Frequently asked questions
Where does MCP Website Downloader store downloaded content?

How does MCP Website Downloader handle errors?
The server returns JSON error responses with status `"error"` and a detailed message. It handles invalid URLs, network errors, asset download failures, malformed HTML, deep recursion, and file system issues.
What transport does MCP Website Downloader use?
It uses the standard MCP interface, running as a subprocess communicated via stdio (as configured in the client’s JSON config).
Is there a limit to how many pages MCP Website Downloader can download?
The README mentions “reasonable depth limits” as a design principle and handles deep recursion in error handling, suggesting a configurable or built-in limit, but the exact value is not specified.
