+ # html-extractor-mcp
2
+
3
+ HTML Extractor MCP server. Fetch URLs, extract text/links, call JSON APIs.
4
+
5
+ No external dependencies for basic fetching. Optional `playwright-cli` for SPA/anti-scraping sites.
6
+
7
+ ## Install
8
+
9
+ ```bash
10
+ npm install -g html-extractor-mcp
11
+ ```
12
+
13
+ ## Usage
14
+
15
+ ### Claude Desktop / Cursor / OpenCode
16
+
17
+ Add to your MCP config:
18
+
19
+ ```json
20
+ {
21
+ "mcpServers": {
22
+ "html-extractor": {
23
+ "command": "npx",
24
+ "args": ["-y", "html-extractor-mcp"]
25
+ }
26
+ }
27
+ }
28
+ ```
29
+
30
+ ## Tools
31
+
32
+ ### `fetch_url` — Fetch URL
33
+
34
+ Fetch a webpage and return its HTML content.
35
+
36
+ **Input:**
37
+ ```json
38
+ {
39
+ "url": "https://example.com",
40
+ "timeout": 30000,
41
+ "use_browser": false
42
+ }
43
+ ```
44
+
45
+ **Output:**
46
+ ```json
47
+ {
48
+ "url": "https://example.com",
49
+ "status": 200,
50
+ "content_length": 1256,
51
+ "html": "<!doctype html><html>..."
52
+ }
53
+ ```
54
+
55
+ ### `extract_text` — Extract Text
56
+
57
+ Fetch a webpage and extract plain text content (strips HTML tags, scripts, styles).
58
+
59
+ **Input:**
60
+ ```json
61
+ {
62
+ "url": "https://example.com"
63
+ }
64
+ ```
65
+
66
+ **Output:**
67
+ ```json
68
+ {
69
+ "url": "https://example.com",
70
+ "status": 200,
71
+ "text_length": 280,
72
+ "text": "Example Domain This domain is for use in illustrative examples..."
73
+ }
74
+ ```
75
+
76
+ ### `extract_links` — Extract Links
77
+
78
+ Fetch a webpage and extract all links (href + text).
79
+
80
+ **Input:**
81
+ ```json
82
+ {
83
+ "url": "https://example.com"
84
+ }
85
+ ```
86
+
87
+ **Output:**
88
+ ```json
89
+ {
90
+ "url": "https://example.com",
91
+ "status": 200,
92
+ "link_count": 1,
93
+ "links": [
94
+ { "text": "More information...", "href": "https://www.iana.org/domains/example" }
95
+ ]
96
+ }
97
+ ```
98
+
99
+ ### `fetch_json` — Fetch JSON API
100
+
101
+ Fetch a URL and parse the response as JSON.
102
+
103
+ **Input:**
104
+ ```json
105
+ {
106
+ "url": "https://httpbin.org/get"
107
+ }
108
+ ```
109
+
110
+ **Output:**
111
+ ```json
112
+ {
113
+ "url": "https://httpbin.org/get",
114
+ "status": 200,
115
+ "data": {
116
+ "args": {},
117
+ "headers": { "Host": "httpbin.org" },
118
+ "url": "https://httpbin.org/get"
119
+ }
120
+ }
121
+ ```
122
+
123
+ ## Browser Engine (Playwright CLI)
124
+
125
+ For SPA sites or anti-scraping protection, set `use_browser: true`:
126
+
127
+ ```json
128
+ {
129
+ "url": "https://medium.com",
130
+ "use_browser": true
131
+ }
132
+ ```
133
+
134
+ This uses `@playwright/cli` (installed as a dependency) to render the page in a real browser environment.
135
+
136
+ ## Design
137
+
138
+ | Feature | Why |
139
+ |---------|-----|
140
+ | Zero core deps | Only `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` and `zod` |
141
+ | Native fetch | Node 18+ built-in, no external HTTP library |
142
+ | Browser fallback | `@playwright/cli` for SPA/anti-scraping sites |
143
+ | Text extraction | Strips scripts, styles, HTML tags |
144
+ | Link extraction | Extracts href + text from anchor tags |
