Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Browser URL Check every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Browser URL Check — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Browser URL Check do?
It exposes 29 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: agent-tool-index, browser-url-ok, calc-eval, citation, compatibility, domain-shape and 23 more. 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 Browser URL Check working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 93 of 93 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 50 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Browser URL Check?
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 Browser URL Check need an API key?
No. Browser URL Check completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 29 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Browser URL Check?
It answers our handshake in 50 ms on average, which is faster than 91% 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 Browser URL Check open source?
We cannot say that it is: 0 stars on GitHub, but no licence is declared, and without one the code is not open source by default.
