Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check URL Normalize every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

URL Normalize — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can URL Normalize do?
It exposes 30 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: agent-ads-index, agent-tool-index, browser-url-ok, calc-eval, citation, compatibility and 24 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 →
What is URL Normalize mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around status and agent. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is URL Normalize 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 111 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect URL Normalize?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does URL Normalize need an API key?
No. URL Normalize completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 30 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is URL Normalize?
It answers our handshake in 111 ms on average, which is faster than 95% 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 URL Normalize open source?
We cannot say either way: 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
