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
