SitemapKit
Use the SitemapKit MCP tools to discover and extract URLs from any website's sitemaps.
Tools available
- discover_sitemaps — finds all sitemap files for a domain (checks robots.txt, common paths, sitemap indexes). Use this first when you just want to know what sitemaps exist.
- extract_sitemap — fetches all URLs from a specific sitemap URL. Use when the user gives you a direct sitemap URL.
- full_crawl — discovers all sitemaps for a domain and returns every URL across all of them in one call. Use this when the user wants the complete list of pages on a site.
When to use which tool

| "find sitemaps for X" / "does X have a sitemap?" | discover_sitemaps |
| "extract URLs from X/sitemap.xml" | extract_sitemap |
| "get all pages on X" / "crawl X" / "list all URLs on X" | full_crawl |
