Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

foura
foura_auto
Give it a public URL and get the content back. This is the default when you don't want to choose between HTTP, proxy rotation, and a full browser. On protected targets, or whenever HTTP 200 may still be a challenge or incomplete page, pass validate.data.accept with text unique to the real content. Auto makes bounded attempts and returns either validated content or a failure; it cannot guarantee a match. The response includes completion details and, by default, reusable session values for follow-up calls. Use a lower-level tool when you need direct control over HTTP, proxy selection, or browser navigation.
foura_browser
Load a public URL in a full browser session. JavaScript runs, the DOM renders, and cookies come back with the response. Use it for single-page apps, lazy-loaded content, or supported browser challenges. For a protected page, call foura_proxy first and pass its returned proxy ID here to reuse that exit. Set unblocker:false when you want the page exactly as it loads.
foura_proxy
Route an HTTP request through rotating proxies with automatic retry. Use it when foura_single is blocked or the target requires a specific exit country. The response includes the proxy ID that succeeded; reuse it with foura_single or foura_browser, or exclude it with ignoreProxies. Use foura_browser when the page needs JavaScript. Set exitCountries for a strict country allowlist.
foura_single
Send one HTTP request and return the response. Use it for static pages, JSON APIs, and server-rendered HTML. Set unblocker:true for targets that reject basic HTTP requests. Switch to foura_proxy if the response is blocked, and use foura_browser when the page needs JavaScript.

Foura — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Foura do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: foura_auto, foura_browser, foura_proxy, foura_single. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Foura working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 157 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Foura?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Foura need an API key?
No. Foura completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Foura?
It answers our handshake in 157 ms on average, which is faster than 72% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Foura?
The npm package @fouradata/mcp was installed 178 times in the last week. Week over week that is +63%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Foura open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 4 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
