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.

page
page_links
Every hyperlink on a page, resolved to absolute URLs, each with its anchor text and whether it stays on the same host. Use to crawl an index, find the real article behind a landing page, or enumerate a documentation table of contents before deciding what to read. Capped at 300 links. Costs $0.008 USDC per call via x402 on Base.
read_page
Fetch a URL and return its readable text with scripts, styles, navigation and markup stripped, plus the title, description, site name and publication date from the page's own metadata. Use whenever you need the contents of a page rather than a search result about it. Output is capped so it fits a prompt — raise maxChars if you need more. JavaScript is not executed, so a page that renders entirely client-side returns its shell, and the character count tells you when that happened. A site that blocks automated clients is reported honestly and is NOT charged. Costs $0.008 USDC per call via x402 on Base.
demand
demand_report
FREE, no payment. The aggregate of what agents have told us they are looking for, most-requested first, with the categories nothing available yet serves.
request
request_data
FREE, no payment. Describe in your own words the data you are trying to buy — anything, not just web pages — and get back whether we operate a service that supplies it, with the MCP endpoint if so. Every request is catalogued so repeatedly-requested data gets built. Nothing identifying is stored, only the words of the request.

MCPFax Web Extract — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can MCPFax Web Extract do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: demand_report, page_links, read_page, request_data. 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 MCPFax Web Extract 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 80 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect MCPFax Web Extract?
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 MCPFax Web Extract need an API key?
No. MCPFax Web Extract 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 MCPFax Web Extract?
It answers our handshake in 80 ms on average, which is faster than 89% 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.
