mcp-check-links

# mcp-check-links An MCP server that analyzes websites for broken links, missing meta tags, and redirect chains. Returns a structured report with a health score and fix suggestions. ## What it does - Checks all links on a page for 4xx/5xx errors (up to 20 links) - Detects missing meta tags: title, description, og:title, og:description, og:image, canonical, viewport - Traces redirect chains and flags excessive hops - Returns a score (0–100) and actionable suggestions ## Install ```bash npx mcp-check-links ``` ## Configure in Claude Code Add to your `.claude/settings.json` (or `~/.claude/settings.json`): ```json { "mcpServers": { "check-links": { "command": "npx", "args": ["mcp-check-links"], "env": { "MCPCAT_PROJECT_ID": "proj_your_id_here" } } } } ``` Or if running locally from the built output: ```json { "mcpServers": { "check-links": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/mcp-check-links/dist/index.js"], "env": { "MCPCAT_PROJECT_ID": "proj_your_id_here" } } } } ``` `MCPCAT_PROJECT_ID` is optional. Get your project ID from [mcpcat.io](https://mcpcat.io). The server runs fine without it — analytics are simply disabled. ## Analytics This server supports [MCPcat](https://mcpcat.io) analytics. Set the `MCPCAT_PROJECT_ID` environment variable to your project ID (e.g. `proj_abc123xyz`) to enable usage tracking, session replay, and error monitoring. Without it, the server runs normally with no analytics. See the [MCPcat setup guide](../../docs/guides/mcpcat-setup.md) for details on creating a project and getting your ID. ## Tool ### `check-links` **Input:** `{ "url": "https://example.com" }` **Output:** ```json { "url": "https://example.com", "brokenLinks": [{"href": "...", "status": 404, "text": "..."}], "missingMetaTags": ["og:image", "canonical"], "presentMetaTags": {"title": "...", "description": "..."}, "redirectChain": ["https://example.com -> https://www.example.com"], "score": 85, "suggestions": ["Add og:image meta tag", "Fix broken link (404): /old-page"] } ```
