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

Agent task: "Is this blog post too complex for a general audience?" — needs readability metrics before publishing content, documentation, or marketing copy.

Recipe: Analyze text readability via mcp-readability

Install & launch:

npm install mcp-readability
# Entry: node_modules/mcp-readability/dist/index.js

MCP handshake: stdio transport, Node.js SDK client → initializetools/listtools/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.
