Security Report

5.3
Moderate5.3Moderate Risk

pageport is a small, clean HTTP fetch and HTML-to-text MCP server with no credentials, no shell execution, and network access that matches its stated purpose. The main concerns are low-severity: the fetch tool accepts any URL, including internal or localhost addresses (SSRF-style exposure), and fetched content is returned to the model without any prompt-injection mitigation. Supply chain analysis found 4 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 2 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

From the project's GitHub README.

pageport

Fetch a web page and read it as text. pageport retrieves a URL over HTTP, turns HTML pages into clean markdown-style text you can scan or quote, and hands non-HTML responses back exactly as they arrive. Long pages are not a problem: ask for a window of characters, then page forward through the rest with an offset.

What it does

  • Sends a normal browser-style request and follows redirects.
  • Converts HTML to readable markdown-style output: headings keep their levels, links keep their targets, lists stay lists, and script or style content is dropped instead of polluting the text.
  • Returns the untouched document when you ask for raw output, and returns plain-text or other non-HTML bodies unchanged.
  • Slices long results: choose where reading starts and how many characters come back. When a result is cut short, the output says so and tells you the offset to use for the next chunk.
  • Reports failures plainly: an unreachable host or an error status comes back as an error result with the reason, never as empty success.

CLI

npx @reneturcios/pageport fetch https://example.com
npx @reneturcios/pageport fetch https://example.com --max-length 2000
npx @reneturcios/pageport fetch https://example.com --start-index 2000 --max-length 2000
npx @reneturcios/pageport fetch https://example.com --raw
npx @reneturcios/pageport --version

Exit codes: 0 on success, 1 on a fetch error, 2 on a usage error.

MCP server

The same binary runs as a stdio MCP server:

npx -y @reneturcios/pageport mcp

MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pageport": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@reneturcios/pageport", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Tool: fetch

Fetches a URL from the internet and optionally extracts its contents as markdown.

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultMeaning
urlstringyes—URL to fetch
max_lengthintegerno5000Maximum number of characters to return
start_indexintegerno0Start index for content
rawbooleannofalseReturn raw HTML instead of markdown conversion

Docker

docker run -i ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/pageport
docker run --rm ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/pageport fetch https://example.com

The container defaults to the mcp subcommand, so a plain docker run -i is a working stdio MCP server.

Development

npm install
npm run build
npm test
npm run dev

Tests cover the HTML conversion, the slicing and truncation behaviour, and the fetch flow against injected responses — no network is needed.
