03/24/2026, 1:47 PMHi @brief-umbrella-80783, yes, you can use the API to pull feature IDs then pass that list to check for stale status. The API docs are here: https://docs.growthbook.io/api#tag/features/operation/getFeatureStale

03/24/2026, 1:48 PMThe GrowthBook MCP server also wraps this feature, so if you've got that running you can ask for your features and check staleness

03/26/2026, 12:50 PMJust looking at the git log, the endpoint was added in early March. Once you update your build, it should be there.
I think the PR was this one.
