brokenLink
Find broken links on a webpage
LABSCO SUMMARY
It answers the scrape and the reason the scrape failed.
Most web servers stop at content. Having redirectCheck, tlsScan, httpProtocol and siteStatus in the same tool list means that when a fetch comes back wrong, the next question — bad certificate, redirect loop, or the site simply down — is one more call rather than a different service.
What it is
The official MCP server for the Geekflare API. It combines web scraping and search with a set of site diagnostics: DNS and DNSSEC, TLS configuration, redirect chains, broken links, HTTP headers and protocol support, open ports, load time, TTFB and a Lighthouse audit.
What you get
- Scraping — webScrape returns HTML, Markdown, JSON or LLM-optimised text, with device emulation, JS rendering, ad blocking, stealth mode for CAPTCHAs and proxy routing by country; metaScrape pulls the meta tags alone
- Capture — screenshot with device, full-page, quality, delay, cookie-banner hiding and timestamp options; url2Pdf converts a page to PDF
- Search — search returns clean results as JSON, Markdown or HTML, with time, domain and category filters and optional scraping of the results themselves
- DNS and certificates — dnsRecord, dnsSec, tlsScan
- Availability and routing — siteStatus, redirectCheck, httpHeader, httpProtocol, ping, mtr
- Quality — brokenLink, mixedContent, loadTime, ttfb, lighthouse
- openPorts scans a host's open ports
Requirements
The npm package @geekflare/mcp over stdio with API_KEY in the environment, a Docker image taking the same variable, or the hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint https://mcp.geekflare.com/<YOUR_API_KEY>/mcp with the key in the path. Sign up at geekflare.com/api and copy the key from the dashboard.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — npx -y @geekflare/mcp, then supply credentials
USE CASES
01
Getting a page as markdown even when it fights you
JS rendering, ad blocking, stealth mode for CAPTCHAs and proxy routing, all on the same call.
02
Diagnosing why a site is unreachable
Up or down, the redirect chain it takes, and what DNS actually returns.
03
Auditing certificates and DNS
TLS configuration, whether DNSSEC is enabled, and which HTTP versions the origin supports.
04
Finding what is broken on a page
Dead links and mixed content, which are the two that get shipped without anyone noticing.
05
Measuring how slow a page really is
Page load time and time to first byte, with a full Lighthouse audit when you need the breakdown.
06
Capturing a page as an image or a PDF
Full-page screenshots with cookie banners hidden, or the page converted to PDF.
07
Searching the web with the results already scraped
Clean results plus their page content, filtered by time, domain or category.
