For agents

Use when

Use this when an agent needs to know what a remote MCP server offers before connecting it: transport, protocol version, whether it needs auth, and the tools it lists. A GET checks the URL first; initialize and tools/list are POSTed only if that GET identifies an MCP server, and no tool is ever called. Remote text comes back labelled as untrusted third-party data.

Field / What it holds
FieldWhat it holds
mcp_detectedWhether the URL answered as an MCP server. A 401 or 403 counts only with a Bearer challenge whose RFC 9728 metadata names this server, or once the URL has given MCP evidence.
transportstreamable_http, legacy_sse (the deprecated 2024-11-05 HTTP+SSE transport, detected but not listed), or null.
authrequired, plus for protected servers the schemes, resource_metadata URL, scope and RFC 9728 details.
protocol_versionThe protocol version the server negotiated.
capabilitiesThe capability names the server declares.
tool_countTools returned, up to the cap.
tools_statuslisted, auth_required, unsupported or not_attempted.
truncatedTrue when the tool list passed the page or tool cap.
third_partyserver_info, instructions and tools: name, title, description, input_schema, annotations. All written by the server's operator.
data_labelAlways third_party_untrusted, and it applies to the whole of third_party.
noticeThat remote text is data, not instructions.

Machine-readable failures

Errors

Errors return JSON such as {"error":"invalid_api_key"}. A failed call is refunded automatically.

Scroll the table horizontally to see all fields.

Code / Status / Meaning
CodeStatusMeaning
url_required400No url was sent.
invalid_url400url is not a URL this service can read.
private_address_not_allowed400The URL resolves to a private or reserved address.
blocked_by_robots400The site's robots.txt refuses PageVerifiedBot on this path. Not charged.
response_too_large400The server's reply is larger than the read cap. Not charged.
mcp_not_confirmed422The URL answered with a bare 405, a Bearer challenge without valid RFC 9728 metadata for this server, or a redirect to another origin. Some MCP servers do this, but so do webhooks and ordinary protected APIs, so nothing was POSTed. Not charged.
tools_list_failed502The server completed initialize but tools/list failed, so neither its tools nor its auth requirement are known. Not charged.
upstream_refused502The server answered 401, 403 or 429 with no Bearer challenge, which says nothing about what it is. Not charged.
fetch_timeout502The server did not answer in time. Not charged.
fetch_failed502The server could not be read or answered 5xx. Not charged.

invalid_api_key401The authorization header is missing or the key is unknown.
insufficient_credits402The balance is below this call's cost. The response carries credits_required and credits_remaining.
