A failure counts as down time only when a second check five minutes later fails too. How we check

Connect to the publisher's own endpoint

Run in a terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http link-preview-api https://link-preview-api-z4nf.onrender.com/mcp
For agents: the install prompt

Every step above as one Markdown text, for an assistant installing it for you.

# Install the MCP server Link Preview API (`io.github.cmondillo/link-preview-api`)

Its page: https://plug.directory/servers/io.github.cmondillo/link-preview-api
