Which app do you use?
Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.
This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Common questions
Is Tooltrace MCP safe?
It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
You need to fill in: TOOLTRACE_API_KEY, Authorization
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.3) reached the registry 2 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.
What can I use instead?

ToolTrace MCP Server
Give AI agents a complete web intelligence toolkit. This Model Context Protocol server connects Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Windsurf and any other MCP client to the ToolTrace API.
One tool per ToolTrace endpoint: scrape any page to clean Markdown, read metadata and JSON-LD, extract links, run on-page SEO audits, detect a site's tech stack, and check XML sitemaps. Free tier included, no card required.
Setup guide: tooltrace.io/mcp
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
tooltrace_extract | Extract clean Markdown, text, metadata, links, JSON-LD, and sections from any webpage |
tooltrace_metadata | Get page title, description, canonical URL, Open Graph, and Twitter card fields |
tooltrace_links | Extract all internal and external links with anchor text |
tooltrace_schema | Extract JSON-LD structured data (Article, Product, FAQ, etc.) |
tooltrace_seo_audit | Run an SEO audit with scored checks and recommendations |
tooltrace_tech_stack | Detect CMS, frameworks, analytics, CDN, hosting, and more |
tooltrace_sitemap | Inspect and parse XML sitemaps |
Two ways to connect
Hosted, for clients that take a connector URL. Nothing to install or update:
https://mcp.tooltrace.io/mcp
claude mcp add --transport http tooltrace https://mcp.tooltrace.io/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer your-api-key"
Also listed on Smithery.
Local, over stdio, for clients that run a process. Use this when your client does not speak HTTP, or when you would rather your API key never left your own machine. That is the quick start below.
Both expose the same tools and bill the same credits.
Quick start
1. Get a free API key
Sign up at tooltrace.io/signup. The free plan includes 1,000 credits per month.
2. Install
npm install -g @tooltrace/mcp-server
3. Configure your MCP client
Claude Desktop (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": { "tooltrace": { "command": "tooltrace-mcp", "env": { "TOOLTRACE_API_KEY": "your-api-key" } } } }
Claude Code:
claude mcp add tooltrace tooltrace-mcp -e TOOLTRACE_API_KEY=your-api-key
Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": { "tooltrace": { "command": "tooltrace-mcp", "env": { "TOOLTRACE_API_KEY": "your-api-key" } } } }
VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json):
{
"servers": { "tooltrace": { "command": "tooltrace-mcp", "env": { "TOOLTRACE_API_KEY": "your-api-key" } } } }
Codex (~/.codex/config.toml):
[mcp_servers.tooltrace]
command = "tooltrace-mcp" env = { TOOLTRACE_API_KEY = "your-api-key" }
Windsurf (mcp_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": { "tooltrace": { "command": "tooltrace-mcp", "env": { "TOOLTRACE_API_KEY": "your-api-key" } } } }
Any other MCP client: run tooltrace-mcp over stdio and set the TOOLTRACE_API_KEY environment variable. Full per-client setup guide at tooltrace.io/mcp.
Run with npx (no install)
TOOLTRACE_API_KEY=your-api-key npx @tooltrace/mcp-server
Usage examples
Once connected, your AI agent can:
- "Extract the main content from this blog post as Markdown"
- "What technologies does competitor.com use?"
- "Run an SEO audit on our landing page"
- "Get all the links from this documentation page"
- "Extract the JSON-LD schema from this product page"
- "Check the sitemap for this website"
Rendering modes
All tools support a render parameter:
- `never`: Fast static fetch, 1 credit. Best for server-rendered pages.
- `auto` (default): Starts static, renders in browser if needed. 1 or 5 credits.
- `always`: Full browser rendering, 5 credits. For JavaScript-heavy SPAs.
Development
git clone https://github.com/ToolTrace-io/mcp-server.git
cd mcp-server npm install npm run build TOOLTRACE_API_KEY=your-key node dist/index.js
