Common questions

Is Linkrot 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 7 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js, Docker on your computer.

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

linkrot

Docs link checker that separates failure kinds instead of calling every bad response a dead link. Relative links and anchors are verified against the filesystem. External links are classified by what actually happened: healthy, dead, moved, bot-blocked, or error. A 403 from a bot wall is not a dead link, and linkrot never reports it as one.

What it does

Walks a target directory for markdown files (skipping node_modules, .git, and dist) or checks a single markdown file.
Extracts inline links (image links count), reference-style definitions, and reference usages that resolve to a definition. Links inside fenced code blocks are ignored. Bare URLs in prose and autolinks are not extracted.
Checks each link by class:
RELATIVE-FILE: the path part is resolved relative to the markdown file. A missing target is a DEAD-RELATIVE finding (high).
RELATIVE-ANCHOR: the file exists but the anchor slug is not among the target file heading slugs. That is an ANCHOR-MISSING finding (medium). Slugs are built by lowercasing, stripping punctuation, and turning spaces into hyphens.
SAME-FILE-ANCHOR: a link like #section in the same file, checked against that file heading slugs with the same ANCHOR-MISSING rule.
EXTERNAL: http and https links are reported as UNCHECKED info entries in offline mode. They are counted and never fail the check.
MAILTO and other schemes are skipped silently and counted under skipped.

Install

npx @reneturcios/linkrot check .

Or install globally:

npm install -g @reneturcios/linkrot

CLI

linkrot check [path] [--json]

linkrot mcp linkrot --version

check runs the offline check on a path (default: current directory). Exit code is 0 when the verdict is OK and 1 for any other verdict. Use --json for the machine-readable report.
mcp starts the MCP server on stdio.
--version prints the version.

MCP

The MCP server exposes one tool:

check_links with a path argument. It returns the same JSON report as linkrot check --json.

Offline by default

Offline mode is the default and the shipped default. The core is synchronous and performs no network requests.

This is deliberate. The founding observation behind linkrot is that automated fetches routinely hit bot walls, login gates, and rate limits. A checker that fetches every external URL and treats any non-2xx response as dead will report healthy pages as broken whenever a site blocks bots. Offline mode avoids that failure entirely: it proves what can be proven locally (relative files and anchors) and reports external links honestly as UNCHECKED instead of guessing.

Link classes and status vocabulary

When an online mode checks external URLs in the future, each HTTP status maps to exactly one class:

Class	Meaning
healthy	2xx, plus 3xx redirects that are not permanent moves (for example 302, 304, 307)
dead	404 or 410: the page is gone
moved	A redirect to a new location. Permanent redirects (301, 308) get the distinct label moved-permanent.
bot-blocked	401, 403, or 429: a bot wall, auth gate, or rate limit answered. The page may be fine for a human.
error	5xx and anything else: the check itself could not get a trustworthy answer

The function classifyStatus(status) implements this table and is unit tested. Keeping bot-blocked separate from dead is the point of the tool: conflating them turns every Cloudflare or login wall into a false dead-link report.

Verdict rules

Verdict is OK when there are no DEAD-RELATIVE and no ANCHOR-MISSING findings.
Verdict is FINDINGS otherwise.
UNCHECKED external entries never affect the verdict in offline mode.

The report counts files, links, dead, anchorsMissing, and externalUnchecked, plus per-class counts: relativeFile, relativeAnchor, sameFileAnchor, external, and skipped.

Limits

The offline core checks relative links and anchors only.
External liveness is not checked offline. External links are reported UNCHECKED, never guessed as healthy or dead. A future online mode will classify them with the vocabulary above.
Extraction covers inline links and reference definitions (with full and collapsed reference usages resolved). Shortcut reference links, bare URLs, and autolinks are not extracted.
Anchor checks apply when the link target is a markdown file. Anchors pointing into non-markdown files are not verified.
Heading slugs follow a simplified GitHub rule: lowercase, strip punctuation, spaces to hyphens, with duplicate headings suffixed -1, -2, and so on.
