What is the URL Metadata Scraper MCP Server?
When an AI Agent needs to summarize a link for a social media post, loading the entire HTML into the context window is slow, expensive, and leads to hallucinations. This MCP solves that by natively fetching only the OpenGraph and SEO tags.
The Superpowers
- Token Optimization: Uses Cheerio to parse HTML instantly in the Edge runtime, returning only the 4 fields you care about.
- Social Ready: Perfect for agents building marketing dashboards or Twitter threads.
Built-in capabilities (1)
Pass the full URL and receive structured metadata without loading a headless browser. Useful for link previews, SEO audits, and social sharing validation. Extracts OpenGraph and SEO metadata (Title, Description, Image) from a URL instantly without loading a full headless browser

Frequently asked questions
Does it run a headless browser?
No, it uses a lightweight fetch to grab the raw HTML, making it incredibly fast.
What fields does it extract?
Title, description, featured image URL, and site name.
Can it bypass captchas?
No, this is a lightweight HTTP scraper. It will fail on sites protected by Cloudflare or advanced bot protection.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
