It proves the server is wired correctly and returns docs, signup, pricing, MCP info, and free-tier links without using credits. ## Live extraction For live pages, require `HAUNT_API_KEY` in the MCP server environment. Use: - `extract_url` or `extract` for structured JSON from a permitted public URL. - `extract_markdown` for readable page text for RAG, notes, docs ingestion, or `.md` files. - `extract_article` for public article pages. - `extract_metadata` for titles, descriptions, Open Graph, Twitter Card, and canonical URL metadata. - `get_usage` after live calls to check plan and remaining credits. ## Boundaries Haunt is for permitted public pages and supported rendered pages, including many that sit behind Cloudflare or a bot wall. It does not promise CAPTCHA solving, login-wall access, paywall access, or restricted-page access. If a page is blocked, login-required, CAPTCHA-gated, paywalled, restricted, or too thin to verify, treat Haunt's clear failure signal as the correct result. Do not fabricate extracted data. ## Good prompt pattern "Use Haunt to extract the product name, price, availability, and review count from this permitted public URL: . Return JSON and tell me if the page was blocked or unverifiable." --- **Source:** [`hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins`](https://github.com/hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins) → `plugins/Darko893/haunt-mcp-server/skills/haunt-web-extraction/SKILL.md`
