Content Core incluye un servidor del Protocolo de Contexto de Modelo (MCP) para su uso con Claude Desktop y otras aplicaciones compatibles con MCP.
Añada a su claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"content-core": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["content-core", "mcp"],
"env": {
"OPENAI_API_KEY": "sk-..."
}
}
}
}El servidor MCP expone dos herramientas: extract_content y summarize_content. Ambas devuelven texto plano.
Para una configuración detallada, consulte la documentación de MCP.

Available Tools
2 toolsextract_contentExtract ContentA
Extract content from a URL or file. Does not require an API key for most sources (web pages, PDFs, documents, YouTube transcripts). API key is only needed for audio/video transcription.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | No | URL to extract content from (web page, YouTube video, PDF link, etc.) | |
| engine | No | Optional extraction engine override, routed by input type. With `url`: auto, simple, firecrawl, jina, crawl4ai. With `file_path`: auto, simple, docling — `docling` requires `pip install "content-core[docling]"` and fails with a configuration error when the extra is missing, in which case use `auto` or `simple`. Any other value is rejected with an error naming the accepted ones. | |
| no_ocr | No | Disable OCR in Docling (requires engine=docling) | |
| formulas | No | Enable formula extraction via Docling (requires engine=docling) | |
| pictures | No | Enable image description + chart data extraction via Docling (requires engine=docling) | |
| file_path | No | Local file path to extract content from |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden; it usefully discloses the auth profile (no key needed for most sources, key needed for audio/video). It is silent on other behaviors: what happens if neither url nor file_path is supplied (0 required params), and whether unsupported sources error or degrade.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two tight sentences, front-loaded with the core action, and the auth caveat placed immediately after. No filler or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
An output schema exists, so return values need not be described, and the auth context is a genuine addition. Still missing is guidance on the unusual 0-required-parameter shape (must one of url/file_path be given?) and any routing versus the sibling tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents engine routing, docling requirements, and the flag semantics in detail. The description adds only a loose mapping of source types, so the baseline 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb ('Extract') and resource ('content from a URL or file') plus the supported source types. It does not explicitly differentiate itself from the sibling summarize_content, so an agent must infer that this returns raw content rather than a summary.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Gives conditional guidance about when an API key is required (audio/video transcription only), which is useful. However, it never says when to choose this over summarize_content, nor does it explain the url-vs-file_path choice, leaving usage largely implied.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
summarize_contentSummarize ContentB
Summarize content using LLM with optional context. Requires OPENAI_API_KEY (or another LLM provider key) to be configured.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| content | Yes | The text content to summarize | |
| context | No | Optional context to guide summarization (e.g., "summarize as bullet points") |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It usefully discloses a real prerequisite — an LLM provider key such as OPENAI_API_KEY must be configured — which is not in the schema. However it says nothing about cost, latency, or truncation behavior on long input, leaving gaps for a tool that calls an external LLM.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two compact sentences with no filler, and the core purpose is front-loaded ahead of the setup requirement. Slightly terse, but every sentence earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Output schema exists so return values need no explanation, and both parameters are schema-documented, making the definition largely adequate for a simple tool. The gaps are the absence of any routing guidance versus extract_content and the lack of cost/latency context for an external LLM call.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so both parameters are already fully documented, and the description adds nothing beyond restating that context is optional. Baseline 3 applies when the schema does the heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb and resource ('summarize content') plus the mechanism ('using LLM'), which distinguishes it from the sibling extract_content at a high level. It does not explicitly name or contrast with that sibling, so it falls short of a 5.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to choose this tool over extract_content, nor any exclusions or preconditions for use beyond the API-key note. The reader must infer that summarizing is the use case from the name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

extract_content
TDQS
Scored across 2 tools
The two tools target clearly distinct actions: extract_content pulls raw content from a source, while summarize_content condenses it via an LLM. An agent can easily tell which to call based on whether it needs raw text or a summary.
Both names follow the same verb_noun snake_case pattern (extract_content, summarize_content), with no deviations in convention or style.
Two tools is on the thin side for even a focused server, though each earns its place in a natural extract-then-summarize pipeline. A couple of supporting operations (e.g. format conversion or output saving) would round out the surface.
The extract and summarize pair covers the core content-processing lifecycle, including multiple input sources (URLs, PDFs, YouTube). Minor gaps exist around batch processing, output formatting, or chunking, but agents can work around these.
