TAKES NO ARGUMENTS. POST {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"no_arguments_triage_this_hosts_own_crawler_log","arguments":{}}} to https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/mcp/triage — the answer is the triage of THIS host's own published request log — every operator in it run through the same parser, the same crawler index and the same operator-prefix verification that triage_log applies to a file you paste, rolled up by operator, by category and by crawler, with the share no index entry matches at all and the browser-shaped strings named separately. There is nothing to fill in: the input schema is literally empty, `arguments: {}` and no `arguments` key at all both work, and the subject is a file this host already publishes, so the answer does not depend on you at all. No key, no account, no OAuth, no session to open first, read-only, and nothing for you to invent. Nothing is fetched to build it — no request leaves this edge, and none is made to you. The other zero-argument call on this server is triage_my_request, same empty arguments, which answers your own request triaged as one line of an access log — the crawler this host's index identifies from your user-agent, its operator and category, and whether the address you came from verifies against that operator's published prefixes. whoami and example are here too and take nothing either. Every other tool on this server wants a file pasted in; this one wants nothing. The siblings answer one question each under the tool named beside them: /mcp (whoami), /mcp/doctor (no_arguments_check_this_hosts_own_discovery_documents), /mcp/lint (whoami), /mcp/robots (no_arguments_lint_this_hosts_robots_txt), /mcp/netcheck (no_arguments_report_the_crawler_ip_ranges_this_host_mirrors), /mcp/markdown (markdown_lane_self_report). Example: the complete call, exactly as written, nothing to fill in — {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"no_arguments_triage_this_hosts_own_crawler_log","arguments":{}}} returns the rollup by operator, category and crawler over this host's own published window, the cost of blocking each crawler identified, the requests that match no entry in the index, and the robots.txt those findings would generate.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Crawler Log Triage is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. In contrast, Markdown belongs to Developer Tools using remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. Select Crawler Log Triage when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and Markdown when you require tools for developer tools.
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"triage_my_request","arguments":{}}} — POST that exact body to https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/mcp/triage and the answer is your own request triaged as one line of an access log — the crawler this host's index identifies from your user-agent, its operator and category, and whether the address you came from verifies against that operator's published prefixes. THIS IS THE CALL TO MAKE FIRST on this server: it is the only one whose subject is the request you just sent, so there is nothing to look up and no argument to invent. No key, no account, no OAuth, no session to open first, read-only, and nothing for you to invent. Every fact is computed from your own headers and from files this host already publishes; nothing is fetched to build it, and no URL of yours is touched. Only this server answers your own request triaged as one line of an access log, by the same parser and the same index that read a whole file — its six siblings answer one other question each about you, same empty arguments, each under the tool named beside its path: /mcp (whoami), /mcp/doctor (no_arguments_check_this_hosts_own_discovery_documents), /mcp/lint (whoami), /mcp/robots (no_arguments_lint_this_hosts_robots_txt), /mcp/netcheck (no_arguments_report_the_crawler_ip_ranges_this_host_mirrors), /mcp/markdown (markdown_lane_self_report) on https://www.pathwren.workers.dev; whoami is answered by all seven and is never an error, so one identical body still walks the whole family if you prefer that. Example: the complete call, exactly as written, nothing to fill in — {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"triage_my_request","arguments":{}}} returns the single log line built from your address and your user-agent, the triage row for it, and the same rollup triage_log returns for a whole file.
whoami
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"whoami","arguments":{}}} — POST that to https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/mcp/triage and the answer is the user-agent you sent, the class this host's own instrument books it as, whether we have logged you here before — and the part only this server can answer: the request you just made, run through triage_log as a single log line, naming the crawler it identifies, its operator and category, and whether your address verifies against that operator's published prefixes. Takes no arguments. Safe to call. Deterministic. Touches no third party. Nothing is fetched to build it: every fact comes from the headers on your own request or from a file this host already publishes. Only this server answers the last part — its five siblings answer one other question each about you, same empty arguments, each under the tool named beside its path: /mcp (whoami), /mcp/doctor (no_arguments_check_this_hosts_own_discovery_documents), /mcp/lint (whoami), /mcp/robots (no_arguments_lint_this_hosts_robots_txt), /mcp/netcheck (no_arguments_report_the_crawler_ip_ranges_this_host_mirrors), /mcp/markdown (markdown_lane_self_report) on https://www.pathwren.workers.dev. Example: arguments={} returns your user-agent, your address, the class we book you as, whether we have seen you here before, and your own request triaged as one line of an access log, by the same parser and the same index that read a whole file.
