### Description (declared)

# Crawl4AI Web Scraper MCP Server

[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) <!-- Optional: Add license -->

This project provides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that uses the **[crawl4ai](https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai)** library to perform web scraping and intelligent content extraction tasks. It allows AI agents (like Claude, or agents built with LangChain/LangGraph) to interact with web pages, retrieve content, search for specific text, and perform LLM-based extraction based on natural language instructions.

This server uses:

*   **[FastMCP](https://github.com/model-context-protocol/mcp-py/blob/main/docs/fastmcp.md):** For creating the MCP server endpoint.
*   **[crawl4ai](https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai):** For the core web crawling and extraction logic.
*   **[dotenv](https://github.com/theskumar/python-dotenv):** For managing API keys via a `.env` file.
*   **(Optional) Docker:** For containerized deployment, bundling Python and dependencies.

## Features

*   Exposes MCP tools for web interaction:
    *   `scrape_url`: Get the full content of a webpage in Markdown format.
    *   `extract_text_by_query`: Find specific text snippets on a page based on a query.
    *   `smart_extract`: Use an LLM (currently Google Gemini) to extract structured information based on instructions.
*   Configurable via environment variables (API keys).
*   Includes Docker configuration (`Dockerfile`) for easy, self-contained deployment.
*   Communicates over Server-Sent Events (SSE) on port 8002 by default.
