Remote URL or a command on your machine? How the two installs differ
Run on PlugMCP
A new server you create. It is not this listing's official endpoint. Use the publisher install when you want their URL and their credentials.
LaunchExtract clean, readable content from any URL. Returns markdown text, links, and metadata. No API keys, no config. A free alternative to Firecrawl for scraping docs, blogs, and articles.
npx mcp-server-scraper
Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, and any MCP client. No accounts or API keys needed.

When you're working with an AI assistant and need to reference a docs page, a blog post, or an API reference, you usually end up copy-pasting content manually. Tools like Firecrawl solve this but require a paid API key. This server does the same thing for free. It fetches a URL, runs it through Mozilla Readability (the same engine behind Firefox Reader View), and returns clean markdown. It works well for server-rendered content like documentation sites, blog posts, and articles. It won't handle JavaScript-heavy SPAs, but for the most common use case of "read this docs page and summarize it," it does the job.
Add to .cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"scraper": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-server-scraper"]
}
}
}
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"scraper": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-server-scraper"]
}
}
}
Add to your MCP settings (e.g. .vscode/mcp.json):
{
"mcp": {
"servers": {
"scraper": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-server-scraper"]
}
}
}
}
Uses Mozilla Readability (the engine behind Firefox Reader View) plus linkedom for fast HTML parsing in Node. No headless browser needed. Works best with server-rendered pages: docs, blogs, articles, news sites.
This repo is an Agent Plugins 1.0.0 package: plugin.json, portable mcp.json, and skills/ ship together with the MCP server.
For Cursor, clone the repo and copy or symlink it to ~/.cursor/plugins/local/mcp-server-scraper, then reload the window. Skills and MCP show up under Customize > Plugins.
The Cursor and VS Code install buttons above still work: they add the same npx -y mcp-server-scraper stdio server as manual JSON.
A free MCP server that turns public web pages into clean markdown using Mozilla Readability. No Firecrawl or other scrape API key.
No. It fetches HTML and parses it in Node. Use a browser MCP for React dashboards and other client-rendered sites.
Firecrawl is a hosted scrape API with billing. This server runs locally via npx, costs nothing, and fits doc/blog/article URLs.
Yes. Use the local plugin path under ~/.cursor/plugins/local/mcp-server-scraper so the bundled web-scraping skill loads with the MCP config.
No. Point your MCP client at npx -y mcp-server-scraper only.

FAQ
Copy the stdio config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.
