ThejaWebClone

Fused website-clone toolkit distilled from the Cursor chat Website cloning skills (Oct 2026).

It combines research findings, installed tools, MCPs used in that session, and the prompts that drove the work into one product:

Honest limit from that chat: a commercial site with live APIs cannot be a perfect standalone 1:1 offline twin. Product pages can be archived; search/compare/dealers need either live proxy or a rebuilt backend. ThejaWebClone makes both paths explicit.

Install

cd C:\Users\ThejanaD\Projects\ThejaWebClone
py -3.11 -m pip install -e ".[render,mcp]"
py -3.11 -m playwright install chromium

Optional (full recursive mirror engine already used in the chat):

py -3.11 -m pip install -e "C:\Users\ThejanaD\tools\website-downloader"

Related MCP server: webserver-mcp

CLI

# Offline archive (wraps website-downloader if installed)
theja-webclone mirror --url https://example.com --out .\out\example --max-pages 200 --render-js

# Headed snapshot for SPA / CloudFront-protected homes
theja-webclone snapshot --url https://example.com --out .\out\snap --headed

# Fix absolute CDN links after a mirror
theja-webclone rewrite --root .\out\example --hosts trstatic.example.com,cdn.example.com

# Serve local UI + proxy APIs to origin
theja-webclone serve --root .\out\snap --port 8770 --origin https://example.com/
