Webclaw

Webclaw

Fast, local-first web content extraction for LLMs. Scrape, crawl, extract structured data — all from Rust. CLI, REST API, and MCP server.

Add to your client

Claude Code — run this in your terminal:

claude mcp add webclaw -- npx -y @webclaw/mcp
Claude Desktop and other clients: paste this into the configuration file
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webclaw": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@webclaw/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Built from the configuration example in the project's README. The buttons open the app on your computer, which asks you to confirm before anything is added.
