This MCP server provides a simple interface to convert web pages to structured, clean Markdown format using the skrape.ai API. It's designed to work seamlessly with Claude Desktop, other LLMs, and MCP-compatible applications.

Why Use Skrape for LLM Integration?

  • Noise Reduction: Automatically removes ads, navigation menus, and other irrelevant content

  • Consistent Format: Ensures web content is uniformly structured regardless of the source

  • JavaScript Support: Handles dynamic content by rendering JavaScript before conversion

  • LLM-Optimized: Perfect for feeding web content into LLMs like Claude, GPT, and other LLM models

Installation

Installing via Smithery

To install Skrape MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @skrapeai/skrape-mcp --client claude

Manual Installation

  1. Get your API key from skrape.ai

  2. Install dependencies:

npm install
  1. Build the server:

npm run build
  1. Add the server config to Claude Desktop:

On MacOS:

nano ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

On Windows:

notepad %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add this configuration (replace paths and API key with your values):

{ "mcpServers": { "skrape": { "command": "node", "args": ["path/to/skrape-mcp/build/index.js"], "env": { "SKRAPE_API_KEY": "your-key-here" }, } } }

Using with LLMs

Here's how to use the server with Claude or other LLM models:

  1. First, ensure the server is properly configured in your LLM application

  2. Then, you can ask the ALLMI to fetch and process any webpage:

Convert this webpage to markdown: https://example.com Claude will use the MCP tool like this: <use_mcp_tool> <server_name>skrape</server_name> <tool_name>get_markdown</tool_name> <arguments> { "url": "https://example.com", "options": { "renderJs": true } } </arguments> </use_mcp_tool>

The resulting Markdown will be clean, structured, and ready for LLM processing.

Advanced Options

The get_markdown tool accepts these parameters:

  • url (required): Any webpage URL to convert

  • returnJson (optional): Set to true to get the full JSON response instead of just markdown

  • options (optional): Additional scraping options

    • renderJs: Whether to render JavaScript before scraping (default: true)

Example with all options:

<use_mcp_tool> <server_name>skrape</server_name> <tool_name>get_markdown</tool_name> <arguments> { "url": "https://example.com", "returnJson": true, "options": { "renderJs": false } } </arguments> </use_mcp_tool>

Development

For development with auto-rebuild:

npm run watch

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
