ToolTrace is a helper that lets your AI look at web pages for you. You give it a link, and it brings back the page's text, links, and other useful details. It is handy if you work with websites, write content, or check how a site is built.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you using what it already knows. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an outside service. This one connects your AI to ToolTrace, a web page reading service. Once it is set up, you can ask your AI about a web page and it will go fetch the details for you.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something about a web page, like what it says or what links are on it. Your AI passes that request to this helper. The helper talks to the ToolTrace service, which visits the page and reads it. The results come back to your AI, and your AI explains them to you in the chat. You never have to open the page yourself.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “What does this web page say?”, the ToolTrace MCP server connects it to ToolTrace, and you get back answer in your chat.
