Compatibility
The remote endpoint has been tested with the official MCP Inspector CLI. Other client configuration files in this repository are unverified templates, not compatibility claims.
Limitations and responsible use
This is a public beta for fetching public pages. It does not promise JavaScript rendering, CAPTCHA solving, a particular exit location, uninterrupted availability, or access-control bypass. Review limitations and responsible use.
Privacy
No account is required, but this is not a guarantee of anonymity. Requested URLs and request metadata are processed to operate the service. See PRIVACY.md for confirmed behavior and open policy confirmations.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
