MCP tools · 11 exposed · ~1,361 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
metalift_batch_scrape ~146

Scrape up to 100 URLs in parallel (billed per URL). Default response_detail=compact. Use async=true for background jobs; wait=true blocks with progress. For JS-heavy pages set strategy=auto in scrape_options. You are solely responsible for complying with website terms, robots.txt, copyright, and data protection laws when using scraped content.

NameTypeReqDescription
asyncboolean–Run as background job (returns job id)
scrape_optionsobject–Shared scrape options applied to every URL in the batch

waitboolean–When async=true, wait for completion with progress updates (default true).

No output schema declared.

exclude_pathsarray–Skip paths matching these prefixes
include_pathsarray–Only crawl paths matching these prefixes
limitnumber–Maximum pages to crawl
max_depthnumber–Maximum link depth from seed URL

NameTypeReqDescription
limitnumber–Maximum URLs to return
searchstring–Optional substring filter for URLs
urlstringyesPage URL to extract links from

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

metalift_scrape ~400

Scrape a single URL into markdown, HTML, or text. Default: fast static article path (1 credit, response_detail=compact). E-commerce hosts auto-route to retail/residential. Pass strategy=auto for WAF/SPA pages. Fetch metalift://agent-guide for session workflow. You are solely responsible for complying with website terms, robots.txt, copyright, and data protection laws when using scraped content.

NameTypeReqDescription
cookie_headerstring–Raw Cookie header from DevTools. Routes through Playwright + sticky proxy to preserve browser TLS fingerprint. Prefer metalift_seed_session with storage_state for repeat scrapes.
cookiesobject–Session cookies (name→value). Routes through Playwright browser session + proxy — not static HTTP. Prefer metalift_seed_session for reuse.
formatsarray–Output formats; default markdown only
headersobject–Extra request headers. Pass User-Agent from the user's browser when using cookie_header so the session fingerprint matches.
only_main_contentboolean–Extract main article content only (default true)
proxystring–Proxy tier; default direct for static pages

response_detailstring–Response depth: compact (default, ~16k chars, no links), standard (full markdown + capped links), full (complete JSON).

urlstringyesPage URL to scrape
wait_forstring–CSS selector to wait for before scraping

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

metalift_seed_session ~151

Store browser session credentials for a domain (org-scoped). Prefer full Playwright storage_state JSON from the user's browser — preserves cookies + localStorage for fingerprint-coherent replay via unified browser session on later scrapes. Fallback: cookie_header + user_agent from DevTools.

ttl_hoursnumber––
user_agentstring–User-Agent from the same browser session that issued the cookies

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

metalift_sitemap ~128

Fetch XML sitemap URLs for a site. Discovers sitemap locations from robots.txt (Sitemap: directives) or /sitemap.xml, follows sitemap indexes, and returns page URLs with optional lastmod/changefreq/priority. Costs 1 credit. Prefer this over metalift_map when you need the site's published URL list.

NameTypeReqDescription
limitnumber––
same_originboolean–Only return URLs on the same origin (default true)
searchstring–Optional substring filter; matching URLs sort first
urlstringyesSite homepage or direct sitemap.xml URL

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

metalift_warm_session ~117

Automated browser warmup to collect cookies for later scrapes (15 credits). Use when manual metalift_seed_session is not possible; often fails on strict WAFs.
