mcp-universal-crawler

MCP server that exposes Futurepedia crawling logic as tools for assistants.

What it does

• Fetches a random AI tool from Futurepedia search API

• Opens the tool detail page

• Extracts structured fields (description, what is, key features, pros/cons, who uses, image)

• Returns clean JSON for downstream assistant use

MCP tools

Futurepedia-specific:

• futurepedia_random_tool() — get one random tool with parsed metadata

• futurepedia_tools(count=3) — get several random tools in one call

Universal crawler:

• crawl_url(url, timeout_sec=30) — parse generic webpage (text + title + links)

• crawl_many(urls, timeout_sec=30) — batch crawl up to 20 URLs

• crawl_sitemap(sitemap_url, limit=20, timeout_sec=30) — extract URLs from sitemap.xml

• crawl_file(source, timeout_sec=30) — parse local/remote txt/md/html/pdf/docx

• extract_structured(url, schema_json, timeout_sec=30) — CSS-selector extraction by schema

Quick start

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

The server runs over stdio (default MCP mode).
