lyrenth-mcp — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Fetches public web pages and transforms them into stripped-down Markdown documents. Cuts context token overhead by dropping site menus and boilerplate code.
claude mcp add lyrenth-mcp -- npx -y lyrenth-mcpWhat lyrenth-mcp does
This server fetches external web pages through Lyrenth, stripping out menus and page clutter. It returns an AIDocument payload containing clean Markdown and structural metadata. Models receive focused content. Each response reports token savings compared to raw page source.
The read_url tool handles a single web address. For bulk lookups, read_urls accepts up to 20 links in one call and isolates errors per address. An optional max_tokens argument trims content at sentence boundaries so responses fit your token budget. Check remaining plan credits with check_usage.
Without setting LYRENTH_API_KEY, the remote endpoint rejects every query. A free account tier provides 2,000 monthly reads without entering credit card details. The setup runs remotely or locally. Remote clients connect at https://api.lyrenth.com/mcp, while local environments invoke npx.
