Scrape Le Overview

scrape-le MCP server lets AI agents evaluate robots.txt content against a requested path through the `analyze_robots_txt` tool. It accepts the file contents directly, selects the named user-agent group when available, and otherwise evaluates `User-agent: *` rules. Results include crawl permission, the group used, crawl delay, disallowed patterns, and sitemaps. Reach for it when an agent needs to check robots.txt semantics without giving the server filesystem or network access.

Primary Use Cases for Scrape Le:
  • Check whether a crawler may access a path
  • Compare robots.txt rules for different user agents
  • Extract crawl delays and sitemap locations
  • Validate robots.txt behavior in an agent workflow
