That approach is a losing arms race — search engines detect and ban scrapers within days, and even when it works, you get DOM soup that your LLM has to clean up.\n\n**This server takes a different approach** — it talks to APIs that are *built* for agents:\n\n| What it does | How |\n|---|---|\n| Real web search | Brave Search API, Tavily API (whitelisted, ranked, structured JSON) |\n| Reads any URL | Jina Reader (handles JS rendering + anti-bot, returns clean markdown) |\n| Encyclopedic lookup | Wikipedia MediaWiki API |\n| Academic preprints | arXiv API |\n| Peer-reviewed papers | Crossref API |\n| Tech signal | Hacker News Algolia API |\n| Code Q&A | Stack Exchange API (any site) |\n\nThe s…","publisher":null,"homepage":"https://github.com/infinit3labs/web-research-mcp","repository":"https://github.com/infinit3labs/web-research-mcp/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md","version":"0.3.0","license":"MIT","protocols":["mcp"],"tags":["ai-agents","arxiv","brave","mcp","model-context-protocol","research","tavily","web-search","wikipedia"],"pricing":null,"endpoints":[{"url":"pypi:deep-web-research-mcp","type":"package_pypi","auth":null,"probeable":false}],"skills":null,"tools":null,"extra":null,"attribution":{"kind":"pypi","name":"pypi","license":"pypi","repoUrl":"pypi","summary":"pypi","version":"pypi","description":"pypi","homepageUrl":"pypi"}},"derived":{"capabilities":[{"slug":"data.web-search","name":"Web Search","confidence":1,"provenance":"declared"},{"slug":"research.academic","name":"Academic Research","confidence":1,"provenance":"declared"},{"slug":"infra.browser-automation","name":"Browser Automation","confidence":0.814,"provenance":"derived"},{"slug":"dev.ci-cd","name":"CI/CD & Deploy","confidence":0.756,"provenance":"derived"},{"slug":"dev.version-control","name":"Version Control","confidence":0.745,"provenance":"derived"}],"categories":["data","dev","infra","research"],"language":"en"},"observed":{"status":"unknown","statusReason":"Distributed as a package to run locally; no network endpoint to check.","lastOkAt":null,"lastProbedAt":null,"statusComputedAt":null,"reliability30d":null,"latestObservations":[],"tools":null,"package":{"name":"deep-web-research-mcp","registry":"pypi","observedAt":"2026-10-27T23:25:28.511Z","publishedAt":"2026-09-06T05:27:34.675905Z","latestVersion":"0.3.0"},"toolSurface":null,"endpointFacts":[]},"verification":{"claimed":false,"claimedAt":null,"proofs":[]},"provenance":{"sources":[{"source":"pypi","key":"deep-web-research-mcp","url":"https://pypi.org/project/deep-web-research-mcp/","firstSeenAt":"2026-09-09T14:31:12.542Z","fetchedAt":"2026-10-27T23:24:18.018Z","normalizedAt":"2026-10-27T23:24:18.018Z"}]},"firstSeenAt":"2026-09-09T14:31:12.542Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-27T23:25:28.511Z"}
