Server instructions

Cite or capture a web page. Use extract_citation when a page needs to enter a reference manager, how_to_capture when a source has to be saved as evidence, install_extension when the capture has to run in a browser without a click. Every figure behind these tools has a documented method and a control run — list_measurements shows them. Prose pages are published in nine languages (en, de, es, fr, it, ja, pt-BR, ru, zh-CN). Request one with 'Accept: text/markdown' plus 'Accept-Language: de', or append '?lang=de'; without it you get the page default and every other language stripped out. Measured values, identifiers and URLs are identical in all of them.

Known tools 10

list_measurements

Use when a claim about browser tools, capture quality, OCR recall or citation extraction needs a number behind it — or when you want to check one of ours.

Inferred read-only

get_measurement_data

Use before quoting a figure: this returns what stands behind it — the values, the control run, and the conditions that limit them.

Inferred read-only

get_method

Fetch a reproducible method: reading a browser extension's permissions, measuring OCR recall with a control run, or choosing between print-to-PDF and screen capture.

Inferred read-only

extract_citation

Read the citation details a web page declares about itself and return them as a structured record plus ready-to-import RIS and BibTeX.

Inferred read-only

extract_citations

Use when you have a reading list rather than one source — a bibliography to build, a set of links to verify before submitting, an archive to describe.

Inferred read-only

recommend_settings

The capture settings that fit a given purpose, each with the measurement behind it or an explicit note that none exists.

Inferred read-only

how_to_capture

Get the runnable route for saving a web page that this endpoint cannot read — the sources it hands back.

Inferred read-only

install_extension

Install or uninstall the capture extension in Firefox or Chrome without a window, without a click and without administrator rights.

Inferred read-only

adoption_stats

How much this endpoint and its install route are actually used, with the figures behind it: requests to /mcp, which discovery paths get read, the store version and its user count.

Inferred read-only

open_work

List what this project needs done, with enough context to start.

Inferred read-only
