extract

extract_url_metadata

Fetch a URL and return its title, description, preview image, and site name, scraped from OpenGraph/meta tags -- the same data a chat app uses to render a link preview card. Rejects non-http(s) URLs and URLs resolving to private/internal addresses. Do NOT use for URLs that require authentication or return non-HTML content (PDFs, images, JSON APIs) -- this tool only parses HTML <head> metadata.

URL Metadata API — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can URL Metadata API do?

It exposes 1 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: extract_url_metadata. 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 URL Metadata API working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 92 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 188 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists URL Metadata API as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect URL Metadata API?

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 URL Metadata API need an API key?

No. URL Metadata API 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.

Is URL Metadata API open source?

We cannot say either way: written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
