## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-10-01.

- **Endpoint Security**: 46/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 8 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 78/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 993 tokens (~124/item across 8 items; 8 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability check failed: schema churn in the 6 days we've observed: 11 tool removals, 0 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 1 additions.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 8 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 9 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

### How do I install the webcap MCP server?

webcap is a hosted endpoint at https://webcap.shoutsid.fyi/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

## MCP tools (8)

### `webcap_service_catalog` (~76 tokens)

Free service catalog (no payment): every paid endpoint with its exact price in USDC, the settlement network, USDC asset, payTo address, facilitator and the step-by-step x402 how-to-pay flow, plus the free allowance this caller has left. Call this first to learn what webcap sells and what it costs.

### `webcap_preview` (~94 tokens)

Free bounded preview of a page: title, description, headings, links, word count and a truncated markdown slice. Use it to peek before the full extract. Rate-limited per IP. This is a teaser, not the product: the real products are free too inside the rolling per-IP allowance.

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required): Absolute http(s) URL of the page to process, e.g. https://example.com/

### `webcap_og` (~54 tokens)

Free Open Graph metadata for a URL: title, description, image, icon. No payment.

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required): Absolute http(s) URL of the page to process, e.g. https://example.com/

### `webcap_capture` (~233 tokens)

PAID ($0.001 image/PDF, $0.005 video): turn a URL into a persistent public artifact. png/jpeg/pdf are a screenshot or PDF and include free OG metadata; mp4/webm scroll-record the page. Settles gasless USDC over x402 — but an unpaid call runs free while the rolling per-IP allowance lasts, so just call it.

Input parameters:

- `durationMs` (integer): Video formats only. Scroll duration in milliseconds, 1-30000; default 5000.
- `format` (string): Artifact format, default png. png/jpeg/pdf = screenshot/PDF at $0.001 (POST /v1/x402/capture); mp4/webm = scroll video at $0.005 (POST /v1/x402/video). The 402 challenge states the exact price for th…
- `fullPage` (boolean): Image/PDF only. true captures the whole scrollable page (default false: viewport only).
- `url` (string, required): Absolute http(s) URL of the page to process, e.g. https://example.com/

### `webcap_extract` (~190 tokens)

PAID ($0.01, one payment covers a batch of up to 50 URLs): structured content as JSON — title, headings, paragraphs, links, images, document-order markdown. Provide exactly one of "url" (a single page) or "urls" (a batch); "url" is shorthand for a one-item "urls".

Input parameters:

- `schema` (string): Optional natural-language description of the JSON to extract. Omit it to get the default page structure.
- `url` (string): A single page to extract, e.g. https://example.com/. Shorthand for "urls": ["<url>"]. Mutually exclusive with "urls" — sending both is an error.
- `urls` (array): Batch of pages for one payment, at most 50 items; a batch of one is allowed. Mutually exclusive with "url" — sending both is an error.

### `webcap_audit` (~68 tokens)

PAID ($0.002): SEO basics plus link and Open Graph health for one URL in a single call. Returns issues with severity, not just raw tags.

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required): Absolute http(s) URL of the page to process, e.g. https://example.com/

### `webcap_map_lite` (~107 tokens)

PAID ($0.002): discover a site's URLs from its sitemap and robots.txt plus a 1-hop same-host crawl, and return them as a JSON list. Cheaper than crawling each page with webcap_extract.

Input parameters:

- `maxUrls` (integer): Maximum number of URLs to return. Integer 1-50; default 20 when omitted.
- `url` (string, required): Absolute http(s) URL of the page to process, e.g. https://example.com/

### `webcap_analyze` (~103 tokens)

PAID ($0.01): AI analysis of one URL. Pick the task that matches the question you are answering.

Input parameters:

- `task` (string, required): What to analyze (required, no default): classification = page type, accessibility = a11y issues, layout = structure and regions, entities = named entities and facts, sentiment = tone.
- `url` (string, required): Absolute http(s) URL of the page to process, e.g. https://example.com/

### What tools does the webcap MCP server expose?

webcap exposes 8 tools: webcap_service_catalog, webcap_preview, webcap_og, webcap_capture, webcap_extract, and 3 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 925 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
