What the publisher says
From the LinkPreflight repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
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.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
