Haunt API MCP Server

Legacy directory listing note

This repository is kept public because older MCP directories, including Glama, may still index it. For new installs, use the current public NPM package @hauntapi/mcp-server, the one-command CLI, or the hosted MCP endpoint.

Canonical repo: https://github.com/Darko893/mcp-server

Haunt gives Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible agents a clean web extraction tool: public URL → structured JSON or markdown instead of raw HTML.

Free tier

Get a free API key at hauntapi.com.

Free tier: 1,000 credits/month, no credit card needed.

Credits are not one-to-one requests. Simple public/non-LLM output usually uses 1 credit, normal structured extraction 2, browser-rendered extraction 4, and heavier extraction 8. Failed, blocked, login/CAPTCHA, provider, and server failures do not burn credits.

Capability boundaries

Haunt does not promise universal extraction, CAPTCHA solving, login-wall access, paywall access, restricted-page access, or bot-challenge circumvention.

It works best on permitted public pages and supported rendered pages. When a page is blocked, login-required, CAPTCHA-gated, paywalled, restricted, or too thin to verify, Haunt returns a clear failure signal instead of fabricated data.

Tools

try_demo_extract

No-key activation check. Use this first to verify the MCP connection and see Haunt's demo/docs/signup links without using credits.

extract

Extract structured data from a permitted public web page. Provide a URL and a plain-English prompt describing the fields you want.

Example prompt:

Extract the product name, price, availability, and review count from https://example.com/product

The current package may also expose helper aliases such as extract_url, extract_article, and extract_metadata for client compatibility.
