What is the Deadlink Checker MCP MCP server?

Most search and retrieval work still happens through a UI a human drives. Deadlink Checker MCP MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Dead link checker MCP server - find broken links, redirects, and timeouts on any website. Free tier: 30 links/scan.

Getting it running

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at deadlink-checker-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 4 tools. What each one is for:

  • Cursor — Add to MCP settings: json { "mcpServers": { "deadlink-checker": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "deadlink-checker-mcp"] } } }
  • check_links — The check_links tool exposed by this server
  • deep_scan — Recursively crawl internal pages and check all discovered links
  • check_sitemap — The check_sitemap tool exposed by this server

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

Among the search and retrieval options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Deadlink Checker MCP's toolset — Cursor, check_links, deep_scan and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by yifanyifan897645; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
