**CrawlEngine MCP** is a **Model Context Protocol (2024-11-05)** web extraction server built on `httpx` and `beautifulsoup4` that converts HTML pages into clean Markdown, resolves relative links, extracts JSON-LD and HTML tables, and rotates browser headers and HTTP/SOCKS5 proxies.

Listed in [TensorBlock/awesome-mcp-servers](https://github.com/TensorBlock/awesome-mcp-servers).

## Why CrawlEngine MCP?

1. **Context Window Efficiency**: Strips `<script>`, `<style>`, `<nav>`, `<footer>`, cookie banners, and ads before returning Markdown to the model.
2. **Resolved Canonical Links**: Converts relative `<a href="/docs/start">` paths into full URLs using the page's `base_url`.
3. **Outbound SSRF Protection**: Blocks loopback, RFC1918 private networks, and cloud metadata (`169.254.169.254`) on both initial requests and HTTP redirects.

## Features

- **Semantic Markdown Extraction**: Preserves headings, lists, code blocks, blockquotes, and resolved inline links without duplicating nested list paragraphs.
- **Browser He…
