Documentation

From the project's GitHub README.

LinkPreflight

A remote MCP server and API for AI agents. One preflight(url) call tells you whether a link is safe, live, and what's behind it (status, redirects, dead or parked, phishing flags, content type, llms.txt) before your agent clicks or fetches it.

Site and docs: https://linkpreflight.dev
MCP endpoint: https://linkpreflight.dev/mcp
API: GET https://linkpreflight.dev/v1/preflight?url=example.com
Free: 200 checks a day. Packs: $10 for 25,000 checks.

Pairs well with

Clearcrawl, from our studio: once a URL passes preflight, Clearcrawl turns it into clean markdown or JSON.
VibePicks, from our studio: one clear verdict per AI dev-tool job.
