### Description (declared)

# Single-File MCP Server

A powerful Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides intelligent web content extraction using [single-file](https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile) and [trafilatura](https://github.com/adbar/trafilatura). Perfect for AI agents that need to access and analyze web content from JavaScript-heavy sites.

**GitHub Repository**: [https://github.com/kwinsch/singlefile-mcp](https://github.com/kwinsch/singlefile-mcp)

## Features

### 🌐 Universal Web Content Access
- **JavaScript Support**: Handles modern SPA/React/Vue apps that require browser rendering
- **Clean Content Extraction**: Uses Mozilla's Readability algorithm via trafilatura
- **Rich Metadata**: Extracts title, author, date, description, and more
- **Multiple Output Formats**: Raw HTML or clean markdown-like content

### 📄 Smart Pagination & Token Management
- **Flexible Pagination**: Offset/limit system like file reading tools
- **Token Limits**: Configurable max tokens (up to 25,000)
- **Smart Truncation**: Summary mode shows beginning + end, truncate mode cuts cleanly
- **Navigation Hints**: Clear guidance on how to continue reading large documents

### ⚡ Performance & Control
- **Selective Loading**: Block images/scripts for faster processing
- **Content Compression**: Optional HTML compression
- **Timeout Protection**: Configurable timeouts prevent hanging
- **Error Handling**: Graceful degradation when extraction fails

## Installation

### Prerequisites
- Python 3.8+
- [single-file CLI](https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile) - Web page capture tool
- Node.js 16+ (for single-file)
- A supported browser (Chromium, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc.)

### Install single-file CLI

The [single-file CLI](https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile/tree/master/cli) is essential for this MCP server to work. It uses a real browser engine to accurately capture JavaScript-rendered content.

```bash
npm install -g single-file-cli
```