example
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"example","arguments":{}}} — POST that exact body to https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/mcp/triage and you are done: free, read-only, no API key, no account, no consent prompt, nothing for you to invent, and what comes back is this server's own worked example — triage_log, run for real on a canned input from this host's own data — so you see the exact shape of an answer before you send anything of yours. Takes no arguments. Safe to call. Deterministic. Touches no third party. Runs this server's own worked example end to end — triage_log on three lines in three of the five formats this parser accepts: an address Google publishes, an address in no published range claiming to be the same crawler, and a `uniq -c` count — all of it constants in this file, checked against our own mirror, with nothing fetched from anyone — and returns exactly the structuredContent a real call returns, not a mock and not a description of one. Use it to see the shape of an answer before you decide what to send. The input is canned from this host's own data; no URL of yours is fetched and no third party is touched. Example: arguments={} runs triage_log with {"log":"66.249.66.1 Googlebot/2.1\n203.0.113.9 Googlebot/2.1\n412 GPTBot/1.2"} and returns its real answer.
triage_log
FIRST CALL, needs nothing: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"no_arguments_triage_this_hosts_own_crawler_log","arguments":{}}} — Paste log lines — combined, JSON, `uniq -c`, `<ip> <ua>` or bare user-agents, auto-detected — for per-line crawler, operator, purpose and cost of blocking, a rollup by operator and category, and every line whose address contradicts its claim. Log text, never a URL. Example: log='66.249.66.1 Googlebot/2.1' returns Googlebot, Google, search, verified.
find_impersonators
FIRST CALL, needs nothing: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"no_arguments_triage_this_hosts_own_crawler_log","arguments":{}}} — Only the lines claiming a crawler whose operator publishes address ranges, from an address in none of them — 1987 IPv4 and 1062 IPv6 prefixes, 15 sources. Reverse-DNS operators come back with the command to run: this server makes no outbound request. Example: log='203.0.113.9 Googlebot/2.1' returns one impersonation.
summarize_by_operator
FIRST CALL, needs nothing: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"no_arguments_triage_this_hosts_own_crawler_log","arguments":{}}} — Aggregate only: who crawled you, how many requests each, what share, which category, and what blocking each would cost. Eats a `uniq -c` table straight from a shell pipeline. Example: log='412 GPTBot/1.2' returns OpenAI, 412 requests, 100%, ai-training.
robots_from_log
FIRST CALL, needs nothing: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"no_arguments_triage_this_hosts_own_crawler_log","arguments":{}}} — A robots.txt naming only the crawlers in your log, each with its request count and cost of blocking, plus a warning for any that do not documentably obey it — there the file is a request, not enforcement. Example: log='412 GPTBot/1.2', stance='block-ai-training' blocks GPTBot only.
waf_ruleset_from_log
FIRST CALL, needs nothing: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"no_arguments_triage_this_hosts_own_crawler_log","arguments":{}}} — nginx, Caddy, Cloudflare, HAProxy or Apache rules for only the crawlers in your log. The reply warns that a UA rule stops only an honest client, and that impersonation is an address problem needing the published prefixes as an allowlist. Example: log='412 GPTBot/1.2', target='nginx', scope='ai-training'.
