Unbrowse for Debian (debian.org)

Debian as tools for your agent. Unofficial: not affiliated with or endorsed by debian.org. Unbrowse compiled these from debian.org's own requests: each call replays the site's first-party API server-side and returns a verified result. No scraping of rendered pages, no browser on your side, no debian.org API key.

Connect the debian.org MCP

This server is a tool scope holding only debian.org: its compiled tools plus the Unbrowse tools that run them, so the agent's tool list stays small and every call stays on debian.org.

claude mcp add --transport http debian https://unbrowse.ai/mcp/debian.org
codex mcp add debian --url https://unbrowse.ai/mcp/debian.org && codex mcp login debian

{"mcpServers":{"debian":{"url":"https://unbrowse.ai/mcp/debian.org"}}}

The first connect signs in to Unbrowse with OAuth (free tier, only verified results count). For scripts, send Authorization: Bearer $UNBROWSE_API_KEY (key from https://unbrowse.ai/app/keys; keep it in a secret manager, never in config you commit).

If none of the tools below are in this session's tool list, the server is not connected or not signed in: say so and stop. Do not fetch debian.org some other way and present it as this skill's result.

Tools

search_debian_org__get_search — Search search.debian.org

Search search.debian.org with its own search (published OpenSearch description) and read the results page as title, text and links. One first-party HTTP request, no browser. Inputs: query. Returns the page's title, readable text and links. Read-only on search.debian.org.

• query (string, required) — query — what to search for on search.debian.org

{"query":"released"}

debian_org__read_page — Read a page on debian.org

Read any page on debian.org — a path such as /news/2026/some-story, or a full debian.org URL — and get its title, readable text and links. One first-party HTTP request, no browser. Follow a returned link by passing its href back as the path. Inputs: path e.g. "/". Returns the page's title, readable text and links. Read-only on debian.org.

• path (string, required) — A page on debian.org: a path like /about, or a full URL on debian.org

{"path":"/"}

Always there too: unbrowse.run (a task on debian.org in plain words), unbrowse.inspect, unbrowse.resume, unbrowse.scrape and unbrowse.map (any page on debian.org), and the recorded cloud browser unbrowse.browse.open → unbrowse.browse.act → unbrowse.browse.finish. Hosts that reject dotted names show them with _ (unbrowse_run).

How to call

1. Pick the tool whose title matches the job and pass its inputs. Leave the site's recorded parameters out unless the user asked for something they control.
2. Read status. succeeded carries the verified result. input_required is not a failure: answer the open fields with unbrowse.resume {runId, answers} on the same run.
3. No tool fits: unbrowse.run {task}. It fails with no_capability when nothing is compiled for that yet: do it once with unbrowse.browse.open on debian.org → unbrowse.browse.act → unbrowse.browse.finish, which compiles a new tool this server lists next time. Anything off debian.org is refused here (not_in_scope): use the general Unbrowse server for that.
4. Signing in: never ask the user for a password. unbrowse.browse.act with action: "autofill" fills debian.org's login from their Unbrowse password manager.
5. Report only what a succeeded result says. outcome_unknown means a change may have happened: check before retrying. Posting, buying, sending or deleting needs the user's go-ahead.

Without MCP

Every tool is also a REST call:

curl -s https://unbrowse.ai/api/v1/sites/search.debian.org/call/search_debian_org__get_search \
  -H "authorization: Bearer $UNBROWSE_API_KEY" -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"released"}'

OpenAPI: https://unbrowse.ai/api/v1/sites/search.debian.org/openapi.json. Every other site: the general Unbrowse skill (https://github.com/unbrowse-ai/unbrowse) and https://unbrowse.ai/mcp.
