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, JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio. No pip packages, no node_modules.

Install

pip install scrapiq-mcp-server

Requires a running Scrapiq instance (see Scrapiq README — one Docker command). Point the server at it:

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

Related MCP server: interdeep

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.

Test the server

printf '%s\n' \

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full disclosure burden. It goes beyond a bare verb by naming what gets stripped (boilerplate, navigation, ads, scripts) and what gets returned (title, content, links, metadata). It doesn't mention potential JS-rendering or rate-limit issues, but the core behavior is well disclosed.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two dense sentences front-load the purpose, then give concrete behavioral details about stripping and output. Every sentence earns its place with no filler or repetition.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description names the exact return fields, making up for the lack of an output schema. With only three simple parameters and no nested objects, this is sufficient for an agent to call the tool correctly. Minor edge cases like network failures or API authentication are not covered, but those are not essential here.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so all three parameters (url, format, max_chars) are already documented. The description adds context about the overall curation behavior but not new parameter-level meaning, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb ('Extract') and resource ('a web page'), and clearly states the purpose: producing clean, structured content for LLM/RAG pipelines. Even with no siblings to distinguish from, the transformation intent is unambiguous.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description establishes a clear use context by targeting LLM/RAG pipelines, signaling where this extraction tool fits. There are no sibling tools to contrast with, so the lack of explicit exclusions is acceptable.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A4.2/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Only one tool exists, so there is no possibility of confusion or overlap. The tool's purpose is clearly described.

Naming Consistency5/5

With a single tool, there is no pattern to contradict. The name 'scrapiq_extract' follows a predictable brand + verb format.

Tool Count3/5

A single tool feels thin for a server branded as 'Scrapiq'. While it can perform the core extraction task, the count is borderline and could benefit from additional operations like batch extraction.

Completeness4/5

The one tool adequately covers the primary function of extracting and cleaning web content. Minor gaps exist, such as no support for batch URLs or custom extraction rules, but there are no dead ends for the stated purpose.
