webclaw

Web extraction for AI agents, powered by a local Rust engine. It turns any URL into clean Markdown, text, or JSON through the webclaw MCP server, and it works with no API key.

Install

npx create-webclaw

This downloads the webclaw-mcp binary and adds it to your agent's MCP config (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, Antigravity, and more). Restart the agent to load the tools below.

• No key needed. Extraction runs on your machine: free, private, and unlimited for the common case. Static sites, docs, blogs, server-rendered pages, and product pages all work locally.
• Optional upgrade. Set WEBCLAW_API_KEY (from https://webclaw.io) and webclaw escalates to the hosted engine for the pages local extraction can't finish: bot-protected sites and JavaScript-rendered SPAs. Without a key, those pages return a clear message that tells you how to unlock them.
