webcap does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 96.0% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Available tools 8

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

webcap
webcap_analyze
PAID ($0.01): AI analysis of one URL. Pick the task that matches the question you are answering.
webcap_audit
PAID ($0.002): SEO basics plus link and Open Graph health for one URL in a single call. Returns issues with severity, not just raw tags.
webcap_capture
PAID ($0.001 image/PDF, $0.005 video): turn a URL into a persistent public artifact. png/jpeg/pdf are a screenshot or PDF and include free OG metadata; mp4/webm scroll-record the page as WebM/VP8 (mp4 is a legacy alias). Settles gasless USDC over x402 — but an unpaid call runs free while the rolling per-IP allowance lasts, so just call it.
webcap_extract
PAID ($0.01, one payment covers a batch of up to 50 URLs): structured content as JSON — title, headings, paragraphs, links, images, document-order markdown. Provide exactly one of "url" (a single page) or "urls" (a batch); "url" is shorthand for a one-item "urls".
webcap_map_lite
PAID ($0.002): discover a site's URLs from its sitemap and robots.txt plus a 1-hop same-host crawl, and return them as a JSON list. Cheaper than crawling each page with webcap_extract.
webcap_og
Free Open Graph metadata for a URL: title, description, image, icon. No payment.
webcap_preview
Free bounded preview of a page: title, description, headings, links, word count and a truncated markdown slice. Use it to peek before the full extract. Rate-limited per IP. This is a teaser, not the product: the real products are free too inside the rolling per-IP allowance.
webcap_service_catalog
Free service catalog (no payment): every paid endpoint with its exact price in USDC, the settlement network, USDC asset, payTo address, facilitator and the step-by-step x402 how-to-pay flow, plus the free allowance this caller has left. Call this first to learn what webcap sells and what it costs.

webcap — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can webcap do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: webcap_analyze, webcap_audit, webcap_capture, webcap_extract, webcap_map_lite, webcap_og and 2 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 webcap working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 89 of 91 checks got a reply (97.8%), average response time 327 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Did webcap ever remove tools?
Yes. webcap_agent_funnel, webcap_service, webcap_feedback, webcap_health and 9 more are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.
How do I connect webcap?
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 webcap need an API key?
No. webcap completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is webcap?
It answers our handshake in 327 ms on average, which is faster than 49% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is webcap open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at webcap.shoutsid.fyi, which runs on its operator's own terms.
