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

link
check_link_followability
Fetch a live web page and decide whether a link on it is followable by a crawler. Combines the X-Robots-Tag response header, the robots/user-agent meta tags, and the anchor's own rel tokens (nofollow, ugc, sponsored), with the most restrictive signal winning. Returns a verdict per matching anchor plus the exact reasons it was blocked. Use it to verify a backlink you were promised is actually followable.

Link Followability — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Link Followability do?
It exposes 1 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_link_followability. 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 Link Followability 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 76 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Link Followability?
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 Link Followability need an API key?
No. Link Followability completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 1 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Link Followability?
It answers our handshake in 76 ms on average, which is faster than 96% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
