# WebDataTools Web content for AI & RAG MCP server
`webdatatools-rag-mcp`
An MCP server with 6 web content for ai & rag tools for AI agents — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline or any MCP client. Web search with page text, website-to-Markdown crawling, clean article extraction, JSON-LD/structured data, Google News and press-release monitoring — ready for LLM context and RAG pipelines.
**This server uses *your own* Apify API token.** Every tool call runs a [WebDataTools](https://apify.com/webdatatools) Actor under your Apify account and is billed to your Apify credit — pay per result, the price is in each tool description. Your token is only sent to Apify's API.

Scored across 6 tools
Most tools are clearly differentiated by source or output type: general web search, site-to-Markdown crawl, article extraction, structured data, Google News, and press releases. The main overlap is between website_to_markdown and article_extractor when processing a single news/blog article, but their broader purposes are still distinguishable.
All names use snake_case and are descriptive, which makes them readable and predictable. The patterns vary slightly (action-oriented names like ai_web_search vs. noun-extractor names like article_extractor), but the set remains consistent overall.
Six tools is a well-scoped size for a web-data RAG server. Each tool has a distinct source or extraction focus, so the surface does not feel bloated or thin.
The set covers core web-data acquisition workflows: search, crawling, article extraction, structured data, news, and press releases. Minor gaps such as PDF extraction, social media sources, or advanced crawl controls exist, but the core RAG pipeline needs are well represented.
