Broken Link Checker: 404s, redirects and bad URLs — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for Broken Link Checker: 404s, redirects and bad URLs?

The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 100.0% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.

Is Broken Link Checker: 404s, redirects and bad URLs working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 12 of 12 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 351 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Broken Link Checker: 404s, redirects and bad URLs?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You will need your own key: it refuses anonymous clients.

Does Broken Link Checker: 404s, redirects and bad URLs need an API key?

Yes. Every time we knock, Broken Link Checker: 404s, redirects and bad URLs answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.

How fast is Broken Link Checker: 404s, redirects and bad URLs?

It answers our handshake in 351 ms on average, which is faster than 39% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
