Analyze text readability (Flesch, SMOG, ARI, grade level) via mcp-readability (npx) — one tool, pure in-process
intentScore any text for reading difficulty — compute Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, SMOG Index, and Automated Readability Index, infer school grade level and target audience, count words/sentences/syllables, and suggest improvements (long sentences, complex words) —constraints

Recipe: Analyze text readability via mcp-readability
Install & launch:
npm install mcp-readability
# Entry: node_modules/mcp-readability/dist/index.jsMCP handshake: stdio transport, Node.js SDK client → initialize → tools/list → tools/call
Tool: analyze_readability
text(string, required): the text to score (min ~2 sentences for reliable output)include_suggestions(boolean, default true): returns improvement tips (long sentences >25 words, complex words >4 syllables, passive voice)
What you get back:
- 4 numeric scores: Flesch Reading Ease (0–100, higher = easier), Flesch-Kincaid Grade, SMOG Index, ARI
- Inferred reading level: Elementary / Middle School / High School / College / Graduate
- Audience label
- Text stats: wordcount, sentencecount, syllablecount, avgwordspersentence, avgsyllablesper_word
- Suggestions array (when enabled)
- One-line summary
Latency: sub-50ms (pure in-process JS, no network calls)
Use cases: pre-publish content review, documentation accessibility checks, marketing copy targeting, A/B test readability comparison, legal-to-plain-language conversion verification.