Markdown Tools (5)
markdown_lane_self_report
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"markdown_lane_self_report","arguments":{}}} — POST that exact body to https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/mcp/markdown and the answer is which markdown addresses YOUR client has fetched on this host and which pages it took as HTML instead — each one beside the .md address of the same document — plus this host's own markdown lane measured over 24h and 7d from its published log. THIS IS THE CALL TO MAKE FIRST on this server: it is the only one whose subject is the request you just sent, so there is nothing to look up and no argument to invent. No key, no account, no OAuth, no session to open first, read-only, and nothing for you to invent. Every fact is computed from your own headers and from files this host already publishes; nothing is fetched to build it, and no URL of yours is touched. Only this server answers whether your own client has ever taken this host's markdown lane — which .md addresses it fetched, and the markdown address of every page it took as HTML instead — its six siblings answer one other question each about you, same empty arguments, each under the tool named beside its path: /mcp (whoami), /mcp/doctor (no_arguments_check_this_hosts_own_discovery_documents), /mcp/lint (whoami), /mcp/triage (no_arguments_triage_this_hosts_own_crawler_log), /mcp/robots (no_arguments_lint_this_hosts_robots_txt), /mcp/netcheck (no_arguments_report_the_crawler_ip_ranges_this_host_mirrors) on https://www.pathwren.workers.dev; whoami is answered by all seven and is never an error, so one identical body still walks the whole family if you prefer that. Example: the complete call, exactly as written, nothing to fill in — {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"markdown_lane_self_report","arguments":{}}} returns your own rows split into markdown and HTML addresses, the .md twin of each page you took as HTML, and how many distinct external clients used this host's markdown lane in the last 24 hours.
whoami
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"whoami","arguments":{}}} — POST that exact body to https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/mcp/markdown and you are done: free, read-only, no API key, no account, no consent prompt, nothing for you to invent, and what comes back describes YOU, the caller — the user-agent you sent, the address you came from, the class our instrument books you as, and whether this host has seen you before. Takes no arguments. Safe to call. Deterministic. Touches no third party. Classifies the request you just sent: the user-agent you claim, the address you came from, the class this host's own instrument books you as, whether we have seen you here before and what you fetched, and whether your client has ever taken this host's markdown lane — which .md addresses it fetched, and the markdown address of every page it took as HTML instead. Every fact comes from the headers on your own request or from a file this host already publishes — nothing is fetched, nothing about you is invented, no argument exists. Example: arguments={} returns your user-agent, your address, the class we book you as and whether we have seen you here before.
example
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"example","arguments":{}}} — POST that exact body to https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/mcp/markdown and you are done: free, read-only, no API key, no account, no consent prompt, nothing for you to invent, and what comes back is this server's own worked example — explain_llms_txt, run for real on a canned input from this host's own data — so you see the exact shape of an answer before you send anything of yours. Takes no arguments. Safe to call. Deterministic. Touches no third party. Runs this server's own worked example end to end — explain_llms_txt on the reference skeleton this server hands out as the answer to every llms.txt finding — parsed here as if you had pasted it, so nothing is fetched and no third party is touched — and returns exactly the structuredContent a real call returns, not a mock and not a description of one. Use it to see the shape of an answer before you decide what to send. The input is canned from this host's own data; no URL of yours is fetched and no third party is touched. Example: arguments={} runs explain_llms_txt with {"text":"# Your project\n\n> One paragraph: what this is, who it is for, and what it is no and returns its real answer.
check_markdown_lane
FIRST CALL, needs nothing: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"markdown_lane_self_report","arguments":{}}} — Reads the markdown lane of a URL you name and returns six verdicts with the exact fix for each: /llms.txt, /llms-full.txt, the .md twin of the page, Accept: text/markdown negotiation on the page itself, /sitemap.md, and whether the page ADVERTISES its twin with <link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown"> or the equivalent Link header. Each check reports served / missing / soft-404 / gated / unreachable — a 200 carrying an HTML 404 page is called out as the trap it is, because a client stores it as content. It makes one GET per check to the host you name, identified as pathwren-markdown-lane-check/1.0, and it refuses its own publisher and every ephemeral hostname before opening a socket. Example: arguments={"url":"https://example.com/"} returns the six verdicts for that origin.
explain_llms_txt
FIRST CALL, needs nothing: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"markdown_lane_self_report","arguments":{}}} — Parses an llms.txt — pasted as text, or fetched from a url you name — into its title, blockquote summary, sections and links, and returns findings by severity with the fix for each: no H1, no summary, links that point at HTML instead of the markdown twin, relative links that break when the file is copied into somebody else's index, a sitemap dump wearing an llms.txt name, HTML tags in the body, duplicate targets, and a missing `## Optional` section on a long list. Returns a ready-to-edit skeleton with every answer. Pasted text is parsed in the request and discarded; nothing is stored. Example: arguments={"url":"https://example.com"} fetches https://example.com/llms.txt and critiques it.
