Scrapiq MCP Server

MCP server for Scrapiq — turn any URL into clean text, markdown, or JSON for LLM/RAG pipelines, directly from your MCP client.

Scrapiq is a lightweight open-source HTTP API that fetches a web page and returns clean content — boilerplate stripped. This server exposes it as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool so Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP client can extract clean web content with one call.

Dependency-free: pure Python stdlib, no pip packages, no node_modules. Two transports: stdio for local clients, streamable HTTP for remote clients.

Use the hosted server (no install)

The server is listed in the official MCP Registry as io.scrapiq/scrapiq and runs at:

https://scrapiq.io/mcp

No key, no install — add that URL as a remote MCP server in any client that supports streamable HTTP:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapiq": { "url": "https://scrapiq.io/mcp" }
  }
}

Install locally

Not on PyPI yet, so install straight from this repo:

# run it without installing anything (run against `main`, 2026-09-17)
uvx --from git+https://github.com/NG-PR0JECT/scrapiq-mcp-server scrapiq-mcp

# or install it into an isolated environment
pipx install git+https://github.com/NG-PR0JECT/scrapiq-mcp-server

Requires a running Scrapiq instance (see Scrapiq README — git clone, pip install -e ".[dev]", then scrapiq). Point the server at it:

SCRAPIQ_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:8001/v1/extract scrapiq-mcp

Run your own HTTP endpoint

scrapiq-mcp --http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8002   # serves POST /mcp

Stateless: one POST /mcp per JSON-RPC message (or batch), replies with application/json. It issues no Mcp-Session-Id and offers no server→client SSE stream, so GET /mcp answers 405 by design. CORS is open, so browser-based clients (e.g. MCP Inspector) can call it directly.

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapiq": {
      "command": "scrapiq-mcp",
      "env": { "SCRAPIQ_ENDPOINT": "http://localhost:8001/v1/extract" }
    }
  }
}

Tool

scrapiq_extract

Extract a web page into clean structured content.

Arguments:

• url (string, required) — the URL to extract
• format (string, optional) — "markdown" (default) | "text" | "json"
• max_chars (integer, optional) — truncate content to N chars

Example:

scrapiq_extract(url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrieval-augmented_generation", format="markdown")

Returns title, content, links, and metadata — no ads, no nav, no scripts.
