Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Text Readability Scorer MCP Server?
You ask your AI copywriter: 'Is this blog post easy to read?' It says 'Yes, it is very engaging!' Then you run it through a real SEO tool and it scores at a university reading level — killing your mobile bounce rate.
LLMs cannot accurately count syllables or calculate sentence complexity. This MCP uses the text-readability library to execute standard linguistic formulas, providing mathematical proof of how difficult your text is to read.
The Superpowers
- Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level: The industry standard. Returns a number corresponding to the US grade level (e.g., 8.2 = 8th grade).
- Flesch Reading Ease: A 0-100 scale where higher is easier. Essential for broad audience copy.
- Multiple Algorithms: Also calculates Gunning Fog, Coleman-Liau, SMOG, and Automated Readability Index (ARI).
- Consensus Evaluation: Automatically aggregates all scores to give you a definitive target audience level.
Built-in capabilities (1)
Essential for SEO, marketing, and legal compliance. Calculate rigorous readability metrics for any text (Flesch-Kincaid, Gunning Fog, SMOG, etc.)

Frequently asked questions
Why can't the LLM just estimate the reading level?
Readability formulas (like Flesch-Kincaid) require exact mathematical counts of syllables per word and words per sentence. LLMs operate on sub-word tokens, not syllables, making them notoriously bad at these calculations. This engine uses deterministic linguistic math.
What is a good Flesch Reading Ease score for web content?
For general consumer web content, aim for 60-70. This translates to an 8th-9th grade reading level, which is easily understood by 80% of adults. Legal or academic texts usually score in the 30s or lower.
Does this work for non-English text?
The formulas (Flesch, Fog, SMOG) were developed and calibrated specifically for the English language based on English syllable structures. While the engine will calculate a score for other languages, the grade-level mapping is only statistically accurate for English.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
