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 🙏

Readme

web-tools-mcp

An MCP server with a set of web utilities for AI agents: read a page as Markdown, pull link metadata, scrape with CSS selectors, parse feeds, and run DNS, RDAP, SSL, and HTTP checks. Deterministic, no LLM, and no API keys needed for the free tier.

Install

{ "mcpServers": { "web-tools": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "web-tools-mcp"] } } }

Tools

  • read_url: fetch a page and return the main content as clean Markdown, with the nav and ads stripped out. Good for RAG.
  • unfurl_url: get a URL's title, description, preview image, site name, and favicon.
  • validate_email: syntax check plus a live MX lookup, with disposable, role, and free-provider detection.
  • extract_web: scrape a page with CSS selectors and get back the fields you asked for.
  • get_feed: fetch an RSS or Atom feed and return the items as JSON.
  • dns_lookup: DNS records (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, and the rest) plus SPF and DMARC detection.
  • domain_info: registration details via RDAP, including domain age, registrar, and expiry.
  • ssl_check: inspect a host's TLS certificate: issuer, validity window, days until expiry, and SANs.
  • http_inspect: final status, the full redirect chain, response headers, and a security-header report.
  • structured_data: extract JSON-LD, OpenGraph, and Twitter card data from a page.

It calls the API at https://agent-tools-api.vercel.app (set TOOLS_API_URL if you self-host). One of six agent tools and guards in this repo: package-guard, agent-firewall, payment-guard, email-guard, code-guard, and web-tools. MIT.
