Webcrawl MCP Overview

The andyliszewski/webcrawl-mcp MCP server exposes local web scraping, DuckDuckGo search, same-domain URL discovery, and breadth-first crawling through MCP tools. Static pages are fetched with HTTP and processed locally using Trafilatura, with Markdownify available when the primary extraction is weak. An optional Firecrawl API fallback handles low-quality or JavaScript-heavy pages when a key is configured. Use it for research, documentation lookup, and public-site crawling when local extraction is preferred.
