Available tools 4

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

assess
assess_takedown
Assess how a takedown for this URL would proceed: where the notice goes (host, platform, or a hidden host that must be revealed first), what documents and attestation the content owner must supply, the step-by-step process, and the legal caveats (§512(f), scope limits). Read-only; does not judge the merits of the claim and files nothing. Use resolve_host first if you only need the hosting answer.
preserve
preserve_evidence
Preserve a public web page as evidence BEFORE it disappears: a forensic-grade package — full-page screenshot, raw and rendered HTML, HTTP headers, hosting/registrar context, SHA-256 hashes of every artifact, an OpenTimestamps Bitcoin anchor and an Internet Archive snapshot — delivered to the USER'S OWN email in ~2 minutes (free: 3/day, 10/month per email). Use when the user wants to "save proof", "screenshot for court" or fix a scam/infringing page before takedown. Sends one email to the address given; captures only public pages (no logins/paywalls); lawful preservation only. Not notarization — Lawyerd counsel can add a signed declaration of the capture procedure on request.
resolve
resolve_host
Look up who hosts a URL and where an abuse/takedown notice would go. Identifies the CDN/proxy in front (e.g. Cloudflare), the platform, or the direct host and its abuse contact. For direct hosts and previously-revealed domains it returns the real host immediately; for a domain hidden behind a proxy it explains that revealing the true host requires initiating an abuse report. Read-only; files nothing. A lookup, not legal advice; it does not guarantee removal.
start
start_takedown
Get the secure onboarding link to actually start a takedown. The content owner opens it once in a browser to identify themselves, sign the standing authorization (the one step that legally requires a human), and provide proof of ownership. Returns the link plus what to prepare and what happens next. Creates nothing by itself; filings targeting lawful criticism, reviews or journalism are declined at intake.

Takedown — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Takedown do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: assess_takedown, preserve_evidence, resolve_host, start_takedown. 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 Takedown 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 120 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Takedown?
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 Takedown need an API key?
No. Takedown 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 Takedown?
It answers our handshake in 120 ms on average, which is faster than 80% 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.
Is Takedown open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence and 17 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.
