Questions
What is the Jina AI Reader MCP server?
🔍 Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool for parsing websites using the Jina.ai Reader
What tools does Jina AI Reader expose?
1 in total: 1 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is Jina AI Reader safe to connect to an agent?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.
What credentials does Jina AI Reader need?
It reads JINAAI_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.
How does Jina AI Reader run?
It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as mcp-jinaai-reader at 0.0.4.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (534aeccb16b4), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
