What is MCP Webpage Timestamps?

MCP Webpage Timestamps is a specialized Model Context Protocol server that extracts creation,
modification, and publication timestamps from web pages. It's perfect for content freshness
analysis, temporal web scraping, and understanding the lifecycle of web content.

Why Use This Server?

🎯 Comprehensive Data Sources

Unlike simple scrapers, this server checks multiple sources:
- HTML meta tags (OpenGraph, Dublin Core, custom tags)
- HTTP response headers
- JSON-LD structured data
- Microdata markup
- Heuristic text analysis

🔍 Confidence Scoring

Each extracted timestamp comes with a confidence level:
- High: Found in multiple reliable sources
- Medium: Single reliable source
- Low: Heuristic detection only

⚡ Performance & Reliability

- Configurable timeouts and retry logic
- Batch processing for multiple URLs
- Comprehensive error handling
- TypeScript implementation with full type safety

Available Tools

extract_timestamps

Extract timestamps from a single webpage with detailed source information.

Example:
{
"name": "extract_timestamps",
"arguments": {
"url": "https://example.com/article",
"config": {
"timeout": 10000,
"enableHeuristics": true
}
}
}

batch_extract_timestamps

Process multiple URLs simultaneously for efficient bulk analysis.

Example:
{
"name": "batch_extract_timestamps",
"arguments": {
"urls": [
"https://example.com/article1",
"https://example.com/article2"
]
}
}

Use Cases

- Content Freshness Analysis: Evaluate how recent web content is
- SEO Research: Analyze publication patterns and content updates
- Web Scraping: Add temporal context to scraped data
- Academic Research: Study temporal aspects of web content
- Content Management: Track content lifecycle and updates
