Summary
Connects Claude to Lyrenth's web reading API, giving you three tools: read_url for converting a single public page into clean Markdown with structure metadata, read_urls for batching up to 20 URLs at once, and check_usage for monitoring your monthly credit balance. Each read strips out navigation and boilerplate, returning just the content in a stable AIDocument format that shows token savings versus raw HTML. Lyrenth caches reads across all callers and serves canonical versions for verified domains. Grab a free API key for 2,000 reads per month and drop it into your MCP config with npx.

Read the web through Lyrenth from any MCP client.
Exposes three tools:
read_urlturns a public web page into a clean AIDocument: stable Markdown plus title, description, and structure, with the navigation and boilerplate stripped. Your agent reads cleaned, low-token content instead of raw HTML, and every result shows how many tokens it saved vs the raw page.read_urlsdoes the same for up to 20 URLs in one batch call.check_usagereports your plan tier and credit usage.
Reads resolve through Lyrenth's cross-caller cache, and for verified domains they return the publisher's canonical version.
Setup

Claude Desktop / Cursor
Add to your MCP config (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"lyrenth": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "lyrenth-mcp"],
"env": { "LYRENTH_API_KEY": "aiwk_your_key_here" }
}
}
}
Claude Code
claude mcp add lyrenth -e LYRENTH_API_KEY=aiwk_your_key_here -- npx -y lyrenth-mcp
Then ask your assistant to read a page, for example: "Read
https://example.com/article and summarize it." It will call read_url and get
the cleaned AIDocument back.
Tools
| Tool | Arguments | Returns |
|---|---|---|
read_url | url (string, required), fresh (boolean, optional), max_tokens (integer, optional) | The page as a clean AIDocument: a short provenance header (token count + how much smaller than raw HTML) plus the Markdown body. fresh: true forces a fresh fetch instead of the cached copy; max_tokens caps the body to your context budget, trimmed at a clean paragraph or sentence boundary. |
read_urls | urls (array of 1-20 strings, required), fresh (boolean, optional), max_tokens (integer, optional) | Up to 20 pages in one call, each as a clean AIDocument, with per-URL error isolation (a failed URL is reported and doesn't block the others). Billed one credit per successfully-read URL. |
check_usage | none | Your plan tier, credits used against your monthly limit, credits remaining, and the reset date. |
Configuration
| Env var | Required | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
LYRENTH_API_KEY | yes | none | Free key at https://lyrenth.com/signup |
LYRENTH_API_URL | no | https://api.lyrenth.com | Override for staging or self-host |
Why read through Lyrenth
- Cleaner, cheaper. One stable AIDocument shape per URL; far fewer tokens than raw HTML to a model.
- Cached across callers. The same URL fetched by many agents collapses to a minimal number of origin fetches, so it is fast and origin-friendly.
- Canonical when verified. When a site's owner has verified with Lyrenth, you get the version they authored, kept fresh by their change signal.
