The us/crw MCP server gives AI agents web search and extraction tools backed by fastCRW, a self-hostable Rust service. It can scrape individual URLs, discover site URLs, run asynchronous crawls, extract structured JSON with an LLM, and parse local PDFs into markdown. Use it when an agent needs repeatable web content retrieval locally or through the managed fastcrw.com service. Local deployments run without an account, while the managed API uses an API key and hosted MCP access uses OAuth.
