Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

external-content-providers-mcp

v0.3.2

Published

MCP server for internet content retrieval providers: Jina, markdown.new, defuddle.md, and SocialData.tools.

Readme

external-content-providers-mcp

MCP server for internet content retrieval providers:

  • r.jina.ai: read public URLs as LLM-friendly text, with optional Jina engine/proxy/cache controls
  • s.jina.ai: search the web and convert results to LLM-friendly text
  • markdown.new: convert public URLs to Markdown
  • defuddle.md: convert public URLs to clean Markdown
  • SocialData.tools: retrieve public X/Twitter tweets, users, timelines, mentions, and search results

Install

Run directly with npx:

npx -y external-content-providers-mcp

Example Codex config:

codex mcp add external_content -- npx -y external-content-providers-mcp

Tools

  • content_provider_catalog
  • jina_read_url
  • jina_search
  • jina_auth_status
  • markdown_new_read_url
  • defuddle_read_url
  • read_url_markdown
  • socialdata_auth_status
  • socialdata_request
  • socialdata_search_tweets
  • socialdata_get_tweet
  • socialdata_get_tweets_by_ids
  • socialdata_get_user_profile
  • socialdata_get_user_tweets
  • socialdata_get_user_mentions

API Keys

Basic r.jina.ai, markdown.new, and defuddle.md URL reads can work without API keys.

Jina Search (s.jina.ai) and Jina proxy controls require a Jina API key:

export JINA_API_KEY="..."

SocialData.tools requests require a SocialData API key:

export SOCIALDATA_API_KEY="..."

On macOS, the server also checks Keychain entries with account codex:

security add-generic-password -a codex -s JINA_API_KEY -w "..."
security add-generic-password -a codex -s SOCIALDATA_API_KEY -w "..."

For backward compatibility, the server also checks SocialData.tools and SOCIALDATA_TOOLS_API_KEY Keychain service names.

The server never returns API keys from auth-status tools.

Notes

Some upstream endpoints have limited access or require paid/API-key access. The MCP server returns upstream HTTP status and error bodies where possible.
