# Crawleo MCP Server

[![smithery badge](https://smithery.ai/badge/crawleo/crawleo)](https://smithery.ai/server/crawleo/crawleo)

Real-time web search and crawling capabilities for AI assistants through Model Context Protocol (MCP).

## Overview

Crawleo MCP enables AI assistants to access live web data through two powerful tools:
- **web.search** - Real-time web search with multiple output formats
- **web.crawl** - Deep content extraction from any URL

## Features

✅ **Real-time web search** from any country/language  
✅ **Multiple output formats** - Enhanced HTML, Raw HTML, Markdown, Plain Text  
✅ **Device-specific results** - Desktop, mobile, or tablet view  
✅ **Deep content extraction** with JavaScript rendering  
✅ **Zero data retention** - Complete privacy  
✅ **Auto-crawling** option for search results

---

## Installation

### Option 1: NPM (Recommended for local usage)

Install globally via npm:

```bash
npm install -g crawleo-mcp
```

Or use npx without installing:

```bash
npx crawleo-mcp
```

### Option 2: Clone Repository

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Crawleo/Crawleo-MCP.git
cd Crawleo-MCP
npm install
npm run build
```

### Option 3: Docker

Build and run using Docker:

```bash
# Build the image
docker build -t crawleo-mcp .

# Run with your API key
docker run -e CRAWLEO_API_KEY=your_api_key crawleo-mcp
```

**Docker configuration for MCP clients:**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crawleo": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "CRAWLEO_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE", "crawleo-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Option 4: Remote Server (No installation needed)

Use the hosted version at `https://api.crawleo.dev/mcp` - see configuration examples below.

---

## Getting Your API Key

1. Visit [crawleo.dev](https://crawleo.dev)
2. Sign up for a free account
3. Navigate to your dashboard
4. Copy your API key (starts with `sk_`)

## Setup Instructions

### Using Local MCP Server (npm package)

After installing via npm, configure your MCP client to use the local server:

**Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf (Local):**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crawleo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["crawleo-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CRAWLEO_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**Or if installed globally:**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crawleo": {
      "command": "crawleo-mcp",
      "env": {
        "CRAWLEO_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**From cloned repository:**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crawleo": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/Crawleo-MCP/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "CRAWLEO_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Using Remote Server (Hosted)

#### 1. Claude Desktop

**Location of config file:**

- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
- **Linux**: `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`

**Configuration:**

```json
{

response = client.responses.create(
    model="gpt-4",
    input=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": [
                {
                    "type": "input_text",
                    "text": "search for latest news about openai models"
                }
            ]
        }
    ],
    text={
        "format": {
            "type": "text"
        },
        "verbosity": "medium"
    },
    reasoning={
        "effort": "medium"
    },
    tools=[
        {
            "type": "mcp",
            "server_label": "Crawleo",
            "server_url": "https://api.crawleo.dev/mcp",
            "server_description": "Crawleo MCP Server - Real-Time Web Knowledge for AI",
            "authorization": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE",
            "allowed_tools": [
                "web.search",
                "web.crawl"
            ],
            "require_approval": "always"
        }
    ],
    store=True,
    include=[
        "reasoning.encrypted_content",
        "web_search_call.action.sources"
    ]
)

print(response)
```

**Key Parameters:**
- `server_url` - Crawleo MCP endpoint
- `authorization` - Your Crawleo API key
- `allowed_tools` - Enable `web.search` and/or `web.crawl`
- `require_approval` - Set to "always", "never", or "conditional"

**Node.js Example:**

```javascript
import OpenAI from 'openai';

const client = new OpenAI();

const response = await client.responses.create({
  model: 'gpt-4',
  input: [
    {
      role: 'user',
      content: [
        {
          type: 'input_text',
          text: 'search for latest AI developments'
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  tools: [
    {
      type: 'mcp',
      server_label: 'Crawleo',
      server_url: 'https://api.crawleo.dev/mcp',
      server_description: 'Crawleo MCP Server - Real-Time Web Knowledge for AI',
      authorization: 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE',

## Troubleshooting

### MCP server not appearing

1. **Check config file location** - Make sure you're editing the correct file
2. **Verify JSON syntax** - Use a JSON validator to check for syntax errors
3. **Restart the application** - Completely quit and reopen (not just reload)
4. **Check API key** - Ensure your API key is valid and active at crawleo.dev

### Authentication errors

- Verify your API key is correct (should start with `sk_`)
- Make sure the key is wrapped in quotes
- Check that "Bearer " prefix is included in the Authorization header (for Claude/Cursor/Windsurf)
- For OpenAI Platform, use the key directly in the `authorization` field
- Confirm your account has available credits at crawleo.dev

### No results returned

- Check your internet connection
- Verify the search query is not empty
- Try a simpler search query first
- Check API status at crawleo.dev

### Tool names not recognized

Make sure you're using the correct tool names:
- Use `web.search` (not `search_web`)
- Use `web.crawl` (not `crawl_web`)
