MCP Web Tools Server

MCP Web Tools Server (Node.js)

⭐ If you find this useful, please consider giving it a star!

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for LM Studio that provides tools for internet connectivity:

search_web: searches the web and returns titles and URLs
fetch_url: performs HTTP GET and returns content-type and body (limited)
extract_readable: extracts the main readable content from a page

Requirements

Node.js 18+

Installation

npm install

Execution (stdio mode)

npm start

The server uses stdio (required for integration with LM Studio via MCP).

Environment variables (optional)

SERPAPI_KEY: if provided, the search_web tool will use SerpAPI (Google). Otherwise, leave the field empty to use DuckDuckGo (HTML) without a key.

LM Studio Configuration

Add a custom MCP server pointing to this project's command. In LM Studio, go to Program → Install → Edit mcp.json, and paste the json below:

{ "mcpServers": { "mcp-web-tools-server": { "command": "npm", "args": [ "run", "start", "--silent" ], "cwd": "C:/mcp-web-tools", "env": { "SERPAPI_KEY": "" } } } }

In "cwd" put the project Path

Available tools

search_web:
- input: { "query": string, "limit?": number (1..10) }
- output: text with numbered list (title and URL)
fetch_url:
- input: { "url": string, "maxBytes?": number (up to 8MB) }
- output: two text blocks: metadata (contentType/bytes) and truncated body

- output: text with title, byline, summary and main content

Notes

Very large responses are truncated (16MB by default) to avoid exceeding client limits.
search_web without a key uses DuckDuckGo HTML; results may vary and are subject to site changes.
