Build on incident.io and win a MacBook Pro

and win a MacBook Pro

We’re hosting Build on incident.io, a month-long competition in August that invites builders (like you!) to create an app using our new MCP server, API, or webhooks. The winner will be selected by a live audience at SEV0 San Francisco on September 23 — and will receive the new MacBook Pro.

How it works

Required files:

Each README.md must include a clear project title with a concise description of what the application does and its key features. Provide step-by-step installation instructions, commands to run the application, and list all technologies/frameworks used.

Judging

We’re looking for powerful, creative, or downright weird apps using our MCP server, API, or webhooks. Our internal panel and SEV0 crowd will be looking at:

Creativity and originality — Is this something we haven’t seen before? Does it make us go, “Whoa, that’s clever”?
Technical implementation and functionality — How well is it built? Is the code clean, stable, and efficient? Did it make good use of the MCP server, API, or webhooks?
Usefulness and potential impact — Does this solve a real problem or meaningfully improve the incident experience? Would someone in the real world actually use it?
“Wow” factor — It’s intangible, but you know it when you see it. Does this project stand out above the rest?

The Incident Command center

A tvOS app that transforms your Apple TV into a real-time incident.io dashboard for war rooms and operations centers. It displays live incidents from your incident.io workspace in a 3-column grid with color-coded status indicators, automatically refreshing every 30 seconds. The interface is optimized for Apple TV remote navigation and large-screen viewing, making it perfect for NOCs, engineering offices, and incident response spaces that need constant visibility into their incident.io incidents.

FAQ

What’s in it for me?
The winner will receive a brand new MacBook pro, recognition at a conference attended by the industry’s leaders in tech, and public kudos via incident.io platforms.

What app are you looking for?
Anything that showcases incident.io in the coolest, weirdest ways you can think of!
