Overview
What is Web Content MCP?
Web Content MCP is an MCP server that provides two tools – web-search (Google search plus scraping top results) and url (direct URL content retrieval). It is designed for users of Claude Desktop, VSCode, or any MCP-compatible agent who need quick, automated access to web content.
How to use Web Content MCP?
Clone the repository, install dependencies with pnpm install, and create a .env file with GOOGLE_API_KEY and GOOGLE_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID. Configure your MCP client (Claude Desktop or VSCode) with a stdio server using the command pnpx tsx pointing to src/index.ts and the .env file. Invoke via prompts such as “Search for information about [query]” or “Visit and summarize information from [URL]”.

Frequently asked questions
What API keys are required?
You need a `GOOGLE_API_KEY` and a `GOOGLE_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID` stored in a `.env` file in the server’s root directory.
How do I set up Web Content MCP in Claude Desktop?
Add a JSON entry under `mcpServers` with `"command": "pnpx"`, `"args"` including `"tsx"`, the `--env-file` flag pointing to your `.env`, and the full path to `src/index.ts`.
How do I set up Web Content MCP in VSCode?
In your VSCode `settings.json`, add an MCP server entry with `"type": "stdio"`, `"command": "pnpx"`, and the same `"args"` as Claude Desktop, ensuring paths are properly escaped on Windows.
What should I do if I encounter connection or API errors?
Verify that the server is running and paths in your configuration are correct. Check that your `GOOGLE_API_KEY` and `GOOGLE_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID` are valid in the `.env` file.
