mcp-server-scraper

Extract clean, readable content from any URL. Returns markdown text, links, and metadata. No API keys, no config. A free alternative to Firecrawl for scraping docs, blogs, and articles.

npx mcp-server-scraper

Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, and any MCP client. No accounts or API keys needed.

_{Demo built with remotion-readme-kit}

Why

When you're working with an AI assistant and need to reference a docs page, a blog post, or an API reference, you usually end up copy-pasting content manually. Tools like Firecrawl solve this but require a paid API key. This server does the same thing for free. It fetches a URL, runs it through Mozilla Readability (the same engine behind Firefox Reader View), and returns clean markdown. It works well for server-rendered content like documentation sites, blog posts, and articles. It won't handle JavaScript-heavy SPAs, but for the most common use case of "read this docs page and summarize it," it does the job.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`scrape_url`	Extract clean text content from a URL (Readability-powered)
`extract_links`	Get all links with href and anchor text
`extract_metadata`	Get title, description, OG tags, canonical, favicon
`search_page`	Search for a query string within the page, return matching lines
`scrape_multiple`	Batch scrape multiple URLs, get title + excerpt per URL

Quick Start

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scraper": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-server-scraper"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scraper": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-server-scraper"]
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to your MCP settings (e.g. .vscode/mcp.json):

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "scraper": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "mcp-server-scraper"]
      }
    }
  }
}

Examples

"Scrape the API docs from https://docs.example.com and summarize them"
"Extract all links from this page"
"What's the OG image and description for this URL?"
"Search this page for mentions of 'authentication'"
"Scrape these 5 URLs and give me a summary of each"

How it works

Uses Mozilla Readability (the engine behind Firefox Reader View) plus linkedom for fast HTML parsing in Node. No headless browser needed. Works best with server-rendered pages: docs, blogs, articles, news sites.
