Overview

AI-generated overview

Apify-hosted MCP tool that checks every URL in a site's XML sitemap for 404s, redirects, HTTPS downgrades and noindex headers.

What you can do
  • Find a site's sitemap from a domain via robots.txt or /sitemap.xml, or take direct sitemap, sitemap-index, .xml.gz or plain-text list URLs.
  • Request each listed URL and report status, redirects, redirect chains, final URL and flags.
  • Flag problems such as 404/4xx/5xx, too many redirects, https-to-http downgrades and X-Robots-Tag noindex.
  • Return one dataset item per URL plus a SUMMARY record with counts of found, checked, billed, problem, robots-blocked and errored URLs.
When to use it
Useful after a site migration, domain change or bulk content edit, when you want to confirm that sitemap URLs still resolve and are indexable. Also handy for periodic SEO hygiene checks on sites you are permitted to test.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint at Apify's hosted server, with the tools parameter selecting this Actor. Needs your own Apify account and API token, sent as an Authorization Bearer header, or OAuth sign-in where supported. A local npx fallback uses the APIFY_TOKEN environment variable. Non-demo runs require confirmPermission set to true.
Before you install
Runs are billed to your Apify account at $0.0005 per URL checked plus Apify platform usage; URLs filtered out by onlyProblems are still billed. The listing author maintains the Actor and earns its fees, and the endpoint is run by Apify, not the author. Only sitemap-listed URLs are checked, not links inside pages. You must have permission to check the target site.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Sitemap URL Health Checker (via Apify MCP) in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.lineagersiui-boop%2Fsitemap-url-health-checker/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

README

Sitemap URL Health Checker: MCP server (via Apify)

Check every URL listed in a website's XML sitemap for 404s, server errors, redirects, redirect chains, https-to-http downgrades and X-Robots-Tag: noindex headers, from any MCP client.

Disclosure: we built and maintain the Apify Actor lineagersiui/sitemap-url-health-checker and earn its pay-per-event fees. This listing is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apify or the Model Context Protocol project. The MCP endpoint is Apify's hosted MCP server (mcp.apify.com), run by Apify, not by us. This listing only preselects our Actor as the single tool. Drafted with AI tools under the author's direction.

Registry name: io.github.lineagersiui-boop/sitemap-url-health-checker

What it does

  • Finds the sitemap from a site address (via robots.txt or /sitemap.xml), or takes direct sitemap, sitemap-index, .xml.gz or plain-text list URLs.
  • Requests each listed URL and reports its status, redirects, final URL and flags.
  • Checks only URLs listed in the sitemap. It does not crawl links inside pages.

Requirements

  • Your own Apify account and API token. Get the token in Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations. Runs are billed to your Apify account, not ours.
  • Permission to check the site. The Actor refuses non-demo runs unless confirmPermission is true.

Pricing

  • $0.0005 per URL checked (one event per URL that returns an HTTP status). 1,000 URLs cost $0.50, plus Apify platform usage.
  • Not billed: URLs skipped by robots.txt, timeouts and network errors.
  • Free demo: run with empty input to check 20 URLs of apify.com, not billed.

Connect

Endpoint (Streamable HTTP):

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=lineagersiui/sitemap-url-health-checker

The tools parameter makes Apify's server load only this Actor. Without it, Apify's server loads its default tool set instead.

Bearer token (most clients):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "sitemap-url-health-checker": {      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=lineagersiui/sitemap-url-health-checker",      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" }    }  }}

Apify's server also supports OAuth sign-in, without a token in the config, for clients that support it. See Apify's MCP documentation.

Local stdio, for clients without remote support. This runs Apify's own open-source package, not ours:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "sitemap-url-health-checker": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@apify/actors-mcp-server", "--tools", "lineagersiui/sitemap-url-health-checker"],      "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" }    }  }}
