WebReaper.Mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server satellite for WebReaper.

The agent client (Cursor / Claude Desktop / Copilot Studio) spawns this binary and communicates over stdio. Three tools:

  • scrape: fetch a URL and return its main content as LLM-ready Markdown.
  • map: discover URLs on a site via sitemap.xml + root-page links.
  • extract: extract structured fields from a URL using a JSON schema.

The CLI (ADR-0043) is the primary agent surface; this MCP satellite is the interop adapter for clients that speak MCP only.

Install

dotnet tool install --global WebReaper.Mcp

Or build from source:

dotnet build WebReaper.Mcp/WebReaper.Mcp.csproj -c Release

Configure your MCP client

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webreaper": {
      "command": "dotnet",
      "args": ["WebReaper.Mcp.dll"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webreaper": {
      "command": "WebReaper.Mcp",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

(Adjust the command to the absolute path of the installed binary.)

Browser mode (browser=true)

The scrape and extract tools accept a browser boolean parameter. Setting it true switches the page loader to a headless browser for JS-rendered pages. The MCP server auto-spawns a system Chrome / Chromium / Edge via WebReaper.Cdp (ADR-0073, mirroring the CLI's ADR-0055 policy).

Install a Chromium-family browser on the MCP host first:

  • macOS: brew install --cask google-chrome or brew install chromium.
  • Linux: distribution package or apt install chromium-browser.
  • Windows: Chrome / Edge ship preinstalled or via winget.

The launcher searches PATH and platform-conventional install locations (/Applications/Google Chrome.app, C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome, etc.) for google-chrome, chromium, chrome, microsoft-edge, msedge. Calls that need a browser when none is found fail with an actionable error message.

Each MCP tool invocation spawns and tears down its own browser process (per-call lifecycle). A Chromium instance is ~200 MB resident; if the MCP server accepts calls from untrusted clients, run it under appropriate process / memory limits (ulimit, systemd MemoryMax=, container memory caps) so a flurry of browser=true calls cannot exhaust host memory. Long-running stealth scenarios should use the WebReaper CLI directly; the MCP satellite stays thin and stateless.

Why prefer the CLI / Skill over MCP?

Per the WebReaper repositioning plan, the CLI is ~35× cheaper than MCP per token (no tool-schema payload, no JSON-RPC wrapping). For agents that can run shell commands (Claude Code, etc.), prefer webreaper init (the agent skill) over wiring MCP.

WebReaper.Mcp.AspNetCore

Streamable HTTP MCP (Model Context Protocol) server host for WebReaper. Exposes scrape / map / extract / extract_with_prompt / crawl as MCP tools over HTTP, so URL-based MCP clients (n8n, hosted agents) can reach WebReaper. Sibling to the stdio WebReaper.Mcp satellite, reusing its tools. Self-run, single-tenant, bearer-token auth. ADR-0086.

10.1.0 (minor): browser mode wired (ADR-0073). The scrape and extract tools' browser=true parameter now works: the satellite bakes WebReaper.Cdp and launches a system Chrome / Chromium / Edge for JS-rendered pages (previously the parameter was structurally unwired and failed on the first dynamic load). 10.0.1: NuGet metadata polish. Adds PackageIcon + PackageReadmeFile so the package displays a logo and README on its NuGet page. Removes em-dashes from Description and release notes. No code changes. 10.0.0: initial release. MCP (Model Context Protocol) server satellite (ADR-0049) exposing scrape / map / extract as MCP tools over stdio for Cursor, ChatGPT Desktop, Copilot Studio and other MCP-only agent frameworks that can't reach the WebReaper CLI. Built over the ModelContextProtocol C# SDK; thin facade over the existing library API. Interop adapter; the primary agent surface remains WebReaper.Cli (ADR-0043). New satellite package per ADR-0009: the heavy MCP SDK deps stay quarantined off the dependency-light, Native-AOT-clean core. Requires WebReaper 10.0.0.
