# WebQuest MCP

WebQuest MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes powerful web search and scraping tools to AI agents and MCP-compatible clients.

For available scrapers and browsers, see the [WebQuest documentation](https://mustafametesengul.github.io/webquest/).

## Installation

Installing using pip:

```bash
pip install webquest-mcp
```

Installing using uv:

```bash
uv add webquest-mcp
```

## Usage

### Starting the server

To start the WebQuest MCP server, run:

```bash
webquest-mcp serve
```

The server reads its configuration from environment variables (or a `.env` file loaded automatically). Available settings:

- `OPENAI_API_KEY` (required): OpenAI API key for scrapers.
- `HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY` (required): Hyperbrowser API key.
- `WEBQUEST_MCP_AUTH_SECRET` (optional): JWT secret to enable authenticated requests. Leave unset to disable auth.
- `WEBQUEST_MCP_AUTH_AUDIENCE` (optional, default `webquest-mcp`): JWT audience to validate when auth is enabled.
- `WEBQUEST_MCP_TRANSPORT` (optional, default `stdio`): MCP transport. Supported values: `stdio`, `sse`, `streamable-http`.
- `WEBQUEST_MCP_HOST` (optional, default `localhost`): Host to bind when the transport is HTTP-based.
- `WEBQUEST_MCP_PORT` (optional, default `8000`): Port to use when the transport is HTTP-based.

Example `.env`:

```text
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key
HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY=your_hyperbrowser_api_key
WEBQUEST_MCP_AUTH_SECRET=your_jwt_secret_key
WEBQUEST_MCP_AUTH_AUDIENCE=webquest-mcp
WEBQUEST_MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http
WEBQUEST_MCP_HOST=localhost
WEBQUEST_MCP_PORT=8000
```

### Token generation

To generate an authentication token for the MCP client, set the required environment variables and run the generator.

The token generator uses the same `WEBQUEST_MCP_*` prefix as the server.

Required settings:
