Web Scraping via MCP

Use this skill to extract clean, readable content from any URL. Returns markdown text, links, and metadata. Free alternative to Firecrawl.

Available 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 content
scrape_multiple Batch scrape multiple URLs, get title + excerpt per URL

Workflow

  1. scrape_url for reading a single page (docs, blog post, article)
  2. extract_links to discover linked resources from a page
  3. extract_metadata for SEO analysis or link preview data
  4. scrape_multiple to survey multiple pages at once

Key Patterns

  • Uses Mozilla Readability (Firefox Reader View engine) — works best with server-rendered content
  • Does NOT handle JavaScript-heavy SPAs (React apps, dashboards) — use a browser MCP for those
  • scrape_multiple returns title + excerpt per URL, not full content — use for surveying
  • search_page searches within the extracted content, not raw HTML

Limitations

  • No headless browser — won't execute JavaScript
  • Best for: documentation, blogs, articles, news, wikis
  • Won't work for: login-gated content, SPAs, dynamically loaded content
