Trust breakdown (6 categories)

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score →

Supply Chain Security87
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (161 of 163), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (161 of 163), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability56
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 750 tokens (~750/item across 1 items; 1 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management27
  • Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

Tool Tokens
scrape ~750

Scrape webpage content using intelligent automatic strategy selection with built-in caching. This tool fetches content from any URL with flexible result handling options. Result handling modes: - returnOnly: Returns scraped content without saving (uses maxChars for size limits) - saveAndReturn: Saves content as MCP Resource AND returns it (default, best for reuse) - saveOnly: Saves content as MCP Resource, returns only resource link (no content) Example responses by mode: returnOnly: { "content": [ { "type": "text", "text": "Article content here... --- Scraped using: native" } ] } saveAndReturn (embedded resource): { "content": [ { "type": "resource", "resource": { "uri": "scraped://example.com/article_2024-01-15T10:30:00Z", "name": "https://example.com/article", "text": "Full article content..." } } ] } saveOnly (linked resource): { "content": [ { "type": "resource_link", "uri": "scraped://example.com/article_2024-01-15T10:30:00Z", "name": "https://example.com/article" } ] } Caching behavior: - Previously scraped URLs are automatically cached as MCP Resources - Subsequent requests return cached content (unless forceRescrape: true) - saveOnly mode bypasses cache lookup for efficiency Scraping strategies: - native: Direct HTTP fetch (fastest, works for most public sites) - firecrawl: Advanced scraping with JavaScript rendering (requires FIRECRAWL_API_KEY) - brightdata: Premium scraping for heavily protected sites (requires BRIGHTDATA_API_KEY) The tool automatically: 1. Checks cache first (except in saveOnly mode) 2. Tries the most appropriate scraping method based on domain patterns 3. Falls back to alternative methods if needed 4. Remembers successful strategies for future requests
