English

MCP server that lets AI agents search the web and extract clean Markdown content — no ads, no clutter, just the text your LLM needs.

What's New in v2.0.0

New features:

• JS rendering — Render JavaScript-heavy sites with Playwright (Chromium headless). Auto-fallback when httpx gets 403 or empty content
• Structured data extraction — Extract JSON-LD, Open Graph, Twitter Cards, meta tags, canonical URLs, and hreflang links with extract_schema=True
• Screenshots — New webscrape_screenshot tool captures page screenshots with configurable viewport, full-page mode, and PNG/JPEG format
• Multi-engine search — DuckDuckGo primary, automatic fallback to Google and Bing if DDGS is unavailable
• Smart truncation — Content is truncated at paragraph/sentence boundaries instead of mid-word

Improvements:

• Enhanced cache: 500 entries with 15-minute TTL (was 200, no expiry)
• Better error handling with specific messages for 403, 404, 429, timeouts
• Updated Dockerfile with Chromium dependencies for Playwright
