WebLens is an MCP server with 36 tools an agent can call, among them answer_question, batch_fetch, compare_urls. It answers at https://api.weblens.dev/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 10 of 10 times since 5 September 2026; the last check, on 18 October 2026, succeeded.

Does WebLens need an API key?

It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.

Where this comes from
