Read any public web page as clean, agent-ready Markdown — typically ~4x smaller than the raw HTML, so your agent burns fewer tokens per read. Skim strips nav, ads, and boilerplate and keeps the article body with title, byline, and publish date. Also does structured JSON extraction and curated intelligence signal feeds.
skim is a remote MCP server published at skim402.com. It has been probed 6 times since 9/10/2026. It answered in 6 of them (100.0%), a near-uninterrupted record. Median response time is 543 ms, a delay an agent will notice. It offers a narrow, focused set of 3 tools. On the protocol side it still runs 2025-11-25 and has not moved to the newer spec.
Can an LLM agent pick the right tool here — names, descriptions and parameter clarity are assessed.
skim_extract — Parameter expectations (preset/JSON Schema) are mentioned but not formally defined in inputSchema.skim_signals — Cost details in description may distract from core functionality without clear error handling for failed polls.Risk: medium
tools/list structure, inputSchema validity, and a functional smoke test — the components of the 0-100 score.
Derived by comparing consecutive probes — changes in era, protocol version, build and reachability.

Each block is one measurement round. Green: working response. Amber: responded but the server was returning errors (5xx). Red: no response at all.
Each cell is one probe run. Faded cells are incomplete probes — one leg did not answer, so the era is inconclusive.
The two probe legs separately: modern server/discover and legacy initialize.
