README

Diffbot MCP Server

Web knowledge fetching tools for your agent.

One click adds the hosted server and signs you in with a Diffbot account, no token to paste. For the local uvx diffbot-mcp server instead: Cursor · VS Code.

What is Diffbot? Diffbot is an applied AI lab building models that structure all of human knowledge. Our commercial product suite make it possible to fetch and structure knowledge at the scale of the entire public web.

This is the MCP counterpart to diffbot-skills without requiring bash access.

Tools

Web

🧬 extract

Web fetch tool alternative. Conventional fetch tools return either 500k+ tokens of HTML or a markdown approximation of the page's content. Extract classifies the page it is fetching and extracts content into a meaningful and consistent JSON schema. Responses are optimized for minimal token usage while maintaining data fidelity. Learn more..

🔎 search_web

Web search tool that ranks accuracy, not popularity. Built on Diffbot's independent web index. Ranking model heavily favors primary sources over secondary sources (e.g. press release > news piece on said press release). Returns markdown formatted content chunks for source citation, with num_results and max_tokens controls. Learn more.

Also includes a page cache reader. Query url:<URL> and it returns Diffbot's already-parsed copy of that page from the index in a fraction of the time for live fetch. Use it for full content from reference prose (docs, articles, papers) and reach for extract when the page's current state matters.

🕷️ crawl

Find all links on a web page (the seed) and extract them all. A classic web crawl without the need for scraping rules. Crawls run as background jobs and can be polled for status. Crawl automatically classifies and structures pages in a standard ontology for easy querying. Use crawl to archive documentation, take snapshots of web projects, or site mapping. Learn More.

🧠 resolve_entities

Recognize and resolve entities in text. Uses Diffbot NLP to recognize organizations, people, places, addresses, and other proper nouns in text. Entities are resolved to entity IDs in the Diffbot Knowledge Graph, and the response includes a ready-made dql_filter (id:or(...)) to fetch their full records with dql. Use to keep AI hallucinations in check and explore deep research opportunities. Learn more.
