# 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
```bash
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .
python -m universal_crawler_mcp.server
```
The server runs over stdio (default MCP mode).
## Claude Desktop / MCP client config
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"universal-crawler": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "universal_crawler_mcp.server"],
"cwd": "/absolute/path/to/mcp-universal-crawler"
}
}
}
```
## Environment
Optional:
- `PROXY_URL` — proxy URL used for HTTP requests
## Notes
Crawler logic is adapted from `litvan007/AI-slop-tg` (`src/futurepedia.py`) and wrapped for MCP usage.
