Better Stack OAuth Scopes

OAuth 2.0 probed

Better Stack publishes 2 OAuth 2.0 scopes. Scopes are the fine-grained permissions an application requests at authorization time to act against the Better Stack API on a user’s behalf.

Tokens are issued from https://betterstack.com/oauth/token.

This index is generated from the provider’s OpenAPI security definitions (and, where available, its documented scope reference) and refreshes on every APIs.io network build. Browse every provider’s scopes at scopes.apis.io.

coverage:
  scope_count: 2
  granularity: coarse
  note: >-
    Two scopes cover a ~106-tool agent surface spanning uptime monitoring, incident management,
    on-call paging, status pages, ClickHouse query execution over telemetry, dashboards, error
    triage and team-member administration. `write` grants an agent the ability to page an
    on-call engineer, delete a dashboard and remove a team member with the same token. The only
    real narrowing Better Stack offers is not a scope at all — it is the X-MCP-Tools-Only /
    X-MCP-Tools-Except header allowlist documented for the MCP server.
rest_api_note: >-
  These scopes apply to the OAuth surface (the MCP server) only. The Uptime v2, Telemetry v1
  and Errors v1 REST APIs authenticate with static bearer tokens that carry no scope at all —
  a token is either global or team-scoped, and within its team it is unrestricted.
