An address, an edition, done. An example server is already there to show you the result.

What’s new
What has changed
The full detail lives in the repository; here is what matters.
1.1.0 Watched players and per-server notifications.
- Watch specific players: get a notification when one of them joins or leaves a server, with their skin’s head on the alert.
- Notification rules can now be set per server as well as globally — which alerts fire, at what player threshold, and whether they make a sound.
- Two new languages: Polish and Indonesian, bringing the total to fourteen.
- The dropdown menus are drawn by the extension now, so they match the interface instead of the operating system.
1.0.1 Six more languages and per-server control.
- Six new languages: Italian, European Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Hindi, Arabic and Japanese. Arabic reads right to left throughout.
- Every server can now have its own check interval, be hidden from the popup while still being monitored, or be paused entirely.
- Checks now run every 3 minutes by default, and the refresh button waits 20 seconds between manual refreshes.
- MCPing now has a Discord: bug reports, feature requests, and new versions announced there first. The link is in Settings.
1.0.0 First release.
- Live status for Java and Bedrock servers, downtime and recovery notifications, player-count charts, light and dark themes, six languages.
Questions
What people ask
Is MCPing really free?
Yes, entirely. No hidden paid tier, no ads, no feature held back. The code is open, under the MIT licence.
Does it work with Bedrock servers?
Yes, Java and Bedrock. You pick the edition when you add the server, and any port works. Java servers also show the round-trip ping actually measured.
Do I have to leave the browser open?
For background monitoring, yes: an extension only runs while the browser runs. That is exactly why MCPing greys out the periods it could not see, instead of inventing a curve.
Do you collect data about me?
No. No account, no usage statistics, no tracking. Your servers and your history stay in your browser. The only requests that leave ask for the status of a server whose address you gave.
Why does the extension not ask for site access?
Because it does not need it. It never reads the pages you open and injects nothing into them. That is also why installing it shows no alarming warning.
How many servers can I follow?
As many as you like. Each one can have its own frequency, be paused, or stay monitored while hidden from the popup — handy once the list gets long.
Does it use a lot of resources?
Very little. One check every 3 minutes by default, a few kilobytes per server, and an option to suspend everything below 20% battery. Seven days of history for four servers fits under 100 KB.
Which browsers are supported?
Chrome 116 and up, Edge, Firefox, plus Brave, Opera and Vivaldi. Two store listings: one for Chrome and its cousins, one for Firefox.
What happens if my connection drops?
Nothing is recorded and no alert is sent. MCPing tells the difference between "the server is offline" and "I could not check anything".
How do I uninstall it?
Right-click the icon, then "Remove from Chrome" (or the Firefox equivalent). Everything the extension had stored goes with it.
Add your first server
Free, no account, and uninstalled in two clicks if you do not like it.
