MCP Web Scraping

Use webclaw as a local MCP server so Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenCode, Codex CLI, or another MCP client can fetch clean web context.

Install

npx create-webclaw

The installer detects supported MCP clients and can write the config for you.

Manual Config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webclaw": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@webclaw/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "WEBCLAW_API_KEY": "wc_your_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

WEBCLAW_API_KEY is optional for local extraction. Add it when you want cloud fallback for protected sites, JS rendering, hosted search, or hosted research.

Example Prompts

Scrape https://docs.rs/tokio and summarize the parts about task spawning.

Crawl https://docs.example.com up to depth 2 and return the pages most relevant to authentication.

Extract the pricing tiers from https://example.com/pricing as JSON with fields name, price, limits, and features.

The MCP server exposes tools for scrape, crawl, map, batch, extract, summarize, diff, brand, research, search, and vertical extractors.
