Overview

What is Web Cat API?

Web Cat API is a collection of Python-based APIs that includes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for web search and content extraction. It integrates with Serper.dev for search capabilities and uses the readability library to extract clean text from web pages, making it easy to feed web content into AI models.

How to use Web Cat API?

Run the MCP server via Docker with docker run -p 8000:8000 -e SERPER_API_KEY=your_key tmfrisinger/webcat:latest. You can also set a custom port or configure rate limiting via environment variables.

Key features of Web Cat API

  • Content extraction using the readability library
  • Web search integrated with Serper.dev
  • MCP-compliant with both SSE streaming and REST endpoints
  • Configurable rate limiting and API versioning
  • Docker support for simple deployment

Use cases of Web Cat API

  • Enable AI models to search the web and extract clean text content
  • Integrate real‑time web data into Custom GPTs and other AI applications
  • Process web pages for text and image content extraction

Frequently asked questions
