Anlyon alternative
1 of these tools change something. Run those as governed actions.
Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.
Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.

Changes things 1Claude Code: ask
backlinksHow many other domains link to a domain, and the strongest referrers, from the Common Crawl domain web graph.Reads text others writeNo findings
Why it is in this group
- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe description's first sentence says "crawl": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
Description, as the server wrote it How many other domains link to a domain, and the strongest referrers, from the Common Crawl domain web graph. Covers domains with 100 or more referring domains under .eu, EU and UK country domains, plus the 5,000 most-linked sites; says plainly when a domain is not in the data.

check_ai_crawler_accessRead a site's robots.txt and test the server for GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Bingbot and Googlebot.Reads private dataReads text others writeNo findings
Why it is in this group
- The description's first verb is "read": a word for reading.
What it can reach
- private-dataThe description's first sentence says "read" and "chat": it reads messages.
- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- untrusted-inputThe description's first sentence says "read" and "chat": it reads messages, which other people can write.
Description, as the server wrote it Read a site's robots.txt and test the server for GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Bingbot and Googlebot. Returns, per crawler, whether robots.txt allows it and whether the server answers it, so you can see who is blocked and by what.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true
- title: AI crawler access
check_llms_txtFetch /llms.txt of a site and report whether it exists, whether its links work, and whether /llms-full.txt exists.Reads text others writeNo findings
Why it is in this group
- The description's first verb is "fetch": a word for reading.
What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
Description, as the server wrote it Fetch /llms.txt of a site and report whether it exists, whether its links work, and whether /llms-full.txt exists. When there is none, the full report holds a draft built from the site's own pages.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true
- title: llms.txt check

Why it is in this group
- The description's first verb is "fetch": a word for reading.
What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- untrusted-inputThe description's first sentence says "fetch" and "web": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
- untrusted-inputThe input takes a URL (input.url), and the tool reads it: it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
- outboundThe input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
Claude Code: ask, because it is tagged outbound.
Description, as the server wrote it Fetch one public web page as CitedBot (robots.txt respected) and return what is wrong with it for AI answers and search: title, description, headings, structured data, canonical, language, links and more. Each finding has why it matters and the exact fix. Deterministic checks only; says so when the page cannot be fetched.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
Exfil surface
Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.
4 paths in this server alone from private data, through text someone else wrote, to a way out. Denying 1 outbound tool breaks every one.
- Reads private data1
- Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
- Reads text others write4
- Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
- Can send data out1
- Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.

"permissions": {
"deny": [
"mcp__citedby__check_page"
]
}
}Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.
Findings
Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.
No check matched anything in these tool definitions. That is not a safety guarantee.
History
Changes to its tool definitions and to its remote endpoint, newest first.
No change seen yet. Its tools are rescanned every day, and a remote endpoint is looked at once a week.
Install
Pinned to version 1.0.0. Values in angle brackets are yours to fill in.

Claude Code permissions
Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.
{
"permissions": {
"allow": [
"mcp__citedby__check_ai_crawler_access",
"mcp__citedby__check_llms_txt"
],
"ask": [
"mcp__citedby__check_page",
"mcp__citedby__backlinks"
],
"deny": []
}
}Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as citedby. Review it before you use it.

Pin
Keep the decision: fail CI when the tools change, follow every change, or show a badge.
