Web Eyes
Provides LLM summarization and vision extraction capabilities via NVIDIA NIM, allowing the MCP server to summarize web content and analyze images using NVIDIA-hosted models.
Provides web search capabilities via SearXNG, enabling the MCP server to perform searches and retrieve results for crawling and summarization.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Web EyesWhat are the latest breakthroughs in fusion energy?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Web Eyes
Search, crawl, and summarize the web — exposed as both a REST API and an MCP server for LLM agents.
Powered by SearXNG, Crawl4AI, and NVIDIA NIM.
What it does
Web Eyes provides a pipeline of web intelligence tools:
Search — query SearXNG for web results
Crawl — extract clean text from URLs using a headless browser
Summarize — distill content via an LLM (NVIDIA NIM)
Ask — full pipeline: search → crawl → synthesize an answer with citations
See — take screenshots and use a vision LLM to extract content from JS-heavy, canvas-rendered, or image-heavy pages
Look — analyze any image directly via vision AI (no URL crawling needed)
These are exposed via a FastAPI REST API and an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, so any MCP-compatible agent (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) can use them directly.
