Internet Shortcuts To Csv MCP tool

MCP findutils:internet_shortcuts_to_csv

Turn Windows Internet Shortcut files (.url) into a CSV or a plain list of URLs. Pass each file as { name, content } with the file name and its text. The URL, WorkingDirectory and IconFile keys are read from the [InternetShortcut] section, case-insensitively, with CRLF line endings and a byte order mark tolerated; the name column is the file name without folders or .url. A file without that section or without a URL line, and any binary .lnk shortcut, is listed in skipped with the reason instead of failing the batch. CSV columns: name, url, working_directory, icon_file, quoted where a value holds a comma, quote or line break. format "txt" writes one URL per line. The URLs are copied as written and never fetched; non-web schemes such as file: or javascript: are kept and reported in warnings.
