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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security63
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS check failed: the endpoint is reachable over plaintext HTTP. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability59
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 959 tokens (~239/item across 4 items; 4 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 Management10
- Stability observed for 3 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
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.

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 →
about About Readmd (free) ~28
Free. What Readmd does, prices of the paid tools and HTTP endpoints, and links to docs.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
preview_url Preview a web page as Markdown (free) ~66
Free. Fetches a URL and returns its title, metadata, outline, word and token counts and the first 500 characters of the clean Markdown. Use read_url (paid, $0.001) for the full text.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | yes | Public http(s) URL |

read_url Read a web page as Markdown (paid) ~459
Read a web page as clean Markdown for an LLM. Fetches the URL (robots.txt respected), extracts the main content (drops navigation, headers, footers, sidebars, cookie banners) and returns GitHub-flavoured Markdown with headings, lists, tables, code blocks (with language) and absolute links, plus metadata (title, description, author, published/modified dates, site name, language, canonical URL, image), an outline of headings, word count and a token estimate. Options: mode=full for the whole page, links=false to save tokens, images=true, include_links=true for the link list, max_tokens to truncate, chunk_tokens to get RAG-ready chunks with heading paths. Also converts native Markdown, plain text, JSON and RSS/Atom feeds. Never charged when it fails: unreachable or 4xx/5xx targets, robots.txt disallow, unsupported types (PDF, images) and empty/JavaScript-only pages return an error and are not settled. $0.001 per page. Costs $0.001 USDC per call via x402 (charged only on success). Without an x402 wallet you get the payment terms and the paid HTTP URL instead.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| chunk_tokens | integer | – | Also return `chunks`: the Markdown split at headings/paragraphs into pieces of at most about this many tokens, each with its heading path. For RAG. |
| images | – | – | Keep images as . Default false. |
| include_links | – | – | Also return `links`: every link in the content as {url, text} (up to 500). Default false. |
| links | – | – | Keep inline links as [text](url) in the Markdown. Default true; false saves tokens. |
| max_tokens | integer | – | Truncate the Markdown to about this many tokens, at a paragraph boundary (`truncated` tells you). Default: no limit (400k characters max). |
| mode | string | – | "main" (default): the article / main content only, without navigation, headers, footers, sidebars and cookie banners. "full": the whole page body. |
| url | string | yes | Public http(s) URL of the page to read. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
read_urls Read up to 10 web pages as Markdown (paid) ~320
Read up to 10 web pages as clean Markdown in one call, in parallel: the same output as /v1/read for each URL, with a per-URL ok/error. $0.005 per call (= $0.0005 per page at 10 URLs). Charged only if at least one URL is read successfully. Costs $0.005 USDC per call via x402 (charged only on success). Without an x402 wallet you get the payment terms and the paid HTTP URL instead.

How do I install the Readmd MCP server?
Readmd is a hosted endpoint at https://readmd.canisell.xyz/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.

Is the Readmd MCP server safe to use?
Readmd scores 65 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
