FrameFetch MCP server
Which MCP servers are FrameFetch's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

- Addresshttps://framefetch.net/mcpnot in the official registry: answered when asked
No entry in the official MCP registry names this server. It answered on framefetch.net when the Atlas asked at the address servers are usually mounted on, so it is the vendor's own. Clients and catalogues that list servers from the registry do not show it.

Worth a look
None of the five warning signs in these definitions.
A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →
framefetch_extractExtract data from ONE public social-video URL (YouTube incl. Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, Pinterest, Reddit): metadata/insights/transcript/frames/digest/comments/etc — see `fields`. When NOT to use: non-video pages…

framefetch_searchSearch YouTube by keyword (yt-dlp, no login). Returns up to `limit` hits: url/title/uploader/durationSec/uploadDate(often null)/thumbnail/views. YouTube only — use framefetch_extract on a hit's url for transcript/frames/etc. Billed…
framefetch_accountCheck this account's credit balance/usage. Read-only — never charges; works at zero balance (unlike framefetch_extract). Purpose: check balance before expensive framefetch_extract calls — at session start, periodically, or after a 402…

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
