Basic Website Visiting Plugin for LM Studio

An LM Studio plugin with two tools:

• Visit Website - Allows the assistant to view the links, image URLs and text content of a given webpage.
• View Images - Allows the assistant to download and display images from a list of image URLs.

Upgrades

What changes/upgrades from the base original?

• Refactor — Few refactors to existing codebase for a more reliability.
• DNS — Overrides the system resolver with Cloudflare (1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1) and Google (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) at startup, eliminating flaky ISP/router-caused ENOTFOUND errors.
• Retry logic — fetchHTML retries up to 3 times with a 500ms delay on transient network failures.
• Timeouts — Page fetches timeout after 15s, individual image downloads after 10s, both using AbortSignal.any so user cancellation still works.
• TLS fallback — When fetch rejects a misconfigured certificate, automatically retries via raw node:https with rejectUnauthorized: false. Forces Accept-Encoding: identity on that path (raw Node doesn't decompress automatically) and manually follows redirects up to 5 deep.
• Image fallback — Image download failures no longer crash the tool; page content and links are still returned.
• Readability — Replaced naive tag-stripping with Mozilla Readability + JSDOM, the same engine as Firefox Reader Mode. Discards navbars, footers, and boilerplate; returns only the main content. Falls back to tag-stripping if Readability finds nothing.
• DOM-based extraction — Links and images are now extracted via querySelectorAll on the already-parsed JSDOM tree instead of regex on raw HTML. Handles single-quoted attributes, relative URLs, and lazy-load image attributes (data-src, data-lazy-src, etc.).
• User agents — Replaced entries from 2020–2022 with current Chrome 133/134, Firefox 134/135, Safari 18.3, and modern mobile strings.
• Dependencies — Added @mozilla/readability ^0.6.0 and jsdom ^29.0.1. Upgraded zod & @lmstudio/sdk version.

Installation

The plugin is available for download on the LM Studio Hub
