Skrape MCP Server

Skrape MCP Server transforms any web page into clean, LLM‑ready Markdown. It bridges the gap between raw HTML and AI models by stripping out clutter—ads, navigation bars, footers—and presenting only the core content in a consistent, structured format. For developers building AI assistants that need to ingest web information quickly and reliably, Skrape provides a single, well‑defined tool () that can be invoked from any MCP‑compatible client such as Claude Desktop.

The server solves a common pain point: web pages are notoriously noisy and vary wildly in layout. Traditional scraping libraries often return raw HTML or require custom parsing logic for each site. Skrape abstracts this complexity by leveraging the skrape.ai service, which handles rendering JavaScript‑heavy pages, executing dynamic scripts, and extracting the meaningful text. The result is a Markdown document that preserves headings, lists, tables, and other structural elements while eliminating extraneous UI components. This format is naturally digestible by language models, reducing the need for post‑processing or custom tokenization.

Key capabilities include:

• JavaScript support: Dynamically rendered content is fully processed, ensuring that single‑page applications or sites that load data via AJAX are captured accurately.
• LLM‑optimized output: The Markdown adheres to a predictable structure, making it easier for models to parse and summarize.
• Optional JSON response: Developers can request a richer payload that includes metadata such as the original URL, fetch timestamps, or rendering options—useful for logging and advanced pipelines.
• Uniform formatting: Regardless of the source domain, every page is converted into a consistent Markdown skeleton, simplifying downstream processing.

Typical use cases span the entire AI development lifecycle:

• Knowledge‑base creation: Pulling up-to-date articles from news sites or documentation pages into a searchable knowledge graph.
• Data ingestion for training: Generating clean text corpora from diverse web sources to fine‑tune models.
• Content summarization: Feeding the Markdown directly into a summarizer or question‑answering system without additional cleaning steps.
• Real‑time browsing assistants: Allowing an assistant to fetch and present web content on demand, with the assurance that only relevant information is delivered.

Integration is straightforward: an MCP‑compatible client simply calls the tool, passing a URL and optional flags such as . The server returns the processed Markdown (or JSON) over standard I/O, fitting seamlessly into existing workflows. Because Skrape is built around MCP’s tool invocation pattern, it can be used not only with Claude Desktop but also with any LLM platform that supports MCP.

What sets Skrape apart is its focus on quality and consistency. By outsourcing the heavy lifting of web rendering to a dedicated service, it guarantees that every page is treated uniformly. This eliminates the need for developers to maintain custom scrapers, reduces maintenance overhead, and ensures that AI assistants receive clean, model‑friendly input every time.
